Came here to mention that! I skimmed over it the first time! Also, are we getting 20 mix CDs from different Anjuna artists, followed by some sort of comp with new music? That’s what I’ve gathered from Gareth’s comments on Reddit. It will be interesting to see who mixes those. Idk if we’ll get CDs for these, but it sounds like we’ll be getting 20 mixes from 20 artists. Reading Ollie’s description, sounds like these mixes will be the retrospective part of the celebration, as it says Ollie picked his favorite tracks for his. And then at the end we get a huge one from A&B. I think it’d be cool if they released these all as a huge box set but that might be a bit too pricy for them to accomplish. CD was a slip of the tongue. Old person alert over here, haha

First thing I did was scan for Naked too! Gareth responded to me on Reddit: It bothers me slightly when Anjuna tries to correct people on this being that they literally ID'd this as an A&B Club Mix when it was played at 300. They should probably change that then if they don't want people calling it a Club Mix. Its on their official Youtube page and Spotify as what? A Club Mix, not an extended mix. From Gareth “ That probably was scribbled together on a piece of paper 10 mins before we went on air and haven't thought about it since ” I really don’t think it’s that bad, especially when you consider an intern probably uploaded them. Please remember that with everything Anjuna, all things are subject to change

My thoughts on these mixes (assuming we don’t get any new tracks with them): I look at these less as presents now, and more things for us to look back on when we’re nostalgiac in another 10 years. Yeah any bedroom DJ could easily make the same mix but you could say the same thing about DJ sets too. Sometimes it’s just cool to hear your favorite artist mix some of their favorite tunes.

Good point. I also do like the tracklist for Ollie's as it mixes old and new which is something I've been wanting to see more of. There have been a couple of random mixes from Anjuna like the United Colors of Anjunabeats from 2012 that really stood out for me. So the way you put it does make it sound like something that can be appreciated even though it's not what I expected.

I think Gareths post sums it up pretty nicely reddit.com/r/AboveandBeyond/comments/gnvkjp/_/frc3gim/?context=1And realistically, I’m sure at least a few of these mixes will have unreleased songs! Ollie is probably saving all his new stuff for his album This is also another good reason for these comps: reddit.com/r/AboveandBeyond/comments/gnvkjp/_/frcsj9s/?context=1

Yeah, that one definitely got me excited for this a lot more.

Problem with seeing tracklists for mixes beforehand is, everyone judges immediately without even hearing it. I’m guilty of it too but trying my best these days to stay neutral until I listen at least Plus I think most of us have pre-conceived ideas of what we’d like for a Best of Anjuna 20 years mix. Oli’s looks a bit all over the place just seeing the track names but I’ll judge when I listen to it fully. I’ll listen with open ears 😃

Oli’s looks a bit all over the place just seeing the track names but I’ll judge when I listen to it fully. I’ll listen with open ears 😃 Guilty here also - in some ways, given the rise of online streaming, they could have had each artist mix their tunes live so it would have been a live experience with no tracklist available before, which could then be uploaded to Spotify, etc. Might have added a little extra magic for those able to listen live, but obviously not all producers are DJs and there may be other challenges I'm not thinking of in the here-and-now. On reflection (and having read Gareth's comments), I think I was harsh in saying I was underwhelmed thus far...the 20 mixes hearing what Anjuna means to each artist will be something we can look back on, and I think we should all remember that everyone (Anjuna included) are working through some incredibly hard and challenging times right now and so I'm more appreciative of everything they're putting out. Expect there's going to be lots more to come, and I wonder what they're going to do about ABGT 400 now that it's not going to be possible to host in person (or, at best, highly unlikely without a vaccine...)

You definitely gonna think about how much the quarantine has put a damper on celebrations. By now, I’m sure we would’ve had ABGT400 news as well as more big event & touring news that would’ve coincided with the celebration. Let’s hope they take some of those great ideas they had and use them next year instead

Can I just say how hard it is to pick a 1 hour mix of tunes from the past 20 years? Thought I'd try and do my own list this evening, however by the time I reached the end of 2011 I already had more than an hour and cutting things down to 1 hour (10-12 tracks) feels insanely hard. When I actually manage to finish I'll share...

There are quite a few tracks or should I say remixes, that are cropping up on various sets and mixes. I think there is a high possibility that some of them will be featured on the last 20 celebration compilation, or whatever A&B is planning in terms of the new material.
Just to name a few
Jaytech - Tigerlily (CAAVA Remix), I also like Paul Arcane version but seems like we are only getting CAAVA remix Above & Beyond - Homecoming (Enamour Remix) Above & Beyond ft. Richard Bedford - Sun & Moon (Dash Berlin Remix) not sure about the proper release of this one though Frost - Overtones (PROFF Remix) Above & Beyond ft. Marty Longstaff - Flying by Candlelight (PROFF Remix) Above & Beyond - Liquid Love (Maor Levi 2019 Mix) or whatever it is the called. His ABGT350 version Above & Beyond ft. Zoë Johnston - Good For Me (ALPHA 9 Remix) ALPHA 9 ft. Kameron Alexander - Before The Dawn (Grum Remix)
There are probably some other tracks, but these are what I remembered from the top of my head.

There’s a Paul Arcane mix of Tigerlily? Would love to hear that (or see him on Anjuna).

A few of these already popped up in June’s release schedule. Definitely can’t see the PROFF remix of Overtones being on a 20 years of Beats compilation.

Well, I've posted before it was announced ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And ye I'll agree that something like Overtones remix is likely going to be a standalone release.

So I've been thinking on my list (trying to keep it to 12-13 tracks as Ollie did) and having done so it's startling, to me at least, to see how my top tracks reflects my overall engagement with the label. A lot of tracks from 2005-2011, and then only three tracks (out of 12) from 2011-2020 with none in the 2012-2014 period where (for me) the label really went off the rails a bit.
Gonna see if I can get Traktor working so i can try to mix it all together, if not will just post my list later. Interested to hear if anyone else has done the same exercise and has done their own mix/list
