Levente Márton surely better known as Sunny Lax was born on the 6th of August 1986 in Romania but has been living in Hungary since he was four years old. As a young thirteen year old Levente was a keen enthusiast when it came to making electronic music, and it was only a matter of time before the hobby that was became a full time profession. Soon he had gained all the experience necessary when it came to employing the latest production techniques, something he is now famed for. His hard work turned fruitful when he was seventeen as he entered for two major Hungarian remix competitions and as a result Sunny Lax the artist was born on the progressional circuit through the publishing of these mixes. His first success came in the year of 2005 after he sent his new track ”PUMA” to one of the infamous dance labels Anjunabeats. The trio that are Above & Beyond were so taken back by his demo that they play the record for weeks on end (and didn’t waste any time signing him up). As a result his first EP was released (which consisted of both PUMA and Cassiopeia) and within a short time everyone that mattered was in full support, including the world’s No. 1 DJ Armin van Buuren who made PUMA the Record Of The Week (and liked it so much it featured on Armin’s legendary ASOT Yearmix Album for 2005).Driven by the success of these records Levente soon started receiving remix requests from almost every major label in the dance music scene, averaging almost a mix a month. In addition his sets have featured on major radio networks, and he has been asked to play at many key clubs around the world. But most importantly, and the thing that has continued to drive him, has been the overwhelming support from his fans, and for Levente this is what makes it all worthwhile.Recently Levente has been busier than ever. He has gone onto create trance anthems like ”Blue bird”, ”Reborn”, ”Miquë” and ”Misgrey”, and continued to work with key labels such as Anjunabeats, Mondo, AVA Recordings and Deep Blue. At the same time he has continued to remix for all the biggest labels, and for leading artists in the scene such Above & Beyond, Super8 & Tab, Darren Tate, Lange, Daniel Kandi and Nitrous Oxide.Levente is currently hard at work in the studio working on his first major album.

First, thank you for taking the time to do this and giving us an opportunity to be a part of it! My friend Ryan and I recorded this mix of some of our favorite Anjuna jams over the years.

Ryan and I are from Southern California have known each other since we were 2 years old. Our parents are good friends and we used to hang out all the time. But we lived far from each other so as we got older we didn't get to see each other as often. After a few years we decided to link up. It was then that we discovered our mutual love for all things Above & Beyond.

I first got introduced to Above & Beyond at my first ever rave, EDC 2010 in LA. I was 17 years old, had never heard their music, and was blown away. You can guess the rest. Ryan was introduced to A&B during an impromptu trip to Vegas, when a promoter friend got them free entry to a club but didn't say anything about who'd be playing. Of course, we wouldn't be telling this story if Above & Beyond weren't playing that night. That night would go down in history as one of the best nights in his and his friends' lives. ABGT171 and ABGT172 were the soundtrack of the next several months.

Fast forward to now, we've been to countless shows together: EDC twice, ABGT250 at the Gorge, Anjunabeach, and pretty much every single Anjunabeats artist that comes to SoCal. We love to DJ and share our music with other people. That's why this opportunity seemed so cool to us.

We both got into DJing after experiencing our first festival and witnessing the energy that a DJ can bring to a crowd. We used to burn mix CDs for hundreds of our classmates and got experience playing house parties. I was the "resident DJ" of my fraternity. We do it for fun sometimes with just us 2. It's all about the music.

When an artist comes up as quickly as Paul Arcane, the trance world stops and listens. Gripped by his energetic, euphoric melodies, an eager fan base has answered with support from across the globe.

Paul Arcane’s tireless work ethic more than justifies his early success. In three short years he released an astounding 20+ songs on labels like Elliptical Sun Recordings and Enhanced Progressive. His meteoric trajectory has even registered on Above & Beyond’s radar. The iconic trio enlisted him to contribute a guest mix for an episode of their world-renowned radio show, Group Therapy.

Growing up in Viña del Mar, Chile posed unique career challenges for Paul Arcane. Dominated by styles other than trance, the city’s electronic music scene did not provide the ideal nightlife climate for a trance artist to thrive. Unrelenting, he was determined not to let it cloud his creative vision.

Shortly after debuting as a DJ in 2015, he began learning how to produce music. A natural from the get go, he honed his skills on a handful of remixes before his first label release. His rendition of Dennis Sheperd’s “Fight Your Fears” arrived by way of Black Hole Recordings sub label A Tribute To Life in 2016.

Paul Arcane passed another major milestone later that year. His first EP went by the title Renaissance / Vision and came out on Elliptical Sun Recordings. Not only did the release find its way onto Above & Beyond: Group Therapy (ABGT), but Armin van Buuren also supported it on his A State Of Trance (ASOT) radio show.

Between late 2016 and early 2018 he delivered a wealth of originals and remixes - not the least of which were his collaborations with Polish duo Sodality. Despite having been released far apart from one another, “Alpha,” “Beta” and “Gamma” each made for standout singles.

2018 marked the year that Paul Arcane truly came into his own as a world-class music producer. In addition to his highly anticipated ABGT guest mix, he made his Enhanced Progressive debut with a Dani Avramov collaboration titled “Glow.” He followed it up with his ASOT-supported single “Transcend,” and soon afterwards the aptly titled “Everest.” As one might expect, what seemed like a career peak (at the time he wrote the latter track) would soon be eclipsed by even greater accomplishments out on the horizon.

His determination to see every project through has earned Paul Arcane such an admirable résumé. Whereas a typical producer sits on countless works in progress, he adheres to a strict personal policy of finishing every song on which he starts working. At the core of his diligence lies the philosophy that the more we create the better our world will be, which he hopes to foster in everyone touched by his music.

Considering how much he’s accomplished in such a short span of time, a bright future awaits Paul Arcane indeed. However, as far as the trance community is concerned he’s already arrived.

My name is Mats from Sweden , 50 year old musicfreak jumping between genres but mostly Deep House, Progressive House and Ambient touching melodic trance/house. After 43 years of listening I decided to start mixing myself and is just in the beginning of an amazing adventure. I decided to Follow My Dreams with music and started travel to Anjuna events as they have an awesome community and fantastic people. After ABGT 300 and Anjunadeep Open Air Hong Kong i knew that I was on the right track.

My first loves were Warehouse and Progressive Trance back the early 90’s and Above and Beyond more specifically since 2001, Anjuna is my bloodline. The Anjuna family changed my life and the music rescued me. It’s inspiring to be part of a community that shares and supports the passion behind the music. It’s not just a sound, it’s a culture.   I started mixing in late 2018 and chose the name Niebo which means “heaven” in Polish. I want to take others on a euphoric journey in hopes to share the same feelings of joy and happiness I’ve experienced. My mixes are an expression of my emotions and I hope it inspires others.
