Above & Beyond Showcases Their Trance Roots with New Tranquility Base EP Release
Over the last twenty years, Above & Beyond has evolved from a passionate trio of trance enthusiasts into one of the most prominent acts worldwide, cultivating a vibrant community along the way. With iconic tracks, mesmerizing performances, and multiple influential labels that have shaped the landscape of trance and progressive house music, their journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Recently, Above & Beyond has delved into more solo projects and varied styles, but their Tranquility Base EP series serves as a powerful reminder of their deep-rooted connection to trance.
The first volume of Tranquility Base was released in 2023 and quickly captured the attention of Anjunafamily fans eager for more trance from the trio. Now, as we approach the end of 2024, Above & Beyond has delighted listeners with the second volume of the series, available today through their cherished label Anjunabeats.
Tracks from Tranquility Base Vol. 2 have been previewed at various live performances, including the unforgettable ABGT600 in Mexico City and breathtaking shows at Red Rocks and Dreamstate SoCal. The EP kicks off with the energetic singles “React” and “Another Breakdown,” setting the tone for this five-track collection, both filled with powerful melodies and uplifting moments that resonate with warmth.
Opening with soft piano notes, “From Grey To Light” gradually builds up, captivating listeners with its hypnotic beat. The second drop takes you on a thrilling acid-infused journey, shaking off the previous introspective moment. “Chasing Highs” begins with a quick vocal sample, propelling into an energetic race accompanied by the signature light piano notes of Above & Beyond, leading to an explosive finale that will have you dancing with joy.
While trance is the heart of Tranquility Base, Above & Beyond injects a touch of nostalgia with the closing track, the vibrant “Hackney Siren.” This track opens with piano riffs and breaks reminiscent of the ’90s warehouse scene, building up to a wild breakdown filled with acid stabs that will have everyone bouncing.
