Andrew Bayer – Nobody Told Me (Original Mix)

The ‘tock’ to Above & Beyond’s ‘tick’! Thats what the Berklee School of Music graduate Andrew Bayer has turned out to be. It’s been quite some time now and we haven’t seen ABGT reach milestones without Bayer’s freshest of the stuff ruling Above & Beyond’s sets. The most recent ABGT150 was no exception as the British trance trio world-premiered Bayer’s new offering ‘Nobody Told Me’ that is a part of a three track upcoming EP titled ‘The Anamnesis Trilogy’. This is what Mr. Bayer said about the EP:

The Anamnesis Trilogy is all about reviving, reinterpreting and reimagining what I feel are classic – and lost – messages and motifs in trance and progressive. In this EDM-era, big room music has become obsessed with high impact, instant gratification and, to be honest, absolutely uninspiring and boring arrangements. I was listening back over my favourite trance and progressive records, and remembering when dance music was about a sense of journey and progression. Records where there was more than just a breakdown and Bro-DM drops… records where you sometimes moved across what felt like three different – and equally mind-expanding – records just to get the REAL moment in the track. The three records in the Anamnesis Trilogy are all inspired by this sensibility and era, but 2015 Bayer style.

With ‘Nobody Told Me’, Bayer takes his fans on a journey with twists and turns through a trance variance of late 90’s early 2000’s classic trance, before it finally dives into a bass section that is sublimely minimal and dark and enough to pass chills down your spine, until Bayer switches gears to the most maximal buildup he has ever done and then back down to minimal bass and drums.

Andrew certainly has a sense of style that clearly reflects from a core sound that is indescribably eccentric. After the previous huge outing he has had with his Do Androids Dream EP release earlier this year, we just can’t wait to put our hands on the The Anamnesis Trilogy. ‘Nobody Told Me’ has been released via Anjunabeats and you can buy it now off Beatport.
