Levente Márton surely better known as Sunny Lax was born on the 6th of August 1986 in Romania but has been living in Hungary since he was four years old. As a young thirteen year old Levente was a keen enthusiast when it came to making electronic music, and it was only a matter of time before the hobby that was became a full time profession. Soon he had gained all the experience necessary when it came to employing the latest production techniques, something he is now famed for. His hard work turned fruitful when he was seventeen as he entered for two major Hungarian remix competitions and as a result Sunny Lax the artist was born on the progressional circuit through the publishing of these mixes. His first success came in the year of 2005 after he sent his new track ”PUMA” to one of the infamous dance labels Anjunabeats. The trio that are Above & Beyond were so taken back by his demo that they play the record for weeks on end (and didn’t waste any time signing him up). As a result his first EP was released (which consisted of both PUMA and Cassiopeia) and within a short time everyone that mattered was in full support, including the world’s No. 1 DJ Armin van Buuren who made PUMA the Record Of The Week (and liked it so much it featured on Armin’s legendary ASOT Yearmix Album for 2005).Driven by the success of these records Levente soon started receiving remix requests from almost every major label in the dance music scene, averaging almost a mix a month. In addition his sets have featured on major radio networks, and he has been asked to play at many key clubs around the world. But most importantly, and the thing that has continued to drive him, has been the overwhelming support from his fans, and for Levente this is what makes it all worthwhile.Recently Levente has been busier than ever. He has gone onto create trance anthems like ”Blue bird”, ”Reborn”, ”Miquë” and ”Misgrey”, and continued to work with key labels such as Anjunabeats, Mondo, AVA Recordings and Deep Blue. At the same time he has continued to remix for all the biggest labels, and for leading artists in the scene such Above & Beyond, Super8 & Tab, Darren Tate, Lange, Daniel Kandi and Nitrous Oxide.Levente is currently hard at work in the studio working on his first major album.

First, thank you for taking the time to do this and giving us an opportunity to be a part of it! My friend Ryan and I recorded this mix of some of our favorite Anjuna jams over the years.

Ryan and I are from Southern California have known each other since we were 2 years old. Our parents are good friends and we used to hang out all the time. But we lived far from each other so as we got older we didn't get to see each other as often. After a few years we decided to link up. It was then that we discovered our mutual love for all things Above & Beyond.

I first got introduced to Above & Beyond at my first ever rave, EDC 2010 in LA. I was 17 years old, had never heard their music, and was blown away. You can guess the rest. Ryan was introduced to A&B during an impromptu trip to Vegas, when a promoter friend got them free entry to a club but didn't say anything about who'd be playing. Of course, we wouldn't be telling this story if Above & Beyond weren't playing that night. That night would go down in history as one of the best nights in his and his friends' lives. ABGT171 and ABGT172 were the soundtrack of the next several months.

Fast forward to now, we've been to countless shows together: EDC twice, ABGT250 at the Gorge, Anjunabeach, and pretty much every single Anjunabeats artist that comes to SoCal. We love to DJ and share our music with other people. That's why this opportunity seemed so cool to us.

We both got into DJing after experiencing our first festival and witnessing the energy that a DJ can bring to a crowd. We used to burn mix CDs for hundreds of our classmates and got experience playing house parties. I was the "resident DJ" of my fraternity. We do it for fun sometimes with just us 2. It's all about the music.

My name is Mats from Sweden , 50 year old musicfreak jumping between genres but mostly Deep House, Progressive House and Ambient touching melodic trance/house. After 43 years of listening I decided to start mixing myself and is just in the beginning of an amazing adventure. I decided to Follow My Dreams with music and started travel to Anjuna events as they have an awesome community and fantastic people. After ABGT 300 and Anjunadeep Open Air Hong Kong i knew that I was on the right track.

