What Anjunabeats does

Anjunabeats is a privately-held electronic dance music record label founded in 2000 in London by the members of Above & Beyond — Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness, and Paavo Siljamäki — and operated through the parent entity Involved Productions Ltd. The label operates three imprints under the Anjuna brand umbrella: Anjunabeats (trance and progressive), Anjunadeep (deep and progressive house), and Anjunachill (ambient and downtempo). Its core product is music released digitally and on vinyl/CD across all major streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, Tidal, SoundCloud, Beatport), augmented by the Anjunabeats Volume compilation series that has run since 2003, Group Therapy Radio (a weekly show reaching millions), and the ABGT live event series anchored at venues like The Gorge Amphitheatre.

The label's technology stack is a conventional record-label platform — built on the Ochre CMS — combining owned e-commerce storefronts (UK Anjuna Music Store and US Anjunastore) with third-party DSP distribution, Bandsintown for ticketing, StreamPush for 24/7 radio, and curated playlists across platforms. Its differentiating asset is not technology but the Anjunafamily community ecosystem: a multi-channel engagement network spanning YouTube (2M+ subscribers on Above & Beyond), TikTok, Instagram, Discord, Twitch, Snapchat, and email, coordinated around live events and a Rising Residency program for emerging artists.

Anjunabeats monetizes across four revenue streams: music sales and streaming royalties (digital downloads at $2.99-$11.99, vinyl at $25.99-$33.99, CD at $12.99+), direct-to-consumer merchandise ($15-$140+ for apparel, accessories, homeware), sync and licensing for film/TV/advertising, and live events and touring through Above & Beyond and label artists. GTM is event-driven and community-led: major festival bookings at EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland, Creamfields, and ÎléSoniq drive merchandise, streaming, and ticket revenue, while newsletter-driven DTC sales and 10% new-subscriber discounts fuel the consumer funnel. Primary customers are global electronic dance music enthusiasts and festival promoters; media/advertising sync is a secondary B2B segment.
