British electronic group Above & Beyond have once again teamed up with esteemed vocalist Richard Bedford on their latest track "Heart Of Stone," reviving a partnership that has delivered numerous hits over the years. The song, which debuted at the Group Therapy 500 celebrations in Los Angeles last year, has quickly become a fan favorite.
"Heart Of Stone" has made its rounds in the EDM circuit, captivating audiences at major events like EDC Las Vegas and the Group Therapy Weekender at the Gorge Amphitheater. Its release is timely as Above & Beyond gears up for their milestone Group Therapy 600 celebration, set to take place this October in Mexico City's Hipódromo de las Américas. This event marks a significant return, being the first Group Therapy event held in Mexico and the first major celebration since the sold-out ABGT500 in Los Angeles, which saw a global audience of 300,000 people via livestream.
Jono, Tony, and Paavo, the trio behind Above & Beyond, are not just pioneers in the electronic music scene but also founders of the influential Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep labels. Their weekly radio show, Group Therapy, reaches millions each Friday, further cementing their place in the dance music elite. Their success is underscored by two Grammy nominations for the tracks "Northern Soul" and "We're All We Need," both featuring another collaboration with Richard Bedford.
The group's historical impact is vast, with sold-out performances at some of the world’s most iconic venues, including Madison Square Garden, the Sydney Opera House, and the Royal Albert Hall. They've also headlined major events at The Gorge Amphitheater in Washington and LA's Huntington Beach, showcasing their broad appeal.
