Monday Choon: Above & Beyond - Distorted Truth

With just 2 weeks to go till Ultra South Africa 2019, we bring you our artist feature on the Monday Choon. There's no denying Above & Beyond's cult status in the electronic music world, their hit track Sun & Moon still makes the hair on the back of many necks stand every time it plays. Their weekly podcast ABGT has hundreds of thousands of streams and their sellout shows just go to prove what a phenom they are and why we are so so lucky to see them in SA, performing at our premier music festival. Today's track Distorted Truth was released last week but was first played by them at their ABGT300 show in Hong Kong last year. It's a bit more up tempo than their previous track release Flying by Candle Light but has just the right beat to get you excited for their set. The track has all the key Above & Beyond elements, the beats, the build up and uplifting tempo's. It's simply brilliant in our books and will be a firm favourite for you too.

Monday Choon: Above & Beyond feat. Zoë Johnston ‘Always’ (Above & Beyond Club Mix)

In celebration of after hearing that Above & Beyond being announced in the phase 2 line up for Ultra South Africa next year, we decided it would be fitting to have one of their tracks as our featured song of the week. Always, with vocals by  Zoe Johnston was debuted at ABGT 300 in the USA last year and has since become quite a favourite with fans of the uplifting trance genre, with it being quite a mellow track, the guys at Above & Beyond decided to up the bpm a bit by making a Club Mix just got ABGT350, the music video for the track is quite spectacular as its shot high up in snow capped mountains but we have the song live from their ABGT350 show in Hong Kong. Do enjoy!

Monday Choon: Andrew Bayer feat. Alison May - Immortal Lover (In My Last Life Mix)

After the successful ABGT300 by Above & Beyond which took place in Hong Kong 2 weeks back, I had the chance to go through some of the sets from that show. Above & Beyond's was nothing short of great as per the norm and which is why they have sellout performances wherever they go, also they were announced last week at ADE by Armin van Buuren to be performing at ASOT900 in the Netherlands. Back to ABGT300, another artist I quite enjoy from these shows is Andrew Bayer, his style is similar to that of the trio at A&B, underlying deep bass tones, with ghostly vocals and great tempo. This particular song grabbed me from his set, featuring the vocals of Alison May it really all merges well together in an epic production.
