Above & Beyond vs. Kyau & Albert

What you get when you cross Anjunabeats and Euphonic, Anphonic of course! Produced by Above & Beyond And Kyau & Albert. The biggest trance collaboration of 2010 sees Above & Beyond join forces with German stars Kyau & Albert for this surging peak-time trance anthem – a standout track from Above & Beyond’s ‘Anjunabeats Volume 8’. Beginning in menacing fashion with tight, gnarly bass grooves and a shuffling tech rhythm, ‘Anphonic’ then balances darkness with light through a deeply uplifting breakdown and a beautifully simple, clipped melody that manages to feel fresh and familiar all at once. Ripping back into a contrasting combination of electro bass and epic chords, ‘Anphonic’ then shifts another gear as the main melody gets released to full, climatic effect. Balancing the peak-time thrust of the original, prodigious Russian star Arty builds on his growing reputation with an impressively mature rework that takes a more slow-burning, but equally powerful path - lacing the original melodies with eerie, echoed atmosphere and building a deeper, hypnotising groove that unravels into gliding euphoria.
