“Randall’s Island became a multiplex of temporary dance floors, with a stadium-scale stage for headliners and three tents with club-quality surround-sound systems.” —Jon Pareles, The New York Times 

“Capping off a summer that saw the biggest electronic music events in U.S. history, Electric Zoo marked its third and biggest year yet.”  —Billboard.com 

“The fest that began as a modest weekend event was something more, drawing crowds that were large even by music festival standards.” —The Wall Street Journal 

“The three-day dance party on Randall’s Island had no shortage of new: New acts, new tracks and new grass (really!) filled the 24-acre island for 12 hours a day over Labor Day weekend… Despite the record number of attendees — over 85,000 fans showed up — Electric Zoo didn’t lose its sense of ease and comfort. Thanks to an increased number of restrooms, a variety of food vendors and the use of RFID wristband technology, which minimized entrance time, there were no lines to be found. And when you wanted to dance deep inside the tent, there was an actual dance floor and ample space to do so. When you’re talking about music marathons, these are small details that many festival producers overlook, the small details that can turn a great event into an exceptional one. ” —Huffington Post 

“While it certainly is a spectacle, Electric Zoo was probably the happiest place on earth last weekend.” —Village Voice

“Electric Zoo [2011] was sick!  The crowd was unbelievable and brought an incredible energy to the city.” —Tiësto 

“I felt like playing Electric Zoo [2011] advanced me as an artist.” —Porter Robinson

Out Now
Above & Beyond Logo
“Love Is Not Enough” Remixes
From Kaskade, MRZO, Maor Levi & Bluestone, and Syknro
Out April 2
 
 
Fresh off their wildly successful Group Therapy Miami party, Above & Beyond has released the Love Is Not Enough EP featuring Zoë Johnston, now available worldwide.
 
An elegant, melodic, progressive builder with stirring strings and poignant vocals from Zoë Johnston, “Love Is Not Enough” perfectly captures the bittersweet beauty of an intense, but ultimately unsuccessful relationship. The track is the latest single from Above & Beyond’s critically acclaimed Group Therapy album, which Mixmag deemed the “artist album of the year” for 2011.
 
“‘Love Is Not Enough’ is a song from the heart about the challenges in a relationship that can arise outside of a core feeling of love for someone. Love is not enough to be with someone – a relationship needs to work day to day.” says Jono Grant of Above & Beyond.
 
Adding some stadium-sized energy to the EP is the huge, groove-fueled Above & Beyond Club Mix in all its riff-driven glory. It has received huge responses on the trio’s recent North America tour, as well as at the Group Therapy Miami event.
 
The North America version of the Love Is Not Enough EP, out on Ultra Music, also includes the Andrew Bayer & James Grant remix of Above & Beyond’s “Prelude.”
 
Further packages will be released next week on Monday, April 2, including remixes from US dance heavyweight Kaskade, the prolific Mat Zo under his drum & bass guise MRZO, rising stars Maor Levi & Bluestone and bass/electronica producer Syknro.
 
Having sold out the Hollywood Palladium in record time last year, Above & Beyond will return Los Angeles for Group Therapy LA with three gigs at the prestigious Shrine Auditorium on May 17, 18 & 19. Tickets have already sold out for the May 18 & 19, but you can get tickets for Thursday show HERE.

COMMUNITY: Above & Beyond Return To Los Angeles: Group Therapy 2012 – May 18th @ Shrine Auditorium

March 01, 2012   arthurg   No comments

Above & Beyond return to LA on their Group Therapy Tour! Check out the details of their LA stop as they embark on their North America Tour this year:

Above & Beyond Return To Los Angeles: Group Therapy 2012 - May 18th @ Shrine Auditorium

On May 18th, Above & Beyond will return to Los Angeles, playing the landmark Shrine Auditorium during Part 2 of their 2012 North American Tour.

