The EP series' name references A&B’s beloved Tranquility Base alias, which was revered for contributing to the trance genre, including iconic records such as ‘Surrender,’ ‘Oceanic,’ and ‘Razorfish.’
Following the enormous success of Volume 1, with EP singles ‘Angry JP8’ and ‘500’, both hitting Beatport Trance #1, Above & Beyond are back with the second set of five club-dominating instrumental records.
Above & Beyond’s ‘React,’ the bassline-heavy single from ‘Tranquility Base Vol. 2’, was released on November 1. The second single, a euphoric classic trance track titled ‘Another Breakdown,’ was released on November 20.
The full EP arrives after debuting worldwide at Above & Beyond Group Therapy 600 in Mexico City, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and the Dreamstate SoCal festival.
The EP features three additional tracks: ‘Hackney Siren,’ an electric melting pot of trance, acid, and breakbeat layered with piano chords reminiscent of 90s piano house; ‘From Grey To Light,’ another experimental production from the trio featuring trippy acid baselines and layers of piano chords, and ‘Chasing Highs,’ a classic trance track that delivers the sound reminiscent of the early 2000s club era.
‘Tranquility Base Vol. 2’ EP is out now on Anjunabeats.
