Above & Beyond世界排名第6DJ,能够帮流行音乐巨星泡制混音单曲，似乎成为了一线DJ晋升为超级DJ巨星的最后考验，君不见DJ排行榜上响叮当的大人物Paul Oakenfold、Sasha都曾经是娜姐混音单曲的制作人，这组在近期连帮了步姐的Depend On You、娜姐的What It Feels Like For a Girl、小甜甜的Everytime、 Dido的Sand in My Shoes等制作混音以及再度重混了让DJ Tiesto一举成名的Delerium－Silence单曲，Trance三人组Above & Beyond超越自我，就绝对值得你擦亮眼镜来好好欣赏！
Trance界大佬Armin Van Buuren曾说过，他已经忘了上一次唱片箱当中没有Above & Beyond的唱片是何时！这组以制作功力见长的三人组是在2000年由Jono Grant，Tony McGuinness和Paavo Siljamki所组成，细腻的制作手法加上完美的气势铺成，彻底将Uplifting的轻盈与Progressive的飘逸融为一体，优美高雅的 Vocal搭配扣人心玄的歌词，不仅点亮了歌曲的生命也丰富了我们的听觉，也因此被尊崇为UK leading vocal trance team，他们的第一支作品是帮Chakra－Home 所制作的混音单曲，在电音意见领袖Pete Tong背书推荐后，马上成为了排行榜No.1，从此便一帆风顺的开始了他们的音乐事业，也纷纷以本名及化名OceanLab、 Tranquility Base、Free State、Dirt Devils、Nitromethane、Aalto及P.O.S.等发表过不下百首作品充分证明了他们惊人的创作实力，2002年起，他们开始以 DJ身份参与Godskitchen、Gatecrasher & Cream等大型音乐活动，皆获得不少好评，成为难得一见，“放”与“作”俱佳的全能DJ。
Above & Beyond is a trance music group formed in 2000 by Jonathan "Jono" Grant, Tony McGuinness, and Paavo Siljamäki. The trio are popular in the trance scene for their uplifting trance productions and collaborations with many vocalists. The group's tracks are regularly played by well-known DJs, such as Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, ATB and Paul van Dyk.
[edit] Formation
Jono Grant and Paavo Siljamäki met at the University of Westminster and they set up the Anjunabeats label in the summer of 1999 with the release of the 'Anjunabeats Volume 1'. Anjunabeats Volume 1 was the very first track recorded by Jono and Paavo. This 'Original Mix' packaged with their 'Tease Dub Mix' received immediate attention in various dance clubs, and quickly gained support from Pete Tong, Paul Oakenfold and Paul van Dyk. Above & Beyond came together in 2000 when producer Tony McGuinness called in Grant and Siljamäki to help him complete a remix of Chakra's "Home" track while at the Warner Music Group.[1]
The inspiration for the name Above & Beyond came from a web page belonging to an American motivational trainer coincidentally named Jono Grant. Jono had the poster stuck to his wall. The slogan used by the motivational trainer was "Above & Beyond", and when the group was searching for a name to use for their Chakra remix, the slogan stuck out from the poster.[2] Although the group was relatively unknown at the time, their remix of Chakra's Home was picked over remixes by Rob Searle and Tilt to be the A side mix, and after plays by Pete Tong, reached number one in the UK club charts.
