Earlier this year, Above & Beyond performed some of their best-loved songs acoustically as part of a 15-piece band, across four sold out shows at London’s famous Porchester Hall. The response from fans was overwhelming and led to two sold-out nights at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles in October, described by Billboard Magazine as “one of the finest and more memorable shows in EDM history.”
Above & Beyond partnered with THUMP on the production and filming of the London shows to create a concert film that captures the Porchester Hall performances and the story behind the acoustic project. The songs performed at Porchester Hall also form the basis of the “Above & Beyond Acoustic” studio album, which was recorded in the spring and summer of 2013 and features a 24-piece orchestra.

One of their best loved tracks, “Sun & Moon” tells the story of a bittersweet love affair and the pain and release of a couple’s break-up. The acoustic version re-imagines the now classic club track with a swelling orchestral arrangement and vocals from Alex Vargas.
The entire album will be available on Ultra/Anjunabeats on January 28. Pre-order the album now on iTunes and get an instant download of “Love Is Not Enough.” Pre-order also available on Anjunastore, as well as the Special Edition CD/DVD.
