Above & Beyond team up with PROFF on two-track EP ‘Palermo / Fractals.’
This EP sees label bosses Above & Beyond release an original mix on their own Anjunadeep imprint for the first time.
Tapping into their deeper side ahead of their rare headlining appearance at Anjunadeep Open Air London, the GRAMMY-nominated trio showcase their diversity with a marked departure from the high-tempo trance bangers that they’ve become known for.
PROFF saw his first Anjunadeep release back in 2008 and has been releasing on Monstercat, Melody Of The Soul, and SkyTop recently. His sets at the annual Anjunadeep Explorations festival in Albania have become fan favorite attractions, with the Russian producer consistently taking crowds on a hypnotic journey.
The opening track, ‘Palermo,’ is a summery and euphoric melodic house anthem, while ‘Fractals’ showcases PROFF’s mastery of organic house sounds and Above & Beyond’s melodic sensibility.
‘Palermo / Fractals’ is out now on Anjunadeep.
Above & Beyond, or Jono, Tony, and Paavo, as they are better known to their legions of fans around the world, have been at the forefront of electronic dance music for two decades.
Founders of the iconic Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep record labels and hosts of a weekly radio show that reaches millions of dance lovers every Friday (Group Therapy), the trio have earned two GRAMMY™️nominations for anthems ‘Northern Soul’ feat. Richard Bedford and We’re All We Need feat. Zoë Johnston. In 2018, the band’s fourth electronic album, Common Ground, debuted at number three on the Official Billboard Album Chart.
Described by UK music bible Q Magazine as “the world’s biggest cult band,” Above & Beyond’s enviable list of sold-out shows includes headline performances at historic venues like Madison Square Garden, NYC, The Hollywood Bowl, The Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall London, and Red Rocks Amphitheater, as well as record-breaking turnouts for their own festival events on LA’s Huntington Beach and at The Gorge Amphitheater in Washington State.
Songwriters first, producers second, Above & Beyond’s unwavering commitment to their craft has fuelled a career that many electronic artists today might only dream of: four acclaimed electronic studio albums, 16 compilation albums (Anjunabeats Volume series), two ‘acoustic’ albums, and a stand-alone album for yoga and meditation – not to mention innumerable club cuts and dance remixes.

PROFF
Music accompanies Vladimir Ershov (PROFF) his whole life. Since a very tender age, he was obtaining classical education at musical, variety art, and jazz schools as well as extra lessons in piano and saxophone mastership; sometime later, he discovered a new world of electronic sounds, which afterward entirely captured his mind. Experiments with the basic audio production software, loops, and sample libraries, purchase of the first synthesizer, and attention and support from fellows on the dance music scene took Vladimir closer to the fulfillment of his dream to become a professional DJ and producer with every next step.
A life-changing turning point for PROFF’s biography was his acquaintance with the Australian producer Jaytech in 2008, who introduced the works of the Russian fellow to the members of Above & Beyond trio. It was the start of a long-term and fruitful collaboration with the British label Anjunadeep, which blazed a trail for Vladimir’s music to the international market. Having gained support of top level names of the dance music industry like Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Kyau & Albert, Mat Zo, Super8 & Tab and Michael Cassette, today’s PROFF continues to summit new heights of an artist’s creative career. PROFF is justly considered as one of modern Russia’s most successful producers. Original productions, collective works and numerous remixes by PROFF have been repeatedly ranked in the Beatport Top 100.
