History
In 2000, Anjunabeats released its first 12" record, titled Volume One, which was released under Grant and Siljamäki's alias Anjunabeats.
As the label got the name Anjunabeats, they decided to produce under different aliases, such as Free State and Dirt Devils.
They were soon joined by Tony McGuinness in 2000 after he was asked to collaborate on a remix of Chakra (trance duo) ‘Home’ and formed Above & Beyond.

The trio also launched 2 other sub-labels, Anjunadigital that deals with special remixes and releases of Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep tracks, and Hard On Recordings that was active from 2000 to 2004 and focused on hard trance and hard house.discogs.com: Hard On Recordings  on Discogs.
