And there are acts that can write songs that will bring out the goose bumps in you. But there\u2019s only one group that can do both: Above &amp; Beyond. This three piece have remixed Madonna, won Essential Mix of the Year, and played to one million people in Rio de Janeiro. More importantly they\u2019ve written songs with the power and the melody to en-trance that one million-strong crowd, many of who were singing along, word for word.<\/p>\n<p>Above &amp; Beyond make music, pure and simple. That music happens to be electronic. And it connects. \u201cWe\u2019re a group,\u201d says Above &amp; Beyond founder Tony McGuinness. \u201cAnd what we\u2019re trying to do is exactly do that, connect with people. You try and describe something in your own life, but in a way that will resonate with other people. When you see people singing along as passionately as they do, I guess you\u2019re getting it right.\u201d This makes Above &amp; Beyond unique, not just in trance, but in popular music as well. \u201cWe like to think of ourselves as songwriters first,\u201d says Paavo Siljamaki, who with Jono Grant makes up the trio. \u201cThat\u2019s our approach to music. The most challenging thing is to write a song that really touches the listener.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Above &amp; Beyond are not people who like to do things by halves. Witness their latest release, \u2018Anjunabeats 100\u2019 \u2013 a collection of the very best tracks from their universally respected Anjunabeats label. The album also includes a DVD documentary, which captures the two shows the band played over Christmas and New Year 2007. First they travelled to Goa, India, the spiritual home of trance and their label Anjunabeats, to play an unforgettable sunset set at an open-air beach festival. Days later they flew to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, another stronghold of the international trance sound, to headline a New Year\u2019s Eve show on Barra de Tijuca beach \u2013 in front of one million people. Dressed in the traditional white of Brazilian New Year, Above &amp; Beyond captivated Rio with a set that was truly magical. Many of that crowd were fans who had travelled from all over Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was life-changing,\u201d says Tony. \u201cIt was amazing to look out and see that many people. In some ways it was too big to comprehend!\u201d From club gigs in Eastern Europe to major festivals like Coachella in California, Above &amp; Beyond have the ability to entrance audiences. Their music has grandeur and melody, but it\u2019s edged with steel too. There are dark shadows but sweet moments too. And it\u2019s bigger than any genre. Trance is too small a word for what they do.<\/p>\n<p>All three are experienced musicians who know their way around a studio without the need for engineers. Tony McGuinness was marketing director for Warner Brothers Records \u2013 but for years previously was the guitarist\/songwriter of cult indie band Sad Lovers &amp; Giants. Asked to organize a remix of Chakra\u2019s \u2018Home\u2019 in 2000, he joined together with Jono Grant and Paavo Siljamaki &#8211; and Above &amp; Beyond was born. \u201cBy coincidence we ended up putting three individuals with complimentary and different talents into the mix,\u201d says Tony. Pete Tong quickly latched on to their talents: that debut remix for Chakra quickly reached Number One on the club charts. It\u2019s been a rollercoaster ride ever since.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092558\/Above-and-Beyone-2.jpeg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-208 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  title=\"Above and Beyond \"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092558\/Above-and-Beyone-2-80x53.jpeg\"  alt=\"\"  width=\"300\"  height=\"200\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092558\/Above-and-Beyone-2-300x200.jpeg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092558\/Above-and-Beyone-2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092558\/Above-and-Beyone-2-380x253.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092558\/Above-and-Beyone-2-80x53.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092558\/Above-and-Beyone-2-250x167.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092558\/Above-and-Beyone-2-550x367.jpeg 550w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092558\/Above-and-Beyone-2-270x180.jpeg 270w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092558\/Above-and-Beyone-2-450x300.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092558\/Above-and-Beyone-2.jpeg 600w\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jono Grant first discovered dance music when he borrowed his brother James\u2019s cassette of Paul Oakenfold\u2019s classic Goa mix \u2013 and fell in love with its sweeping melodrama. He was already training as a classical pianist and played guitar. But that mix inspired him to start building his own studio, taking on part time jobs to buy bits and pieces of equipment. \u201cI managed to save up enough money from mowing the lawn to buy a drum machine,\u201d he laughs. By the time he arrived at London\u2019s University of Westminster, he had a small, yet compact studio, which completely filled his tiny 4 x 2 metre university room. His first production was a remix of Strike\u2019s Top Five hit \u2018U Sure Do\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Paavo had arrived at the same university from his native Finland, where he had already fallen in love with electronic music and composed music for theatre. Also classically trained on cello and piano, he was studying music business. The two met one beery night in university halls and Jono proceeded to play his latest productions. \u201cI love this kind of music,\u201d Paavo told Jono. \u201cLet&#8217;s write a track together.\u201d Jono loved the idea. They pooled their studio resources in one mad taxi dash, and Anjunabeats was born. It is now one of the most famous labels on the world stage.