Mother Nature had other plans for the festivities, as intense wind gusts necessitated a three-hour safety pause on Saturday. This disruption unfortunately led to the truncation of Oliver Smith\u2019s performance and the complete cancellation of sets from ilan Bluestone and J Ribbon.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Anjunabeats team is ensuring these artists get the spotlight they deserve. In a move to rectify the situation, the label has unveiled &#8220;ABGT700.2,&#8221; an intimate, 700-capacity event scheduled for October 29 at the iconic 26 Leake Street venue in London.<\/p>\n<p>#### Turning Setbacks into Milestones<br \/>\nThis makeup show is strategically timed to occur just 24 hours before the official 700th episode of *Group Therapy Radio* airs. By hosting this event, the organizers are not only providing a platform for the artists who missed out at The Gorge but are also integrating these live recordings directly into the landmark 700th broadcast. It is a creative solution that transforms a weather-related disappointment into a unique, high-energy chapter of the show\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>#### The Legacy of Group Therapy Radio<br \/>\nSince its inception in 2011, *Group Therapy Radio* has cemented itself as a cornerstone of the electronic music landscape. Much like a long-running television drama that continues to evolve, the show has maintained its relevance by consistently acting as a primary discovery hub for emerging talent within the Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep rosters. <\/p>\n<p>Reaching 700 episodes is a rare feat in the fast-paced world of dance music. To put this longevity into perspective, the show has been broadcasting weekly for over 13 years-a duration that has seen the rise and fall of countless sub-genres, yet *Group Therapy* remains a consistent beacon for trance and progressive house enthusiasts worldwide. This upcoming London showcase serves as a testament to the brand&#8217;s commitment to its community and its artists, ensuring that the spirit of the celebration remains intact despite the challenges faced in Washington.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"echo_read_more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edmtunes.com\/2026\/09\/above-beyond-abgt700-2\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=above-beyond-abgt700-2\" target=\"_blank\"> \u00bb More Info >>><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Above &amp; Beyond are hitting the reset button.
