There is an ID - ID on Pure Trance Radio Episode 428. Rich said that it will be released on January. I think it's a track in his forever upcoming new Solarstone album.

Starts at 58:42




*Updated (thanks to @Mikey )

It's the first track of 2025 Anjunabeats by Oliver Smith as a tradition, sounds good.

Starts at 58:11

This is Oliver Smith & Tailor - Rely On Me. Was played on Above & Beyond’s ABGT600 Deep set. Likely first Anjuna release of 2025 since that’s normally the tradition with Ollie🙂
I think that there are some difference between the audio in Pure Trance Radio and ABGT600. I more like the version in Pure Trance Radio, maybe Rich sped it up for a little.

The version on Pure Trance Radio sounds speeded up too much. ABGT600 version sounds like the proper version. Anyway, really nice tune from Oliver Smith & Tailor.

Can confirm the slower version is the correct tempo :)

Also as a side note, This will be the first release with the new cover art for Anjunabeats as the label is rebranding to celebrate 25 years of Anjuna. I have seen it but haven't got a high quality pic yet but will post it when I do, but If you liked the old artwork style then you're in for a pleasant surprise! (I remember @Magdelayna wasn't a fan of the font on the current ones too so hopefully he'll be happy to hear this 😂) :)

New covers of Anjunadeep and Anjunachill (Reflections before), the Anjunadeep cover returns to 10 years ago surprisingly. As ABGT played Rely On Me last week, I think it will be released this Friday.

Yes,covers look a lot cleaner and not using a font that 5 year old created haha...
And that cover is almost 10 years old, not 5 years old. The last old cover is Arty & Andrew Bayer - Follow The Light, released at 2016.7.9

Oliver Smith & Tailor release ‘Rely On Me’, out now on Anjunabeats.

As Anjunabeats’ first signing and one of the label’s oldest and dearest friends, Oliver Smith has amassed over 20 million streams across his entire catalogue. In 2018, he mixed the Anjunabeats Worldwide 08 compilation; featuring ten of his own tracks, which hit the #1 spot on the iTunes dance chart in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and more.

Last year, Oliver released the ‘Be Kind Rewind’ EP in collaboration with fellow label linchpin Andrew Bayer, which totalled over 2 million streams, earning support from the likes of Jason Ross, Ruben De Ronde and Tritonal. The EP also saw large radio support, including Ben Malone on KISS FM and Armin van Buuren on A State Of Armin (SiriusXM). Oliver also joined Anjunabeats on the After Dark North America tour, playing in Seattle, Boston and Toronto, as well as playing alongside Cosmic Gate at Dream Scape in Hanoi.

Hailing originally from South Africa and now based in the UK, singer-songwriter Rob Taylor, known as Tailor, has collaborated with a vast array of artists. Recently, he joined forces with This Never Happened’s label curator Lane 8 on ‘Wake Up’, featured on their ‘Childish’ album, as well as artists such as Le Youth, Braxton, My Friend, Simon Doty, Nu Age, KC Lights, KSHMR, Marnik, MØ, LA Vision, Cosmos Midnight and more.

Out today :)

The visual rebrand is nice, but I'm not sure why everyone (on the A&B subreddit at least) seems to be raving about this. It's okay. The vocals are commercial as hell :/

Lovely and a great follow up to 'Everything' which is was wonderful too
What are you on? Or just being sarcastic? Btw its fine to like this people can like what they want. Its not terrible by any means but its veeery mid, very safe, commercial trancy moder anjuna """""""prog"""""".

What happened with O.smith? Wasnt he a mastermind in writing emotive profound melodic trance journeys once?? I dont hear even a hint of that anymore, sadly.

Same thing that happened to every Anjuna artist of the 2000s. Whatever that may have been.

I've grown much more lenient towards anjuna 'easy' stuff in recent years.. they manage to tick my boxes somehow

I accept the tune for what it is, makes me feel good so fits the ABGT branding well imho :)
