Anjunabeats (/ænˈdʒuːnəˌbiːts/, an-JOO-nə-beets) is a British record label started in 2000 by producers Jonathan "Jono" Grant and Paavo Siljamäki of Above & Beyond. Initially, Anjunabeats was only a trance music label, and it started releasing trance-edged house in 2011.[1] The name Anjuna comes from the name of a beach in Goa, India.[2]

History
In 2000, Anjunabeats released its first 12" record, titled Volume One, which was released under Grant and Siljamäki's alias Anjunabeats.[3] As the label got the name Anjunabeats, they decided to produce under different aliases, such as Free State and Dirt Devils. They were soon joined by Tony McGuinness in 2000 after he was asked to collaborate on a remix of Chakra's "Home" and formed Above & Beyond.[4]
In 2005, Above & Beyond launched the sub-label Anjunadeep, aimed at releases that do not fit under the main label's trance focus, allowing more diversity within Anjunabeats.[5]
On 3 October 2017, Anjunabeats announced a collaboration with Beatport to host a production competition titled "Beats In School", in which the winner will earn a year-long mentorship with Anjunabeats artists.[6] Canadian Joel Freck was named as the winner on 10 January 2018, among 20 contest finalists.[7]
In March 2018, Anjunabeats launched a 24/7 radio station on YouTube, which features tracks from their label discography including trance and deep house.[8]
