Tuesday Tunes: Above and Beyond Trance Around the World
Since musicians routinely travel on extensive world-tours, often their international exploits are forgotten in a flurry of planes, hotel rooms, and dark concert halls.
But in this digital age, musicians are getting more creative at showcasing their life on the road and touring experiences to their fans. For instance, the trance DJs Above and Beyond recently caught our eye for their impressive, encyclopedic web series to their fans. In total, they've made more that 300 episodes and reached over 21 million people around the world from their web series. Whether you are a trance fan or not, you can appreciate those stats.
Why is it so popular? Below is a sample episode, in which the DJs give an unique glimpse at China - including impressive funny kareoke experiences, impressive green terrain, big buildings, as well plenty of footage of glow-stick toting crowds making the floor shake with their enthusiasm at night:
Plus, in celebration of their 300th episode, they issued the global message of thanks below:
This all coincides with their new album Anjunabeats Vol 7, but damn, it makes you want to join a band, or a traveling circus really bad.
(Ps Up next? They are ringing in New Years in LA, and then afterwards continuing the party in SF.)