<\/p>\n<p>In 2001, Above &amp; Beyond remixed Madonna\u2019s \u2018What It Feels Like For A Girl\u2019 after Tony talked his way into her manager\u2019s office \u2013 and into a remix. \u201cWe were pitching for the stars at that point,\u201d smiles Paavo. Tony\u2019s charm paid off when Madonna used their mix for her controversial hot rod rampage video, directed by her husband Guy Ritchie. When she phoned, requesting some minor changes, Tony was in flagrante with his girlfriend. He took the call though. Well, if Madonna calls\u2026 Other remixes have included Dido\u2019s \u2018Sand In My Shoes\u2019 and Britney Spears\u2019s \u2018Everytime\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Their first single proper, 2002\u2019s \u2018Far From In Love\u2019 with Kate Cameron, quickly became a dance anthem. In 2006 Above &amp; Beyond released their first artist album \u2018Tri-State\u2019 which was greeted with rave reviews. \u201cBrilliant,\u201d said DJ Magazine. \u201cThe ultimate fulfillment of any dance act\u2019s ambition.\u201d The sheer quality of the songwriting on this album shone through as it swept from euphoric melodies to atmospheric down-tempo moments. Above &amp; Beyond had most certainly arrived. \u201cTri-State was our first attempt at writing an album,\u201d says Paavo. \u201cWe felt the perfect album wouldn\u2019t be 12 club tracks but a collection of songs that take you on a journey. It took over a year to do it. There were moments where we weren\u2019t really sure. But in the end we feel we made something we could be proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the album\u2019s many standouts is \u2018Alone Tonight\u2019 \u2013 a song Tony wrote after a relationship break-up. Its otherworldly melodies and heartfelt vocal performance from Richard Bedford resonate with audiences all over the world. \u201c\u2019Alone Tonight\u2019 really does connect with people,\u201d says Jono. \u201cA lot of people who go to clubs are single, and that song is about being in a relationship but feeling alone. So it resonates with both groups of people.\u201d Under their Oceanlab alias, used working with singer\/songwriter Justine Suissa, they also produced the unforgettable \u2018Satellite\u2019. Again, there\u2019s a lyric with universal appeal \u2013 which Tony wrote about Paavo and his Japanese wife, when both were on opposite sides of the world \u2013 coupled with melodies to make you shiver and a vocal drenched in emotion. It too has become a vocal trance classic and live favourite.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3.jpeg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"size-medium wp-image-209 alignleft pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  title=\"Above and Beyond \"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3-80x53.jpeg\"  alt=\"\"  width=\"300\"  height=\"200\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3-300x200.jpeg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3-380x253.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3-80x53.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3-750x500.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3-620x413.jpeg 620w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3-850x567.jpeg 850w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3-250x167.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3-550x367.jpeg 550w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3-270x180.jpeg 270w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3-450x300.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/aznightlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/25092605\/Above-and-Beyond-3.jpeg 960w\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yet Above &amp; Beyond aren\u2019t just consummate musicians and songwriters, they are also world class DJs. Their Trance Around The World radio show airs on over 120 FM, Internet and Satellite stations worldwide and reaches 20 million listeners. They began their DJing career in grand style in 2002, in front of 8,000 people in Tokyo. Since then they have become globetrotting DJ superstars. In 2004 they won Essential Mix of the Year, proving just how deftly they navigate the full spectrum of melodic dance music, with sets that cross genres with ease and that encompass the trancier side of house, progressive and techno. And each year they rise inexorably higher in the prestigious DJ Magazine poll: from 39, to 19, then down to nine, then six, before reaching their current placing at four. \u201cTo be among such great DJs is a real honour,\u201d says Paavo, with a humility typical of the band. \u201cThere are people above and below that I really, truly respect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What audiences around the world also respond to is the professionalism and enthusiasm that Above &amp; Beyond bring to their art. There is a warmth about the trio that people love. Tony is the one who gives it all on stage. \u201cTony is really the rock n\u2019 roll star of the whole crew. He\u2019s the guy with the most experience, in life, in many things,\u201d says Paavo, \u201cand he still manages to be the kid of the group.\u201d Tony sums up his band members with equal enthusiasm. \u201cJono is ambivalent about the incredible talent he has. He has a lot of energy, he is fearless when he\u2019s DJing and is always in a good mood.\u201d If Jono\u2019s contribution is an effortless musicality, says Tony, Paavo adds heart and soul. \u201cWhat he brings in a sense is how to bring out the emotion in a track.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ongoing Above &amp; Beyond world tour continues. And the band have just returned from Ibiza, where, prolific as ever, they have been recording an Oceanlab album with Justine Suissa that is even more widescreen in its vision, says Jono, than \u2018Tri-State\u2019. They work instinctively as a team, constantly striving to get better. \u201cYou get more out of life by collaborating,\u201d notes Tony. \u201cWe\u2019re always trying to grow, we\u2019re always trying to learn and we\u2019re always trying to get better at what we do.\u201d And what they do is make music with melody, movement \u2013 and meaning. Music, in short, that matters to people across the globe. \u201cYou can do stuff that is popular without selling out,\u201d says Jono. \u201cIf you do something of good quality, people respond to that.\u201d Which is why even when they are half a world away, audiences always make Above &amp; Beyond feel at home.<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; background-color: #3f3f3f;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Genre: Trance Country:\u00a0United Kingdom There are DJs who can rock a party, a club, a festival.
