To celebrate the 100th release on Anjunabeats, Above & Beyond are holding a series of 'Anjunabeach' parties across the globe over the next year, in honour of the legendary beach in Goa, India – the birthplace of modern rave culture and the inspiration for the label’s name.
The tour starts in Goa itself on 28 December 2007. The launch will be one of the biggest dance parties India has ever seen, attended by c.20,000 people, and will be televised and co-promoted by MTV India. Above & Beyond will headline the Anjunabeach stage and play an epic 4 hour set, as well as hosting some of the hottest talents from the acclaimed Anjunabeats label, including Finland’s Super8 & DJ Tab, Dutch tech genius Stephen J. Kroos and Australia’s rising star Jaytech. In addition to being featured on MTV, the event will be broadcast on radio stations worldwide, via Above & Beyond’s syndicated ‘Trance Around The World’ radio show.
As part of the 100th release celebrations, Above & Beyond will be running a competition to win a trip to the launch party in Goa.
