Some collaborations carry history before the first note even lands. Above & Beyond and Justine Suissa belong firmly in that category. Together, they have shaped some of vocal trance’s most emotional moments — from the timeless OceanLab legacy to later Above & Beyond favorites that kept Justine’s unmistakable voice woven into the Anjuna story.
With “When I Look In Your Eyes”, the connection feels instantly familiar, but not nostalgic in a lazy way. This is Above & Beyond returning to the emotional core of their sound: warm melodies, elegant progression, and that bittersweet glow only Justine Suissa can deliver. Her vocal performance sits right at the centre of the record — intimate, fragile, but full of quiet strength. It does not need to overpower the production; it simply guides it.
The track has already built a special story around it. Anjunabeats describes it as the leading release from “Anjunabeats Volume 17”, noting that it premiered in front of 15,000 fans at Group Therapy 600 in Mexico City and quickly became one of the most requested IDs from Above & Beyond’s recent world tour. Above & Beyond also highlighted the single through their official channels while announcing the upcoming compilation, with Anjunabeats confirming the release under catalog number ANJ1071D.
Musically, “When I Look In Your Eyes” is not a peak-time weapon built purely for impact. At 130 BPM, it breathes with the classic Anjuna balance of emotion and club energy. The groove is measured, the synth work is polished, and the arrangement gives the vocal enough space to create that “eyes closed, hands up” feeling Above & Beyond have perfected over two decades. The drop is euphoric without being excessive — more sunrise than fireworks, more emotional release than festival overload.
Above & Beyond — Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness, and Paavo Siljamäki — remain one of the defining acts in modern trance and progressive dance music. As founders of Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep and hosts of Group Therapy Radio, they have built a global community around melody, emotion, and connection. Anjunabeats’ official artist profile also notes their two Grammy nominations and the success of albums such as “Common Ground”.
Justine Suissa, meanwhile, is far more than a featured voice in the Anjuna universe. As the singer-songwriter at the heart of OceanLab, she helped define the golden emotional blueprint of vocal trance. Anjunabeats calls OceanLab the chart-hitting project of Above & Beyond and Justine Suissa, underlining just how central her contribution has been to this sound. Her own official Instagram bio also proudly references Above & Beyond, OceanLab, songwriting, singing, and trance — a fitting snapshot of her lasting role in the scene.
“When I Look In Your Eyes” works because it understands the power of restraint. It does not chase trends, nor does it try to recreate the past note for note. Instead, it channels the emotional DNA of Above & Beyond and Justine Suissa into a refined 2026 trance record — heartfelt, polished, and unmistakably Anjuna.
