Seattle Trance Family Shows Support For Sunny Lax At The Underground – Dance Music Northwest

The Anjuna family came out in full force for Sunny Lax at The Underground.

Excitement for the show began hours before doors opened. Laxs new tune, Pequod,premiered as the record of the week onEpisode 229ofAbove & Beyonds Group Therapy Radio.Right before releasing the track, group member Tony McGuiness mentioned the show in Seattle at The Underground. For aclub that celebrated its one year anniversaryjust earlier this year, hearing its name mentioned on a radio show that broadcasts worldwideisa pretty big deal.

After a good deal of hype and anticipation, the sun set and showtime finally arrived. As we walked down the narrow stairs and into the venue, we were greeted withdeep tunes, courtesy of local artistThomas Crown. A few personal favorites he played included the Eric Prydz remix of Flashback by Calvin Harris, and Word by Chris Lake and Sebastien Leger.

Up next, we heard mellow beats from resident DJSunriser. He built onthe laid-back vibes, playingseveral Anjunadeep tunes, including a few tracks from Yotto. Then,Gotekjumped on the decks and continued energizing the crowd.Several attendees, including Gotek himself, were spotted wearing Anjunabeats merch. The crowd was energetic, and as they always are at the Underground, warm & friendly to boot.

At long last, Hungarian producer Sunny Lax arrived. He started off with a tune that instantly united the room: Above & Beyonds club mix of Another Chance by Oceanlab. Whenthe crowd heard this song, they immediately ran to the main room and belted out the lyrics in unison. These type of moments are quite common at Anjunabeats shows; theyre what bring members of the Anjuna family together. When we saw the crowds reaction to this song, we knew it was going to be a great night.

Smiles, hugs and love filled the room. There were no strangers, just members of the Anjuna family waiting to meet one another, and Sunny Lax gave the crowd exactly what they wanted: Uplifting tunes and melodicbeats. We heard some of our favorite tracksof his, including Everythings a Lie and Onyx. He also played several Above & Beyond tunes, like Thing Called Love and Fly To New York. Other well received tracks included Higher Love by Seven Lions & Jason Ross, and Easy by Porter Robinson & Mat Zo.

In the end, we were treated to two-and-a-half hours of bliss-filled trance. Lax did an amazing job connecting with the crowd through smiles and high fives, and the crowd, the venue, the atmosphere were all on point. Suffice it to say, everything was perfect. Sunny Lax certainly gave us our Anjunabeats fix, and now were counting down the days until ABGT250. Perhaps hell be one of the artists on the lineup? Wesure hope so!
