So thankful for A&B and Anjuna as a whole.
Hello everyone! I just wanted to write this heartfelt post about how much A&B has become such a big positive influence in my life. I started listening to them in 2019, and I went to my first Dreamstate in SoCal. Unfortunately, I only went on Day 2 so I didn't get to see A&B when they played Day 1. I was really interested in what the trance scene was like, cuz I only went to the other festivals in NOS such as Escape, Countdown, and Beyond Wonderland. I was so mesmerized and fell in love with trance and Dreamstate as a whole since. I started to listen to all of A&B's discography, all of their albums, and all of Anjunabeats Volumes and Anjunadeep. It really put trance as my #1 favorite genre on top of everything else. It makes me wish I got into trance when I was kid, cuz this music just makes me feel so alive and happy like no other genre does. It really makes me appreciate the whole Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep volumes. I would probably say Anjunabeats 5 or 8 are my favorite and Anjunadeep 7 or 10. They're all great in their own way for me!
Since then, I have seen Above & Beyond about 5 times I believe.
- Beyond 2021
- ABGT 500 (First ever Group Therapy!)
- EDC 2023
- Red Rocks 2024
- Dreamstate 2024
(Our next dream trip for A&B is going to a Weekender at the Gorge, hopefully someday!)
EDC 2023 was a special one for me, as I proposed to my fiancée during the fireworks at A&B's set, and I had a lot of my friends on it, so I got the recording and pictures of that moment! Now, I am marrying my beautiful fiancée in Las Vegas, both a traditional wedding with both sides of our families and an EDC wedding! The entrance song when my fiancée walks down the aisle is going to be playing Gratitude! She really wanted that song to be her entrance, so I happily obliged! We're also going to have the DJ playing some A&B songs as well, cuz why the hell not!
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you Above & Beyond, and thank you for the most kind and heartwarming community. I made so many good friends and memories being a part of the trance family. <3
