We’ve been blessed for a couple of week with this extremely sought-after Coachella ID.
The enduring Trance trio Above & Past have carried out it once more. A month into the discharge of their newest (glorious) album, Greater Than All Of Us, the membership combine of its title observe, which options the voice of Digital music that’s Justine Suissa, has lastly come out. It’s mainly a wholly new tune, because the album model is a Downtempo piece, and this reimagination permits it to have the ability to shine at massive festivals.
And talking of huge festivals, the membership combine was first showcased throughout the band’s latest set at Coachella 2025 (the place all three boys carried out, thoughts you), and it rapidly grew to become a fan favorite. Written with longtime collaborator Justine Suissa, additionally one-fourth of their golden venture OceanLab, the tune was sparked by a set of chords found by Jono Grant throughout a studio session.
“Justine actually preferred and linked with them”, Jono says. “She tends to jot down fairly quick, and her phrases come collectively rapidly”. This was some odd years in the past, and the tune sat on a digital shelf someplace, till the album group rediscovered it and noticed its worth. This group included folks similar to Above & Past, Dave Dresden, and PROFF, amongst many others, so if these many heads align on an opinion, the observe really had potential.
Dwelling in risky instances is nothing new, however I imagine that if we perceive the facility we wield as people, then possibly we are able to additionally respect the potential for effecting extraordinary change as a collective. If I may 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 — Greater Than All Of Us (Membership Combine)
For what we all know, the membership mixture of this stunning tune was born, partially, due to that Coachella gig. The concept of road-testing the reception of the concept of the title observe made it a necessity to create a spin that will camouflage itself fairly properly on the dancefloor, therefore, this six-and-a-half-minute model got here to life.
We determined that ‘Greater Than All of Us’ can be the title observe as a result of we thought it might join with followers in a form of basic Above & Past sense, so although it’s a downtempo tune, we wished to ensure a model of it was within the Coachella set – so we made a membership combine for it that ended up being one of the vital highly effective moments within the set.

And morphing a Downtempo tune right into a membership marvel can be a tough process usually, however not for A&B. Bathed of their ordinary dry, uneven saws theme they’ve been doing for the final years, the signature parts of the unique observe 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 folks speaking about sufficient: a intelligent reference to ‘Prelude’, one of the vital stunning tracks ever produced by Above & Past. See in case you can spot it.
