Anjunabeats (/ænˈdʒuːnəbiːts/ 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 started releasing trance-edged house in 2011. The name Anjuna comes from the name of a beach in Goa, India.

History

In 2000, Anjunabeats released its first 12\" record, titled Volume One, which was released under Grant and Siljamäki\'s alias Anjunabeats. 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.

In 2005, Above & Beyond launched the sub-label Anjunadeep aimed at releases that don\'t fit under the main label\'s trance focus, allowing more diversity within Anjunabeats. The trio also launched two other sub-labels, Anjunadigital that deals with special remixes and releases of Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep tracks, and Hard On Recordings that was active from 2000 to 2004 and focused on hard trance and hard house.

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. Canadian Joel Freck was named as the winner on 10 January 2018, among 20 contest finalists.

In March 2018, Anjunabeats launched a 24/7 radio station on YouTube, which features tracks from their label discography including trance and deep house.
