Above & Beyond's Top 20 2006

Well, the results are in. Trance Around The World #144 was Above & Beyond's Top 20 of 2006 show, and I'll be honest, the results are a little questionable! This year's chart is dominated with bzzt-basslines and 8-bit techno-trance, and it's the kind of stuff that, although I appreciate at times, just doesn't do anything like what proper trance does for me.

With no sign of Daniel Kandi's "Child", Evbointh's "One Wish", Sunny Lax's "M.I.R.A.", Mike Shiver's "Morning Drive"... is this a reflection of the direction of future A&B sets and signings? Is Anjunabeats as we know it over? I can only hope not. Tracks like the A&B Club Mix of "Good For Me" give me a glimmer of hope, but only time will tell!

Regardless of my disagreement with the #1 choice, here's to another successful year for Above & Beyond and Anjunabeats in 2007. Thanks for the tunes and the memories, guys! :)
