Tony McGuinness Celebrated World Sleep Day by Reading Beloved English Fairytale

Above & Beyond teamed up with Pandora on World Sleep Day to curate a playlist of tunes and a reading of Jack and the Beanstalk by Tony McGuinness.

While much of the legacy that dynamic UK-based trio Above & Beyond has created for themselves is centered on electrifying trance and progressive house tunes, that doesn’t mean they don’t have a softer side. This chilled-out nature has been displayed over the years through sets at Burning Man, the yoga-inspired album Flow State, activations at their curated events, and even the launch of the new downtempo label under Anjunabeats, Reflections. This month, they enhanced that even further by partnering with Pandora for World Sleep Day on March 15.

Above & Beyond’s World Sleep Day takeover brings a curated playlist of tunes to Pandora that are perfect to shut your eyes to and fall into a deep slumber. This includes selections from Anjunabeats, Anjunadeep, and Reflections, such as the soundscapes found on the aforementioned Flow State album and more. Additionally, as an added treat, the takeover on Pandora begins with a bedtime story from Above & Beyond’s Tony McGuinness. He reads the beloved English fairytale Jack and the Beanstalk to help you get cozy and drift off to sleep.

We are delighted to have this opportunity with Pandora, not only to take ‘Flow State’ into its next Chapter but also to showcase our wider repertoire of ambient music and incredibly talented artists. This has been a huge focus for us in the last two years, and 2024’s ‘World Sleep Day Partnership’ feels like the perfect opportunity to celebrate and showcase that… while hopefully providing a suitable soundtrack & story to a good night’s sleep.
