We’ve been blessed for a couple of week with this extremely sought-after Coachella ID.
The enduring Trance trio Above & Past have finished it once more. A month into the discharge of their newest (wonderful) album, Larger Than All Of Us, the membership combine of its title monitor, which options the voice of Digital music that’s Justine Suissa, has lastly come out. It’s mainly a wholly new music, for the reason that album model is a Downtempo piece, and this reimagination permits it to have the ability to shine at giant festivals.
And talking of enormous festivals, the membership combine was first showcased in the course of the band’s latest set at Coachella 2025 (the place all three boys carried out, thoughts you), and it shortly turned a fan favorite. Written with longtime collaborator Justine Suissa, additionally one-fourth of their golden mission OceanLab, the music was sparked by a set of chords found by Jono Grant throughout a studio session.
“Justine actually preferred and related with them”, Jono says. “She tends to put in writing fairly quick, and her phrases come collectively shortly”. This was some odd years in the past, and the music sat on a digital shelf someplace, till the album staff rediscovered it and noticed its worth. This staff included individuals comparable to Above & Past, Dave Dresden, and PROFF, amongst many others, so if these many heads align on an opinion, the monitor really had potential.
Residing in risky instances is nothing new, however I imagine that if we perceive the facility we wield as people, then possibly we will additionally respect the potential for effecting extraordinary change as a collective. If I will be instrumental in that change by way of a easy melody and a handful of phrases, then I’m grateful past measure. Being a songwriter is an unimaginable privilege, and so is working with Above & Past and with the ability to communicate to such a loving and receptive viewers.

Above & Past — Larger Than All Of Us (Membership Combine)
For what we all know, the membership mixture of this lovely music was born, partly, due to that Coachella gig. The concept of road-testing the reception of the thought of the title monitor made it a necessity to create a spin that might camouflage itself fairly properly on the dancefloor, therefore, this six-and-a-half-minute model got here to life.
We determined that ‘Larger Than All of Us’ can be the title monitor as a result of we thought it will join with followers in a form of traditional Above & Past sense, so although it’s a downtempo music, we wished to verify a model of it was within the Coachella set – so we made a membership combine for it that ended up being one of the highly effective moments within the set.

And morphing a Downtempo tune right into a membership surprise can be a tough activity usually, however not for A&B. Bathed of their standard dry, uneven saws theme they’ve been doing for the final years, the signature parts of the unique monitor are all current: the fragile melody, Justine’s calm, sincere voice, and the silence and stripped-back nature of the break is revered and preserved. However alongside it, there’s additionally one thing I don’t see individuals speaking about sufficient: a intelligent reference to ‘Prelude’, one of the lovely tracks ever produced by Above & Past. See for those who can spot it.