My first loves were Warehouse and Progressive Trance back the early 90’s and Above and Beyond more specifically since 2001, Anjuna is my bloodline. The Anjuna family changed my life and the music rescued me. It’s inspiring to be part of a community that shares and supports the passion behind the music. It’s not just a sound, it’s a culture.   I started mixing in late 2018 and chose the name Niebo which means “heaven” in Polish. I want to take others on a euphoric journey in hopes to share the same feelings of joy and happiness I’ve experienced. My mixes are an expression of my emotions and I hope it inspires others.

We are a DJ duo from Zurich Switzerland. Formed in 2016, we are exploring the more uplifting Trance and Progressive sound like Anjunabeats as well as the dark deep underground sounds found in labels such as Anjunadeep.

Both of us fell in love with Trance music over a decade ago and we started DJing and producing independently. After we two met us at ABGT 050, we decided to join forces and start producing and DJing together.

But it was not only till early 2016, when we formed Black Void. Sharing the same love for Anjunabeats and especially Above & Beyond, we try to get our first release done later this year

I have been a fan of Anjunabeats since I discovered Above & Beyond in 2012, and from there found different types of trance music. Nowadays, I still like some of the Anjunabeats music but I definitely stray toward the Anjunadeep side now. If I'm not listening to deep/progressive house, I'm listening to techno or uplifting/tech trance.

I was always known as the person at parties who would the aux cord and play my music. It's hard to compare that feeling of someone showing a positive reaction to a song you show them.

I started DJing in June 2018 after my buddy Cody showed me the basics. I bought my first controller (DDJ-400) and for the first 6 months, there was rarely a day that went by where I didn't touch that controller. I now own an XDJ-Rx2 and have played multiple clubs in San Francisco including 1015 Folsom, Mezzanine and Public Works. I also played on Goldroom's High Seas Festival in July. While I don't produce music, that is the next step for me.

I'm from Woodland, California North West Of Sacramento.   I have been in deeply and eternally in love with all things Electronic dance music since I was a pre- teenager, about 21 years now.

October 31st, I will be celebrating my 35th birthday.   I grew into the rave scenes in the early 2000's with underground parties

Doing light shows and collecting records.. til about 2006, I was so TRANCEformed I started teaching my self how to become a DJ in the rave scene.

And I obtained my 1st and present DJ Residency in 2008 at my cities only dive Bar named The Stag Bar.

I've been listening to Above & Beyond and following the labels Anjunabeats & Anjunadeep since 2013. Ever since I'm attending a lot of Anjuna events in Europe. I'm DJ'ing @ home as a hobby and to escape from day to day business. Playing Anjuna songs as a DJ always makes me dance & smile!

I play under my real name Marty Bennett and I've been following Above & Beyond for about 7/8 years and AnjunaBeats/Deep for around 6/7 years.
I had known about the Anjunafam for a while via podcast shout-outs but I didn't get the full experience until ABGT250 - it was a whole new world filled with love and acceptance from complete strangers, all of which I'm still in daily contact with to this day.
I'd love to be a part of the Road to Prague line up as I aim to provide people with the love, energy and euphoria that my Favorited DJ's provide me with their music, I hope you enjoy the set and I hope to meet you in Prague!

My name is Farzain Jamshedji and I live in Houston, TX and have been a Anjunafam since day one. I go by Jamsheddy since that is how you say my last name.  I breathe, eat and sleep Anjuna.  I actually just got back from Red Rocks in Colorado and before that my wife and I were at The Gorge for the Group Therapy Weekender.  Boy have these past few months been amazing.  In December I am going to Austin, TX for Tinlicker. Stoked for the way the year is ending.

Anyways, I am a hug fan and have been a at home DJ "LOL" for a while now since I have two boys that keep me active.  I use to play at some local nightclubs here and there and would make the place go wild.  I became a DJ when my brother 10 years ago gave me an opportunity to DJ at his night club on the patio and that was a blast.  I would hand out CD's for free and people would love that.

