Above & Beyond

Iconic trance trio known for emotive songwriting and global community building.

Formed in London, the trio of Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness, and Paavo Siljamäki stands as a foundational force in modern trance and progressive house. Their output is defined by emotive songwriting, soaring synth melodies, and a signature tension that prioritizes communal experience over aggressive club tropes. Key releases include the seminal album Tri-State from 2006 on Anjunabeats and the 2011 anthem Sun & Moon, which solidified their crossover appeal. Through their Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep labels, they have cultivated a global community centered on their Group Therapy radio show and recurring festival showcases. They continue to headline major stages worldwide while maintaining a production aesthetic that balances pop-leaning vocal hooks with expansive, atmospheric arrangements. Their enduring influence lies in their ability to bridge the gap between intimate, song-driven storytelling and the scale of stadium-sized electronic music.
