    Anjunabeats (/ænˈnəˌbts/, an-JOO-nə-beets) is a British record label started in 2000 by producers Jonathan "Jono" Grant and Paavo Siljamäki of Above & Beyond. Initially, Anjunabeats was only a trance music label, and it started releasing trance-edged house in 2011.[1] The name Anjuna comes from the name of a beach in Goa, India.[2]

    History

    In 2000, Anjunabeats released its first 12" record, titled Volume One, which was released under Grant and Siljamäki's alias Anjunabeats.

    Chakra's "Home" and formed Above & Beyond.[4]

    In 2005, Above & Beyond launched the sub-label Anjunadeep, aimed at releases that do not fit under the main label's trance focus, allowing more diversity within Anjunabeats.

    ]

    On 3 October 2017, Anjunabeats announced a collaboration with Beatport to host a production competition titled "Beats In School", in which the winner will earn a year-long mentorship with Anjunabeats artists.[7] Canadian Joel Freck was named as the winner on 10 January 2018, among 20 contest finalists.[8]

    In March 2018, Anjunabeats launched a 24/7 radio station on YouTube, which features tracks from their label discography including trance and deep house.[9]
