Anjunabeats

Anjunabeats is a British electronic music record label founded in 2000 by the electronic music group Above & Beyond. Its name refers to Anjuna Beach in Goa, India. The label initially served as an outlet for releases by Above & Beyond and associated artists, and later developed into an internationally recognized dance-music label within the broader Anjuna music ecosystem. Its catalogue generally spans trance, progressive trance, progressive house and other melodic forms of electronic dance music. In addition to singles and albums, the brand has expanded its presence through compilations, artist collaborations, live events and digital distribution. Although closely associated with Above & Beyond’s artist identity and live-performance activities, the label’s catalogue is not limited to the group. Reliable public information about its legal structure, ownership and financial performance is limited.

Anjunabeats was founded in 2000 by Above & Beyond members Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness and Paavo Siljamäki. The label’s name refers to Anjuna Beach in Goa, India, reflecting the founders’ connection with the area’s music culture. In its early period, the label primarily released trance and progressive music by Above & Beyond and their collaborators. As Above & Beyond gained wider recognition in the international dance-music scene, Anjunabeats developed from an artist-associated imprint into a global electronic-music label. Its activities include the release of singles, albums, compilations and digital music, supported by links with artist tours, live events and electronic-music communities. Anjunabeats is distinct in positioning from other labels operating within the wider Anjuna network, while contributing to the broader music business associated with its founders.
