Above & Beyond é uma banda inglesa de trance formada pelos DJs Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness e Paavo Siljamäki. O grupo foi formado em 2000, quando Tony fez uma proposta aos outros dois membros para colaborarem em uma remix do projeto Chakra.

Desde então, a ascensão do grupo foi meteórica, o que os levou a trabalhar com remixes para Madonna, Britney Spears e Radiohead.

Então produtores, passaram a serem DJ's após 2002, e fundaram seu próprio programa de rádio, chamado Trance Around the World, que durou até novembro de 2012 (episódio 450), onde a partir daí foi substituído pelo seu atual programa de rádio Group Therapy.

Atualmente, ocupam o posto #22 do Top 100 DJ's da revista DJ Magazine.

Também possuem sua própria gravadora, chamada Anjunabeats, fundada em 2000 e que até então era o nome do grupo e foi fundada por Jono e Paavo. Posteriormente, mudaram para Above & Beyond após a entrada de Tony. Em 2005, fundaram a sub-label Anjunadeep.

OceanLab

De 2000 a 2010, o Above & Beyond também fizeram parte do projeto OceanLab com a vocalista Justine Suissa. Sob esse nome, lançaram 4 singles sem álbum dentre eles Satellite, que chegou ao número 19 nas paradas britânicas.

Em 2008 lançaram o álbum de estreia do OceanLab, Sirens of the Sea. Em 2010 lançaram o mash-up On a Good Day (Metropolis) (com Gareth Emery) marcando o último lançamento do OceanLab. Em 2014, Tony McGuinnes e Paavo Siljamäki, por uma seção de Perguntas e Respostas no Reddit, afirmaram que o OceanLab não existia mais, e as colaborações com Justine Suissa continuariam através do nome Above & Beyond & Justine Suissa.

No entanto, em 2016 lançaram o single Another Chance sob o nome de OceanLab. No seu mais recente álbum, Common Ground, Justine Suissa teve 3 músicas inéditas todas creditadas como Above & Beyond feat. Justine Suissa. Atualmente o lançamento mais recente do quarteto é Almost Home, de 2021.
