Already a fan favorite in its original form, Above & Beyond and longtime collaborator Zoë Johnston’s “Carry Me Home” receives a powerful new rework from Koven, out now via Anjunabeats. The remix transforms the euphoric emotional core of the original into a soaring, high-intensity drum & bass anthem built for peak-time dancefloors.

First introduced as the second single from Above & Beyond’s acclaimed album Bigger Than All Of Us, “Carry Me Home” quickly became one of the defining moments of the record cycle. Anchored by Zoë Johnston’s unmistakable vocal performance—long regarded as one of the most iconic voices in the trio’s history—the track has since evolved into a live standout, sparking mass sing-alongs across the group’s global tours.

Now, Koven—the duo of producer Max Rowat and vocalist Katie Boyle—reshape the track through a cinematic drum & bass lens. The result is faster, heavier, and more urgent, while preserving the emotional weight that made the original resonate so deeply. Layered synth work, elevated breakbeats, and expansive drops give the remix a festival-scale intensity, pushing it firmly into late-night territory.

“Being able to remix a track from the absolute legends Above & Beyond is such an honor for us,” Koven share. “They were the first huge-name DJs we heard play one of our tracks, when we saw them play our collab with Ilan Bluestone at the O2 back in 2018. So this feels like a real bucket list moment. Zoë’s performance on this track is stunning, and we’re so pleased with how our styles came together.”

The remix marks a new chapter for a track already deeply embedded in the Above & Beyond live experience. Across their extensive 130,000-ticket North American amphitheater and club tour, followed by a 13-date UK and European run, “Carry Me Home” emerged as a consistent highlight—its chorus igniting emotional crowd reactions from London to San Diego.

The momentum continues into 2026, with Above & Beyond recently completing shows in Australia, headlining Anjunadeep Open Air South Africa, and preparing for a sunrise set at EDC Las Vegas on May 16.

With this new interpretation, Koven amplify “Carry Me Home” into a full-scale drum & bass anthem—retaining its emotional depth while unlocking a new level of energy for clubs and festivals worldwide.
