Abora's releases cover what may appear to be a wide range of genres—uplifting trance, orchestral uplifting, latin/balearic trance, progressive, chillout, & classical—but what ties many of them together is the distinctive Abora Sound. Energizing or soothing or anywhere in between. As said by staff in 2012, "Abora stands for peace, tranquility", fused with energy and excitement, a seemingly impossib
le combination understandable only by experiencing it. Abora has signed and released over 1,000 artists and over 500 songwriters. We own and manage over 8,000 master recordings and 2,000 musical works. Listeners have streamed Abora releases more than 100 million times on Spotify, Youtube, FB, Apple, & NetEase. Abora Recordings LLC has multiple sublabels and sublabel groups, including Extrema Global Music, Silent Shore, Levitated Music, Edge One, 2Rock Recordings, Lifting Force Music, Bifrost, & more. The music on the 5 Abora labels, especially the Skies, Chillout, and Symphonic labels, is designed to appeal to a broader audience beyond the club, EDM, and Hollywood scenes, including fans of film, classical and world music. In general, Abora tracks, even the most energetic and hardest tracks that might also work in clubs, are generally intended to foster feelings of peace and serenity. In contrast, the non-Abora labels are focused on the club world. Nonetheless, Abora has had tremendous success in the mainstream trance and club world due to the quality of its music. Since 2012, Abora tracks have won the Future Favorite vote award on Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance 20 times. Abora was rated the #8 trance label in the world in the Trance Podium 2014 Awards. It was #6 in the world in 2015 & #5 in 2016. Abora was also listed as one of the 6 best trance labels by Trance for Infinity.

Selected Sublabels:
ABORA RECORDINGS offers quality orchestral uplifting, balearic, and progressive trance. ABORA SKIES releases top-quality orchestral uplifting trance designed to appeal to a broader audience extending beyond only the traditional club, EDM, & Hollywood scenes to all people, including fans of film, world, and classical music. Its releases the very best in emotional and beautiful orchestral uplifting trance, with natural-sounding timbres and long, orchestral, beautiful, and emotional breakdowns. It aims to take uplifting trance out of only the clubs and festivals in order to provide uplifting and beautiful music for the homes, workplaces, gyms, and playgrounds of people worldwide of all ages, interests, cultures, religions, nations, and walks of life. ABORA SYMPHONIC PRODUCTIONS will provide music for films scores, corporate events, video games, advertisements, etc, both by excerpting and repackaging breakdowns of trance songs and orchestral mixes and by organizing the composition of new film scores, etc, customized to the customer. ABORA CHILLOUT is the more laid-back sub-label of Abora Recordings, with much of its music designed to lull you to sleep. Enter a world of big atmospheres and beautiful soundscapes, with relaxation as the key focus. EDGE EDM RECORDS represents the clubbier side of Abora. Tracks are harder, edgier, sometimes more influenced by tech or electro, and often more acid than the typical Abora style, with a more overriding focus on contemporary dancefloors and EDM festivals. Tracks suitable for clubs and EDM festivals will continue to be released on Abora Recordings and Abora Skies. But these, especially the latter, will focus on appealing to a broader audience. So the purpose of Edge EDM is to release music that doesn't fit Abora Recordings or Abora Skies but that will be of interest to the club, festival, & general EDM scene.