Nitrous Oxide is one of the leading figures of the Polish and European trance scene. He was Anjunabeats’ first Polish DJ and each of his releases has, without fail, gained massive attention.
He first encountered electronic music in the 90s, and became fascinated by the artistic creativity of musicians such as Jean-Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield and Depeche Mode, as well as film music created by the likes of Thomas Newman and Hans Zimmer. After beginning his experimentation with sound at the age of 13, Krzysztof’s passion and ability to create tunes that smash dancefloors has continually developed.
Influenced by genres such as house, minimal, speed garage and hard dance, Nitrous Oxide’s unique releases, such as his Anjunabeats debut ‘North Pole/Frozen Dreams’ have gained support from Above and Beyond, Armin – you name it.
His DJing career has taken him to every corner of the world and he is no stranger to festivals and main rooms – the bigger the better for a sound as big as his.

Jonathan Exley started DJ'ing in 2002 and has played at various warehouses and clubs. 2004 was the year that Joonathan found Above & Beyond, on a Mixmag CD called Laser Kissed Trance. He fell in love and has had Anjuna in his heart ever since.

In 2011 he returned to music and turned his attention to learning to produce and started playing radio shows, in which he guest starred many dance music legends, such as Ferry Corsten, Marco V, Ronski Speed, Scott Bond, Lee Haslam, Jordan Suckley, Jochen Miller, Bart Claessen, Leon Bolier and many more on 2 resident stations, WAB Radio (We Are Barnsley) and Party103 in New York, where the station since creation has been in the top 10 radio stations in the world (Trance Podium Awards).

Today Jonathan is producing a 10 track album for Cyberpunk game, Born Punk alongside famed composers who composed music for World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Pirates of the Caribbbean and Hans Zimmer, which is due for release next year on all platforms, which is something I thought I would never got to do.

Hi there!

I'm Matthew Dunn. I've been a DJ since 2001 and the Above & Beyond and Anjuna fam have been a part of not only my sets, but my friends and extended/chosen family for quite some time.

I run The Department of Dance here in Houston and have not only continue to DJ but also do the #TRANCESEND shows here in H-town where we've hosted more than a few Anjuna artists

This was a live set from a show I did in the summer that was part of a "tribute set" night where all the main stage acts played a set in the style of one of their most favorite acts that has been a driving force in Dance music for at least 10 years.

I've been DJing a little over year now, however have been involved in helping curate and direct events here in Denver for close to 7 years now. Helped find Denver Trance Family and am a member and DJ for TheHundred/HotBoi Records which is a very big promoter from the Denver. The Hundreds throws a majority of the techno and house events and with them I've gotten to open and close for quite a few artists, the next biggest one being Anjuna and Drumcode heavy weight John Mockman. I recently just closed out for house/disco legend Roosevelt and also played an after hours even with Oona Dahl. I can't even begin to count the amount of events regarding Anjuna bust some of the most memorable include: Anjunabeats Miami 2017, Above & Beyond Acoustic Hollywood Bowl, Every Above & Beyond at Red Rocks, Common Ground L.A. Anjuna All In and host of others. My most cherished Anjuna moment is probably getting to hang out and talk with Zo Johnston after Above & Beyond at a secret after hours, outside of that I love meeting all my virtual Anjuna family for the first time as I travel to shows. It's as if we were already real friends for life and its such a feeling.

A little bit about me, My name is Nour and I've been learning to DJ for a few months now. Before Anjunadeep OpenAir: London, a few of us had a small party. We had new and experienced DJs from the anjunafam playing their favourite tunes to a the rest of the fam! The name of the Party was Anjunafamily - Off the MaP... The 'M' and the 'P' from MaP represented Mel & Paul - two of our favourite London Anjuna fam who are moving to New Zealand.

This is my set from that party and it's just under an hour long. It was the first time I played in public, but I absolutely loved the opportunity to do so! The set includes some of my favourite tunes from recent years :)