In 2010 Jono, Paavo & Tony sold out LA’s Hollywood Palladium for their 350th radio show (TATW) celebrations, the biggest party on the Anjunabeats calendar. In 2011, they sold out two shows at the same venue in just 48 hours. This year they return toCalifornia to take on one of LA’s biggest and most historical venues, bringing the full Group Therapy experience with them.

Centered around their critically acclaimed second artist album ‘Group Therapy’ (“the biggest artist album of the year” -Mixmag) – which features the hits “Sun & Moon” and “Thing Called Love”, Above & Beyond’s show takes the DJ set up into the realm of concert theater with emotive visuals, live video messaging from the band, and a story-telling theme, creating a unique dance floor experience for Above & Beyond’s legions of Los Angeles fans.

As described by Jono from Above & Beyond, “LA has always been an extremely special place for us where some of our most dedicated fans live. It’s one of our favorite places in the world to perform, and we can’t wait to bring Group Therapy back for 2012.”

After last years sell-out shows, Above & Beyond are establishing a priority access sign up system, which will guarantee their biggest fans get the first chance at buying tickets to be part of the #GroupTherapyLA experience.  All you have to to is visit Above & Beyond > LA Signup Facebook Page and enter your email address to be registered.

Tickets will go on pre-sale to all priority access fans on March 7th at 12 noon PST.  At that date and time, those who signed up will be sent an email with the ticket link direct to their inboxes.

COMMUNITY: Mat Zo Embarks On His Biggest Tour of North America To Coincide with ‘The Bipolar EP’ Out On February 13

Mat Zo Embarks On His Biggest Tour of North America
10-Dates To Coincide with ‘The Bipolar EP’

(Anjunabeats / February 13)

With his diverse four-track ‘The Bipolar EP‘  priming itself for release, Anjunabeats rising star Mat Zo is embarking on his biggest tour of North America yet – including dates at San Francisco’s Ruby Skye, Toronto’s Guvernment, Denver’s Beta and Chicago’s Sound Bar. The 10-date tour will come to an end at Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy Miami party on Bayfront Park, site of the Ultra Music Festival, on Thursday, March 22 alongside Above & Beyond, Arty, Boom Jinx and Jaytech [#GroupTherapyMiami].

With Skrillex, Axwell, Radio 1 and MTV Dance all supporting his recent anthem “Mozart” (with Arty), the fast rising Mat Zo returns with an eclectic four-track blast of his innovative talents – each track a distinct dancefloor juggernaut in its own right.

With recent eclectic sets at events like the Bugged Out! Weekender and his drum & bass material as MRZO and MRSA for Hospital Records supported by the likes of Camo & Crooked, Zo is fast asserting himself as unique electronic talent; something ‘The Bipolar EP’ reinforces further by blending influences as varied as Daft Punk, Diplo, Deadmau5 and even classic US house and twisting them into bold big room sounds.

Surging the raw funk of Daft Punk at their punkiest against the deeply musical strains that Zo is renowned for, the lead track “Bipolar” lives up to its name by flitting between clicky grooves, electro synth stabs and subtle melodic waves in devastating dancefloor fashion.

A homage to Mat’s love of classic dance across the 90s and early noughties, “It’s Yours” is as inventive take on Jon Cutler & E-Man’s funky house classic “It’s Yours”. Already a big room anthem from Mat’s recent sets at Bugged Out! Weekender and TATW400 in Beirut, “It’s Yours” builds waves of infectious melodic funk into a climatic drop.

A bridge between the carnival sounds of acts like Diplo and Major Lazer and the stadium filling trance world, “Ring On It” is an experimental bleep and bass-heavy explosion of carnival vibes – built around a subtle but undeniably epic riff.

Named after the world famous cellist, closing track “Yoyo Ma” is a driving melodic tech odyssey that draws influences from Eric Prydz’s most epic Pryda work, big room techno and the classier end of trance.

Celebrating the ‘The Bipolar EP,’ Mat has also released an hour long mix of progressive grooves, quirky mash-ups and the innovative tracks from EP itself.
