Above & Beyond to Mix Cream Ibiza 2012
Pin ItWorld clubbing super-brand Cream kicks off the summer season with a double CD and digital release, ‘Cream Ibiza‘ mixed by award-winning trio Above & Beyond.
As the longest running UK club night on the island, taking over Thursday nights, Cream Ibiza brings together the world’s top DJs and thousands of clubbers to the award-winning ‘World’s Best Club’ Amnesia. With mammoth weekly parties that will see Above & Beyond joined by the likes of Paul van Dyk, Eddie Halliwell, Calvin Harris, Sander van Doorn, Laidback Luke, Benny Benassi, Gareth Emery, Chris Lake and Example at the club this summer, Cream Ibiza has become an essential part of island life for dance music enthusiasts.
Described by DJ Mag as "the biggest electronic DJing and production collective the UK has ever produced", Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness and Paavo Siljamaki AKA Above & Beyond made an obvious choice for this year’s instalment of the Cream compilation series, following a year of sell out gigs on both sides of the Atlantic.
Producers, songwriters, DJs and owners of the renowned Anjunabeats label, Above & Beyond have remained down-to-earth and as determined as ever despite the numerous accolades, remixing greats like Madonna and Radiohead and selling out shows from Bombay to Brixton Academy. 2011 saw the release of their second studio album ‘Group Therapy‘. Described by Mixmag as "the artist album of the year", it topped the dance charts in both the UK and USA.
Above & Beyond also completed their second Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 last year and made history by winning Essential Mix Of The Year for the second time running – the only dance act to have done so. With an increasingly epic and immersive live DJ show, Above & Beyond are currently on their Group Therapy world tour, which has included sold out dates at LA’s Shrine, Miami’s 5,000-capacity Bayfront Amphitheatre and San Francisco Warfield, as well as two dates at the O2 Brixton Academy.
Now they are set to perform at Cream Ibiza this summer, headlining six dates through June to September. Whether you’re heading over to the White Isle or not, Above & Beyond’s ‘Cream Ibiza‘ mix is essential listening for the summer.
This year’s ‘Cream Ibiza‘ track listing perfectly reflects the ethos of Above & Beyond, taking in their biggest tried and tested tunes, fan favourites and exclusive new tracks – all guaranteed main room Ibiza material. Alongside hot tracks from the likes of Cosmic Gate, Dirty South, Kyau & Albert and Depeche Mode ‘Cream Ibiza‘ also features exclusive new mixes of Above & Beyond’s "Stealing Time" (from the critically acclaimed debut album ‘Tri-State‘) and "On My Way To Heaven", plus brand new remixes of Tranquillity Base (aka Above & Beyond) "Razorfish" by Jerome Isma-Ae and of the Above & Beyond and Andy Moor classic "Air For Life" by Norin & Rad.
