Anjunabeats, Vol. 4
About This Album
Part mixtape, part label showcase and upcoming releases taster, the Anjunabeats compilation series has become one of the most eagerly anticipated compilations of the year. Well, it would, wouldn't it? Anjunabeats itself is one of the most exciting and inspiring labels dedicated to trance, almost single-handedly resuscitating the genre's flagging reputation and fortunes. The label has scoured the scene for only the highest caliber producers, artists, and DJs, creating an international stable of talent hailing from the U.S., the U.K., Western and Eastern Europe, and even Israel. Once again, the red hot Above & Beyond do the mixing honors for Anjunabeats, Vol. 4, although their own "Can't Sleep," a sweeping single featuring Luminary vocalist Ashley Tomberlin, gets a melt-down remix from Maori. Maori appears elsewhere on the set in his other guise, Maor Levi, with the gloriously gorgeous and driving "Illumina" a taster from his forthcoming album.

Luminary, too, put in an appearance with "Amsterdam," here given a further kick and a tougher sound by Smith & Pledger's superb remix. That duo's own new single, "White," debuts here, an exuberant number guaranteed to chase away even the darkest doldrums with its irrepressible rhythm and cheery melody.
