The recent ABGT700 milestone celebration at The Gorge Amphitheatre was an unforgettable experience, though not entirely for the reasons organizers intended. While the weekend was a massive success for the Anjunafamily, Mother Nature intervened on Saturday, forcing a three-hour production halt due to dangerous wind conditions. This disruption unfortunately led to the cancellation of sets from J Ribbon and ilan Bluestone, while Oliver Smith\u2019s performance was significantly truncated.<\/p>\n
\nRather than leaving the narrative of the weekend defined by the weather, the team at Anjunabeats has orchestrated a creative solution. To ensure the artists who missed their moment in the spotlight get the stage they deserve, the label has announced ABGT700.2<\/strong>. <\/p>\n This intimate, 700-capacity event is scheduled for October 29 at the iconic 26 Leake Street venue in London. The lineup features the three artists impacted by the Washington weather: Oliver Smith, J Ribbon, and ilan Bluestone.<\/p>\n \nThe scheduling of this London showcase is far from coincidental. By hosting the event the night before the official 700th episode of Group Therapy Radio<\/em> airs, the organizers have found a way to weave these performances directly into the milestone broadcast. Recordings from the London gig will be integrated into the ABGT700 celebration, effectively turning a logistical hurdle into a unique, multi-continental experience for the global fanbase.<\/p>\n \nSince its inception in 2011, Group Therapy Radio<\/em> has evolved into a cornerstone of the electronic music landscape. It serves as a vital platform for the trance and progressive house genres, consistently acting as a springboard for emerging talent on the Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep imprints. <\/p>\n Reaching the 700-episode mark is a rare feat in the fast-paced world of dance music media. To put this longevity into perspective, the show has outlasted countless digital trends and industry shifts, maintaining a weekly presence that few other radio institutions can claim. By prioritizing the artists who were sidelined at The Gorge, Above & Beyond continues to demonstrate the community-first ethos that has kept their radio show relevant for over a decade.<\/p>\nStrategic Timing and Global Integration<\/h3>\n
