In the ever-shifting landscape of electronic music, few things carry the weight and prestige of an Anjunabeats compilation. Since its inception in 2003, the Volume series has acted as the definitive pivotal movement for trance and progressive music. After a four-year hiatus that left fans clamoring for more, Above & Beyond have announced their most ambitious collection yet, Anjunabeats Volume 17.
Set for release on June 5, Anjunabeats Volume 17 is a 35-track manifesto. It marks a monumental chapter for the label, bridging the gap between its storied legacy and a bold, high-energy future. Curated between the quiet intensity of their London studio and the adrenaline of global touring, Volume 17 is split into two distinct journeys.
Disc One dives into the deeper, atmospheric side of the label. Expect a palette that leans into progressive depth, tribal rhythms, and a heavy dose of '90s trance nostalgia, and a sound that has seen a massive resurgence in the underground scene. Disc Two is built for the "big moments." It captures the soaring, high-octane energy that has become synonymous with Anjunabeats festival stages. Together, the two mixes provide a comprehensive snapshot of the label’s current sound of melodic, emotional, and undeniably powerful.
No Anjunabeats milestone would be complete without a contribution from the trio themselves. Leading the charge is the breathtaking new single, 'When I Look In Your Eyes.' A collaboration with the "fourth member" of Above & Beyond, the legendary Justine Suissa, the track was first debuted to a sea of 15,000 fans at Group Therapy 600 in Mexico City. After months of being one of the most sought-after IDs in their sets, the track is finally out now, serving as the perfect gateway into the Volume 17 era.
“Following the release of Bigger Than All Of Us, it felt important for this next chapter to celebrate the artists that make Anjunabeats such an exciting label to be a part of,” say Above & Beyond. “Volume 17 includes music from artists we’ve worked with for years as well as new faces representing the future of the label.”
Above & Beyond - 'When I Look In Your Eyes'
In a move that will delight audiophiles and collectors, Anjunabeats Volume 17 marks a historic first for the series, with a special physical vinyl release. Above & Beyond have handpicked a 12-track sampler for the 12" format, acknowledging the tactile connection fans have with the music that defines their lives.
Above & Beyond is celebrating the launch with an ultra-exclusive pop-up event in London on May 28. This intimate show offers a rare "up close and personal" experience with the trio, far removed from the massive amphitheaters they’ve been headlining recently. Following multiple festivals and open-air performances at EDC Vegas, We Belong Here: Brooklyn, and Elements Music & Arts Festival. Then, on September 11 - 13, they will reach their Group Therapy 700 milestone and celebrate it at The Gorge in Washington State.
Arriving on the heels of their Bigger Than All Of Us project, Volume 17 proves that while the sounds might evolve, the heart of Anjunabeats remains the same. Whether you’re a long-time "Anjunafamily" member or a newcomer to the scene, this compilation is an essential invitation to embark on a new musical journey.

Every artist has a line they won't cross. For Bosnia-born, Hamburg-raised electronic giant Solomun, that line was geographical. For over ten years, the Diynamic Music boss adhered to a strict, self-imposed summer boundary that once the Ibiza season starts, you do not cross time zones. No transatlantic flights, no grueling long-hauls, and absolutely no leaving […]
