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'.

In early 2026, Eric Luttrell formally began releasing music under his full name rather than the shorter alias Luttrell. The change reflects a new phase in the career of one of the most recognizable artists associated with Anjunadeep. San Francisco's Eric Luttrell has become one of Anjunadeep's most distinctive voices over the past decade. But his journey from '90s grunge fan to The M Machine co-founder to melodic house solo artist reveals a musician whose influences run far deeper than the dancefloor . With three studio albums, a 2025 remix collection, and a growing global tour schedule, Luttrell represents a particular strain of electronic artist: one who brings indie sensibility, orchestral ambition, and genuine emotional depth to a genre often focused purely on function.

From a side project of Above & Beyond to one of the most recognised independent electronic music labels, Anjunadeep has spent two decades building something unusual. In 2025 and 2026, they've sold out events at the Burj Al Arab beach in Dubai, on the Albanian coast, and at golf resorts in Bangalore, India. Behind this lies a combination of musical evolution and destination-focused event strategy. This piece examines how Anjunadeep turned music into scenery, and listeners into a community.
