From underground darling to global powerhouse Anjunadeep is now rewriting the rulebook on artist development nearly two decades after its inception.
As Above & Beyond‘s influential deep house brand launches its new incubator imprint, Anjunadeep Explorations, the question isn’t whether they’ll find the next big thing—it’s how many they’ll uncover.
The new label will “focus on unearthing the next generation of electronic music talent” in addition to releasing music by established artists under the Anjuna family tree, per a press release. It’s the fourth imprint to launch following Anjunabeats, Anjunadeep and Reflections.
Anjunadeep Explorations will drop new tracks on a weekly basis, according to Label Director Dom Donnelly. He says they already have “some amazing music” in the pipeline from Chris Luno, Klur, LAR, Mona Vale, Omfeel and Parallel Voices, among others rising stars.

Anjunadeep Explorations is an expansion of the EP series of the same name, which comprised 25 released from 2016 to 2023 and catalyzed the launch of a destination festival experience along the Albanian Riviera.
“The Explorations EP series has been such an important breeding ground for new Anjunadeep talent over the past eight years,” said Anjunadeep co-founder James Grant. “Over 25 EPs it has given us a platform to introduce acts like Ben Böhmer, Marsh, Luttrell and many more who have gone on to become integral members of our label family. With the series now evolving into a dedicated label, I’m excited to keep uncovering new talent and welcoming the future stars of Anjunadeep.”
Scheduled for July 12th, the imprint’s first release is a limited run of hand-stamped, 12″ white label vinyl comprising six tracks. Digital releases of each single will follow.
