Paavo Olavi Siljamäki (born 25 April 1977) is a Finnish writer, producer and DJ, comprising one-third of the British trance band Above & Beyond..[1] "P.O.S" is his solo project. He has also made music for various artists. Together with his bandmates, he has founded the trance music label, Anjunabeats[2]
History[edit]
Based out of London since 1997, Siljamäki attended the University of Westminster where he met fellow Above & Beyond member Jono Grant.[3] The duo discovered a mutual interest in Electronic Music. Siljamaki is credited as a producer under several Above & Beyond records, such as the Flow State album.[4]
Siljamäki has twice been nominated for a Grammy award in the "Best Dance Recording" category. The first, in 2016, was for the track "We're All We Need", and the second in 2019 for the track "Northern Soul".[5]
P.O.S[edit]
Beside the production for Above & Beyond, Siljamäki also works under the P.O.S alias. The P.O.S single "Gravity" peaked at number 28 in the UK dance singles chart in March 2005.[6] Released on Anjunabeats, "Gravity" was later remixed by James Grant and Andrew Bayer in 2012.
His mental health struggles[7] drew inspiration for new music under the alias. Siljamaki revived the P.O.S alias in the studio, extending his solo work, releasing the Deeper Tales album in 2023.[2][8]
On 23 February 2024, Siljamäki played a one-hour live performance under his P.O.S alias, at the Ahoy Rotterdam for A State of Trance, premiering new material.
