Above & Beyond on House Party Radio

One of the most successful trance acts of the 2000s and 2010s, Above & Beyond are a British trio known for their production and remix work, as well as their DJ performances and record label. Founded in 2000 in London, the trio is comprised of Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness, and Paavo Siljamaki. Although they garnered early acclaim for a high-profile remix of Madonna's "What It Feels Like for a Girl," Above & Beyond experienced a steady ascent as producers and as a live act. They eventually graduated to selling out venues in their native U.K. and the U.S. After breaking into the mainstream in 2015 with their third studio album, We Are All We Need, they scored a Top Three U.S. hit with 2018's Common Ground.

Prior to founding Above & Beyond, Grant and Siljamaki met at the University of Westminster and founded the Anjunabeats label. Shortly afterward, they met McGuinness, teamed up as Above & Beyond, and did a remix for Chakra's "Home." One remix led to another, culminating in 2001 with an attention-getting remix of Madonna's "What It Feels Like for a Girl." Other early Above & Beyond remixes of note include Aurora's "Ordinary World," Fragma's "Everytime You Need Me," and Perpetuous Dreamer's "The Sound of Goodbye." As a DJ act, Above & Beyond made their debut in 2002 and steadily worked their way up into the Top Ten of the much-touted DJ Mag Top 100 poll.
