Nearly five years after his last Anjunadeep release, the San Francisco producer is back on the label with a double single release: 'Comeback Kids / Sweat Equity'.

The two-track offering, which arrived via the label's flagship 'Anjunadeep 16' compilation on February 20, 2026, marks Brown's first appearance on the imprint since his 2021 'Blue Magic / Rainy April' EP.

Spencer Brown's return to Anjunadeep was telegraphed before the double single landed. Known for his technically precise productions and marathon DJ sets, Brown's return has been highly anticipated by the Anjunafamily, with 'Comeback Kids' serving as a standout closer on the acclaimed compilation. The double single appears as part of the 42-track 'Anjunadeep 16' compilation, curated by label staples James Grant and Jody Wisternoff.

His previous release on the label had been the double A-side 'Blue Magic / Rainy April' in September 2021, a package that paired a percussive, djembe-driven collaboration with Danny Shamoun alongside a fan-favourite single with Qrion. The gap between that and 'Comeback Kids / Sweat Equity' is nearly four and a half years, a significant stretch in electronic music terms, and a period in which Brown remained active but oriented his output elsewhere, releasing on Bedrock and Global Underground and deepening his residency of open-to-close shows at Stereo Montreal.

Two Tracks, Two Directions

Comeback Kids: Described by Anjunadeep as providing a driving and melodic progressive energy. First featured on the Anjunadeep 16 compilation (February 20, 2026) before its standalone release.

Sweat Equity: Leans into a sun-drenched, Balearic sound, a tonal counterpoint to 'Comeback Kids' and a different facet of Brown's production range on display in the same package.

The pairing is deliberate and characteristic of how Brown has always operated across the Anjuna catalogue. The double single format two tracks that share a release but pull sonically in different directions is one he has used before, and it works here precisely because neither track tries to meet the other halfway. 'Comeback Kids' pushes; 'Sweat Equity' reclines.

The Anjunadeep Chapter

Spencer Brown's relationship with the Anjuna family runs deep. His early work appeared on Above & Beyond's flagship Anjunabeats label, including his 2018 debut album 'Illusion of Perfection' . His last release on the deeper Anjunadeep imprint came in September 2021 with the 'Blue Magic / Rainy April' single.

During his time away from the label, Brown has remained active, releasing the 'Four Shades EP' in January 2026 and maintaining a relentless touring schedule that has taken him across the globe . A 61-show headlining tour across the Americas, Europe, and Asia followed his 2023 release 'Equanimity'. His return to Anjunadeep suggests a renewed creative alignment with the label's melodic, groove-driven direction.
