May 3rd 2013 is a date that the global EDM movement won’t easily forget. Two years after the glow of the ‘Mirage’ album hit the scene, it’s time for a new light to shine. An intense light, coming to you in 15 extraordinary compositions, musical fusions and hymns. ‘Intense’ is the fifth artist album of the world’s number one DJ, and the follow-up to the successful ‘76’, ‘Shivers’, ‘Imagine’ and ‘Mirage’ albums. Armin van Buuren now proudly presents its official tracklist, revealing all its jewels and talented, collaborative artists.

Silk Royal Showcase 01 represents the sound of progressive label Silk Royal Records, as well as the weekly radio show and podcast that give the compilation its name. Jacob Henry, label manager of Silk Royal Records and one of four Silk Royal Showcase radio show co-hosts (along with Schodt, Ad Brown, & Zack Roth), has compiled and mixed the first of two discs. Tom Fall, the acclaimed Finnish artist and frequent Silk Royal contributor, has mixed the second. As we celebrate our third anniversary as a label collective, Silk Music would also like to take this opportunity to thank our fans for their tremendous support.

It was way back in the year 2000 when Above & Beyond's Anjunabeats label put out their first release - a production from the label bosses themselves that became an underground hit. While thousands of other labels have come and gone in the 12 years since, Anjunabeats now stands tall as one of the world’s most respected and consistent electronic music labels, responsible for nurturing a wide range of talents, from the UK hotshot Mat Zo, to the Russian phenomenon Arty and the eclectic Andrew Bayer.
It is this renowned commitment to A&R and quality control that shines out in the landmark 10th edition of Above & Beyond’s label showcase series. On "Anjunabeats Volume 10", Above & Beyond present 30 exclusive and largely unreleased tracks from over 20 artists who make up their diverse and talented label family.
Covering the best in modern progressive, trance and big room club sounds, Anjunabeats Volume 10 includes four exclusive Above & Beyond productions (including a brand new instrumental club track from the trio), as well as unreleased material from artists Arty, Andrew Bayer, Norin & Rad, Super8 & Tab, Boom Jinx, Maor Levi, Kyau & Albert and many more.
"Anjunabeats Volume 10" is the latest landmark for Above & Beyond. In the past 18 months, the London-based trio have become the only act to win the prestigious BBC Radio 1 'Essential Mix Of The Year' for the second time, as well as being the only act to grace the front covers of both Mixmag and DJ Mag within the same period. With a non-stop global touring schedule, they have sold out two consecutive shows at the legendary Brixton Academy and 15,000 tickets in Los Angeles, over three consecutive nights at The Shrine. This in addition to hosting their own 'Group Therapy' stages at New York's Electric Zoo Festival and Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas. Their upcoming show in New York City's Roseland Ballroom scheduled for February 16, sold out in less than 3 hours. Full line-up will be Above & Beyond, Andrew Bayer, Norin & Rad and Beckwith.

Withstanding the test of time, it’s the sounds of German producer York that will once again reign supreme. More than 20 years after he found a passion to live for, Torsten Stenzel still has the same, relentless stamina for music. The mastermind behind classics such as ‘The Awakening’, ‘On The Beach’ and ‘Addicted’ proudly presents ‘Islanders’. The brand new York album that’ll show you that this pioneer still knows how to walk today’s musical landscape.
York was one of the first names to adopt the trance sound. In the early 90’s, he worked on projects such as Taucher, DJ Sakin & Friends and Suspicious, selling over 3 million records and earning 10 Gold and Platinum Awards with his sales. Completing his dream, was the launch of his very own Planet Love Records. Set up in 1992, it kick-started a new era for EDM and became a realm for those in search of quality music. In November 2011, Planet Love joined forces with Armada Music, offering a great opportunity for York to enjoy a fresh start. And so he did.
Riding his typical and timeless sound, known for its breath-taking melodies, deep bass and enchanting vocals, ‘Islanders’ brings out a full-colour reflection of what York is all about. A sound eclectic, touching the edges of Balearic chill-out, while moving you with slick progressive and warm, trancy beats. Taking you in and rushing over, is exactly what ‘Islanders’ does.
