Anjunabeats ({{IPAc-en|æ|n|ˈ|dʒ|uː|n|ə|ˌ|b|iː|t|s}}, {{respell|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.Kate Wilson (27 April 2017). [https://www.straight.com/music/901966/above-beyond-led-label-anjunabeats-brings-its-showcase-vancouver "Above & Beyond–led label Anjunabeats brings its showcase to Vancouver"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170702071405/http://www.straight.com/music/901966/above-beyond-led-label-anjunabeats-brings-its-showcase-vancouver |date=2 July 2017 }}. The Georgia Straight. Retrieved 6 May 2017. The name Anjuna comes from the name of a beach in Goa, India.{{cite magazine |last1=Bain |first1=Katie |title=Label Spotlight: 20 Years Ago, a College Project Brought Anjunabeats to Life |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/anjunabeats-label-spotlight-9462672/ |magazine=Billboard |date=8 October 2020}}
History
In 2000, Anjunabeats released its first 12" record, titled Volume One, which was released under Grant and Siljamäki's alias Anjunabeats.{{cite web |url=https://open.spotify.com/album/2SFhPSu0wyGWptonmsC08g |title=Volume One by Anjunabeats on Spotify |website=Apple Music |access-date=11 May 2020 |archive-date=12 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200812193030/https://open.spotify.com/album/2SFhPSu0wyGWptonmsC08g |url-status=live }} As the label got the name Anjunabeats, they decided to produce under different aliases, such as Free State and Dirt Devils. They were soon joined by Tony McGuinness in 2000 after he was asked to collaborate on a remix of Chakra's "Home" and formed Above & Beyond.{{Cite web|date=2012-07-19|title=Above & Beyond|url=https://www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com/aznightlife/above-beyond/|access-date=2021-04-18|website=Nightlife|language=en-US|archive-date=18 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210418212613/https://www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com/aznightlife/above-beyond/|url-status=live}}
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.{{Cite magazine|title=Anjunadeep: The Tastemaking Dance Label With 'Down to Earth' Fans|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/8549685/anjunadeep-dance-label-interview-james-grant|date=6 February 2020|magazine=Billboard|access-date=26 May 2020|archive-date=14 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200214114434/https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/8549685/anjunadeep-dance-label-interview-james-grant|url-status=live}}
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.{{Cite web |url=http://www.dancingastronaut.com/2017/10/anjunabeats-beatport-announce-contest-search-young-coming-dj-producer/ |title=Anjunabeats and Beatport announce contest in search of young up-and-coming producer |last=Bagshaw |first=Bella |date=3 October 2017 |website=Dancing Astronaut |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180311073544/http://www.dancingastronaut.com/2017/10/anjunabeats-beatport-announce-contest-search-young-coming-dj-producer/ |archive-date=11 March 2018 |url-status=live |access-date=11 March 2018}} Canadian Joel Freck was named as the winner on 10 January 2018, among 20 contest finalists.{{Cite web |url=http://www.dancingastronaut.com/2018/01/anjunabeats-beatport-name-new-beats-school-winner/ |title=Anjunabeats and Beatport name new Beats In School winner |last=Dexter |first=Robyn |date=10 January 2018 |website= Dancing Astronaut |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180311073631/http://www.dancingastronaut.com/2018/01/anjunabeats-beatport-name-new-beats-school-winner/ |archive-date=11 March 2018 |access-date=11 March 2018}}
