Beautiful Together (Genix Remix)
by Above & Beyond pres. OceanLab
Techno powerhouse and Anjunabeats stalwart, Genix, delivers his own signature techno-leaning take on OceanLab’s 20-year-old romantic vocal trance classic, ‘Beautiful Together’. Featuring the ethereal vocals of Justine Suissa atop Above & Beyond’s balearic-tinged soundscapes, the original was released as the group’s third single in 2003 - and would go on to burn the hearts of millions of OceanLab fans in the years to come.
Genix is a UK-based DJ and producer with a career spanning over 20 years. An artist increasingly on every raver’s must-see list following performances at The Gorge Amphitheatre, London’s Drumsheds, and Los Angeles’ 1720, his own brand of melodic techno has graced some of house music’s top-tier labels - including Anjunabeats, Spinnin’ Records, Armada and Vandit.
He now returns to Anjunabeats to infuse his signature sound upon OceanLab’s stone-cold classic, ‘Beautiful Together’. The remix has been played by Above & Beyond at a number of iconic venues, including The Great Pyramids (Egypt), Red Rocks (US), Veld Music Festival (Canda), Printworks (London) and many more. This forms the second single from Above & Beyond’s forthcoming ‘OceanLab: The Anthology’ project’, which will celebrate the legacy of iconic trance group through a series of new remixes, a digital compilation, and a limited edition vinyl box set product.

Satellite (Above & Beyond's 2023 Progressive Mix)
by Above & Beyond pres. OceanLab
Above & Beyond and Justine Suissa revisit their acclaimed OceanLab alias with a progressive rework of their 20 year old vocal trance classic, ‘Satellite’. The original was released as the group’s fourth single in 2004, and features the iconic vocals and compelling lyricism of British singer-songwriter, Justine Suissa.
OceanLab are a British trance group formed by Above & Beyond and Justine Suissa in 2001. The project quickly claimed a European dance chart number one in its first year, reaching various European singles charts. Their 2004 track, ‘Satellite’, was no exception, peaking at number 19 in the UK singles chart in May 2004 and remaining there for a month. The track would go on to become a cult classic, sung along to by fans at virtually every Above & Beyond gig.
Almost twenty years on from its original release, Above & Beyond deliver a progressive mix of ‘Satellite’. More suited to the slower tempo of their live sets in 2023, the track builds with rising synths towards Justine’s iconic chorus. They debuted their remix last year, at their Group Therapy 500 celebration to a sold-out 22,000 person crowd at Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles, CA.
This is the first single from the forthcoming ‘OceanLab: The Anthology’ project, which will celebrate the legacy of the iconic trance group through a series of new remixes, a digital compilation, and a limited edition vinyl box set product.
Above & Beyond’s upcoming tour dates include two sold-out shows at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO; Insomniac’s Escape Halloween festival in California; EDC Orlando in Tampa, FL; and Dreamstate festivals in California and Sydney, Australia.

Sirens Of The Sea Remixed
by Above & Beyond
OceanLab "Sirens Of The Sea Remixed" brings together 20 (including 9 specially commissioned) club mixes of tracks from OceanLab's iTunes dance chart topping album of last year, plus a handful of OceanLab classics including UK Top 20 hit "Satellite". Anthemic mixes from Anjuna artists including Above & Beyond, Oliver Smith, Jaytech, Michael Cassette, and 16 Bit Lolitas, sit alongside reinterpretations from top flight names such as Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Signum, Lange, Gareth Emery, Andy Duguid, and more, making this the definitive collection of club mixes from one of clubland's most popular vocal dance projects.
Widely regarded as the world's premier trance and progressive house label, Above & Beyond's Anjunabeats imprint receives consistent acclaim from critics and electronic music fans alike. Under their OceanLab guise, which also features vocalist Justine Suissa, the trio of Tony, Jono and Paavo, have established themselves as a leading force when it comes to intelligently written vocal dance music. Highlights of CD1 include Jaytech's remix of "If I Could Fly", the high-flying Michael Cassette boys play on the yearning undertones of "Come Home", and reinterpretations from Anjuna debutantes Andy Duguid ("On A Beach") and Gareth Emery ("Lonely Girl"). Meanwhile, Above & Beyond's club mixes of "On A Good Day", "Miracle", "Breaking Ties", and "Sirens Of The Sea" all show how the originals translate into powerful dancefloor bombs.
On CD2, Andrew Bayer's mix of "Secret" is major departure from the original, while Hungarian duo, Myon & Shane 54 combine for a techy spin on "Just Listen". Anjunadeep's 16 Bit Lolitas get stuck into "On A Good Day", fashioning a truly blissed-out ten minutes of electronica for the summer months. "Sirens Of The Sea" gets a brooding makeover from Ralf 'Sonorous' MŸller and the Duderstadt brothers stir up a blend of sweeping synths and gentle electronics as "Breaking Ties" gets its second remake. The album closes with remixes of old favourites including "Satellite", Armin's "Sky Falls Down" remix, Ferry Corsten's take on "Clear Blue Water" and finally, Signum's epic remake of "Beautiful Together".
