How Does It Feel on Blue Monday?
Above & Beyond ask âhow does it feel?â with a cover of New Order classic, âBlue Mondayâ
Few tracks capture the indie-electronic spirit that inspires Above & Beyond quite like New Orderâs iconic single from 1983: âBlue Mondayâ. For instance, Listeners will probably recognize riffs in electronic music. âBlue Mondayâ was a platinum-selling record in the U.K., inspiring a generation of producers. For example, this included Jono, Tony, and Paavo – with its innovative sound design.
The track was debuted during Above & Beyondâs sold-out show at Londonâs Alexandra Palace in 2013. This full-throttle remake recreates the classic riff and drums on modern hardware. Until today, itâs been a closely guarded. But the track has been electrifying dance floors from New Yorkâs Madison Square Garden to Glastonbury Festival for years.
Above & Beyondâs label, Anjunabeats, is entering its twentieth year. As a result, the bandâs audacious homage to one of club musicâs biggest anthems drops today, Monday the 20th of January a.k.a. âBlue Mondayâ). How does it feel? Pretty good, if you ask us.
The track is out today, Blue Monday, January 20 on Anjunabeats
