Electronic supergroup ABOVE & BEYOND have been nominated for a 2015 GRAMMY Award in the category of "Best Dance Recording" for their single "We're All We Need", which was written with Zoë Johnston.

Released originally on their 2014 album of the same name (a top 10 iTunes album in 20 countries) via Anjunabeats/Ultra Music, the song has gone on to receive over 15 million Spotify streams and almost 4.5 million views for its video on YouTube.

This marks the first-ever GRAMMY nomination for ABOVE & BEYOND, who is the U.K.-based trio of electronic music producers, performers and songwriters Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness and Paavo Siljamäki.

An acoustic version of "We're All We Need" will appear on ABOVE & BEYOND's next album release, Acoustic II this spring. Acoustic II is a follow-up to the iTunes dance chart-topping 2014 album Acoustic and will once again be produced in collaboration with producer Bob Bradley. It will feature lush new arrangements of some of the biggest hits from ABOVE & BEYOND's Billboard Dance Chart-topping LP We Are All We Need, as well as some of the most popular ABOVE & BEYOND hits from years gone by, including "Alchemy" and "No One On Earth." Fans can pre-order the Acoustic II CD from anjunastore.com now.

To support Acoustic II's release in May, ABOVE & BEYOND--accompanied by a 15-piece ensemble -- will embark on a tour of music's most iconic venues including the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, London's Royal Albert Hall and the Sydney Opera House. Already shows in New York, Chicago and San Francisco have sold out, prompting the trio to put additional dates on sale.
