Editor's note

Above & Beyond's melodic trance and vocal collaborations

The British trio built a sound around emotive electronic arrangements and regular vocal partnerships.

If you want their vibe in two tracks, try 'Satellite / Stealing Time' for the early club energy and 'Sweetest Heart' for how they work with a voice. Both get at what they do.

They've carved out a space where trance meets something more song-oriented, especially when working with singers like Zoë Johnston. Tracks like 'Sweetest Heart' show how they blend club energy with melodic hooks that stick around. Their radio show and steady album output keep that approach alive across decades.

They started in the late 1990s with a mix of trance and progressive house, launching their own Anjunabeats label. The debut album 'Tri-State' set their melodic template, and later records like 'Group Therapy' continued it while bringing in different vocalists. Songs from 'Can't Sleep' to 'Chains' suggest they've kept that emotive core even as their style shifted.
