Letting Go

Released in late 2025, 'Letting Go' serves as a comprehensive single-focused EP that showcases Above & Beyond's collaborative approach to modern trance. The package is anchored by their own 'Club Mix,' which utilizes their signature 'wall of sound' production - a technique involving dense layering of sawtooth leads and lush pads to create a sense of overwhelming sonic scale. This specific release is notable for its inclusion of Rinzen and Drove, artists who bring a more contemporary, underground edge to the trio's established sound. Rinzen’s contribution, in particular, signals a move toward 'cinematic techno,' a subgenre that favors atmosphere and tension over the traditional trance crescendo. The EP functions as a bridge between the group's legacy of vocal-led progressive trance and the evolving landscape of melodic house and techno. Critically, it represents the band's ability to maintain a central narrative of vulnerability and hope while allowing external producers to deconstruct and reassemble their emotional DNA for different club environments.
