After a seven-year wait, trance icons Above & Beyond are back with their fifth studio album, Bigger Than All Of Us, set for release on July 18, 2025. The album marks not only a significant musical moment for Jono Grant, Paavo Siljamäki, and Tony McGuinness but also a celebration of their 25-year journey as one of the most beloved acts in electronic music.
A Journey of Reconnection
Since their breakthrough in the early 2000s, Above & Beyond have built a legacy on the principles of unity, love, and emotional depth in dance music. Their latest album embodies these ideals, as the trio explains:
“This album is us appreciating how amazing this thing we have is. The realization of how lucky we are that we get to be part of something like this for 25 years, and to have built a community that cares for each other in the way it does. It’s not about any of us individually. When we all work together to make something happen, something bigger happens.” – Above & Beyond
If their last studio album, Common Ground (2018), was about forging new connections, Bigger Than All Of Us is about reconnection—both with their fans and within their own creative partnership.
A Return to Their Roots
The first taste of the album arrives with Quicksand (Don’t Go), released on March 21. Featuring long-time collaborator and Grammy-nominated singer Zoë Johnston, the track is described as a return to Above & Beyond’s roots. Johnston, who has lent her ethereal vocals to classics like Good For Me and Love Is Not Enough, once again brings her signature emotional depth to the trio’s signature melodic soundscape.
A Collective and Personal Evolution
While Above & Beyond have always operated as a trio, the past seven years have seen each member embark on solo journeys. Jono Grant explored synth-wave with Darren Tate in their JODA project. Paavo Siljamäki revived his P.O.S. alias for Deeper Tales, a dancefloor-focused album. Meanwhile, Tony McGuinness revisited his early songwriting roots with Salt, an album that bridges Britpop and electronic sensibilities.
Despite these individual endeavors, the essence of Above & Beyond remains unchanged—uplifting, introspective, and deeply moving. Their studio albums, from Tri-State to Common Ground, have all served as emotional touchstones for a community of fans spanning the globe.
A Landmark Year for Anjunabeats
In addition to the album, Above & Beyond’s label, Anjunabeats, is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025. The milestone will be honored with mixes from 25 artists across the Anjuna family, showcasing the label’s impact on dance music culture. The trio also continues to evolve their label ecosystem, relaunching their ambient-focused imprint, now named Anjunachill.
The Next Chapter
With Bigger Than All Of Us, Above & Beyond reaffirm their place at the heart of the trance and progressive electronic world. More than just an album, it is a testament to their enduring connection with fans and their unwavering belief in the power of music to unite people.
As anticipation builds, one thing is clear: Above & Beyond’s legacy is far from finished—it’s only getting bigger.
