Above & Beyond - Datatransmission 200Data Transmission is soon approaching its fourth birthday, but even more reason to celebrate is our 200th podcast special, delivered by one of the biggest dance music acts on the planet and Data Transmission 2010 DJ Poll winners, Above & Beyond. The Progressive trance act – widely considered to be one of the biggest and most inventive groups in dance music – are constantly pushing the envelope in emotional, forward thinking dance music, dripping with driving melodies and on-point razor sharp beats; it’s these qualities that they look for when packing their Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep imprints, as well as running their popular Group Therapy and preparing to go on their latest Group Therapy UK tour. Data Transmission is proud to have such dance music royalty step up to the plate for this very special edition of the weekly podcast, and as you’ll agree, the selection, skill and thought behind the mix is second to none. Here’s to another 200 episodes....over to you, boys.
Sum up this podcast in 10 words...
This is the set from our recent London pub gig.
What’s your personal favorite track on it ?
Cosmic Gate & Andrew Bayer "Nothing Ever Lasts"
What’s the special ingredient in this mix ?
A pint of real ale consumed during the performance.
What’s the best gig you’ve played recently ?
That has to be our TATW 400 gig in Beirut. It was mayhem in the venue and pandemonium on the web with thousands listening in around the world and overloading Twitter with their feedback.
What have you got coming up ?
A North America bus tour, before we bring the Group Therapy experience back home with our UK tour in April - kicking off at Brixton Academy on Saturday 7th April. For more info head to http://aboveandbeyond.nu/grouptherapyuk
Release wise, we have more singles - and new Above & Beyond Club mixes - coming from our Group Therapy album..... with "Love Is Not Enough" next in March.
And finally, do you have a special message for our readers ?
Be kind, buy your music don't steal it and remember yours is just one side of the story. Aside from that, a very happy new year and the best of luck in 2012. Hope to see you soon!
