Above & Beyond – Another Angel (Official Video) [@anjunabeats]

This is a track by Above & Beyond, a UK-based trance music group.

It’s a song packed with the appeal of their sound, which has reigned over the trance scene since their formation in 2000.

They’ve garnered worldwide attention, embarking on world tours and performing at events in Japan.

Above & Beyond, Seven Lions feat. Opposite The Other ‘See The End’ (Official Music Video)

This is a collaboration track between the British trance musicians Above & Beyond and DJ Seven Lions.

It’s such a happy song—and a music video that really leaves an impression—that I feel grateful we can listen to their festival-igniting music here in Japan.

It’s a track that makes you want to get everyone together, hype up, and dance.

All Night (feat. Ally Brooke)Afrojack

Afrojack – All Night (feat. Ally Brooke) [Official Lyric Video]

His tracks are catchy and happy—perhaps a bit lacking in novelty, conversely—but this might be the kind of mood that defines a lowest-common-denominator anthem in club music.

In 2020, I have a feeling listeners will be split cleanly into “love it” or “hate it.” But that’s when you’re listening on earphones; I feel it’s an indispensable number for peak-time at a festival, like in the music video.

So, which side are you on?

Midnight (feat. Liam Payne)Alesso

Alesso – Midnight feat. Liam Payne (Performance Video)

Isn’t it a hit number born from the perfect match of the two artists’ strengths? The main hook features a beautiful melody that subtly evokes Laidback Luke and Afrojack’s classic “Ten Feet Tall.” If you like that, this one is a must-check as well.

It’s a sing-along hit starring One Direction member Liam Payne as the lead vocalist.

Alesso is widely praised for his knack for crafting tear-jerking, beautiful melodic lines.

Hear Me TonightAlok & THRDL!FE

Alok & THRDL!FE – Hear Me Tonight (Official Animated Video)

Alok is a Brazil-born DJ who enjoys worldwide popularity and ranks high in famous magazine DJ charts.

This work teams him up with THRDL!FE, the solo project of British producer Jake Brian Tench—two artists with strikingly unique styles.

Released in late April 2020, it’s an uptempo dance-pop track.

The music video is distinctive as well; the dolls, cars, and computers carried along on a conveyor belt seem almost satirical.

The video was overseen by film director Stefano Bertelli.

All Comes Down – Third Party RemixArmin van Buuren

All Comes Down (Third Party Remix)

This track is a collaboration between trance aristocrat and seasoned veteran Armin van Buuren and London’s popular duo Third Party.

They share a musical affinity for beautiful melodies, and it seems likely that mutual respect for each other’s taste led to this collaboration.

The progressive sound unique to their pairing creates a vibe that should hit the spot for fans of polished EDM.

The driving, fast-paced beat feels great too!

The hardstyle duo Da Tweekaz from Norway deliver an energy-packed track with “I Want It All.” Their signature hard-hitting rhythms and dynamic sound design drive listeners to a peak.

It’s guaranteed to light up the club scene.

The impactful melody will give the audience an unforgettable experience.

Last year, they delivered a stunning performance at the global music festival Tomorrowland, captivating everyone who watched.

A perfect pick when you want to get hyped!
