Since launching their Flow State project in 2019, Above and Beyond have released three albums “to bring people's attention and focus towards helping themselves find better mental fitness and overall happiness in life”, Paavo Siljamäki, one third of the UK trance trio, tells Apple Music. So the group, which has collaborated with fellow yoga practitioners Elena Brower and ChauKei Ngai in the past, was a natural choice to design the inaugural Apple Music Fitness Mix for yoga, which follows the energy and tempo of a vinyasa flow practice. “Through raised awareness, being more present, one can reach a state of flow: a creative and free state of mind where time, fear and stress dissipate,” says Siljamäki. “That's always been the goal with our Flow State albums and mixes. We try to structure our mindfulness mixes with a smaller, intimate opening before stretching out to more string-based records.” Case in point: the inclusion of Jon Hopkins’ gorgeous ambient track “Abandon Window”, which “always finds its way into our downtempo sets”, says Siljamäki. “It was the opening track of our first yoga set at Robot Heart, Burning Man in 2014, and sets the mood instantly.” This mix is created for students and teachers alike to guide their practice or class instruction. “We hope it provides listeners with some degree of calm and solace in these wild times,” says Siljamäki.
