Release date: September 6th, 2010
Label: Enhanced Progressive

ASOT 469 Tune Of The Week! Arty's seen a phenomenal rise in the short 14 months since we gave him his debut release on Enhanced Progressive. "Man Of The Moment" is a term often used, but we feel there is absolutely no other way of describing the young Russian right now. Since his remix of Ferry Tayle & Static Blue's Trapeze and Tritonal's Utopia, Arty has been the producer everyone wants, and subsequent remixes for the likes of the scenes biggest names, Above & Beyond, Kyau & Albert and Paul van Dyk, and his Beatport No. 1 remix of D-Mad on Enhanced Progressive has cemented his position at the top of the newcomers from the past year. Back on Enhanced Progressive with another brilliant Original, Arty turns out two versions of Twilight Tonight. The Original Mix falls in a similar vein to that of his last two EP's on Enhanced, whilst the Arty Remode vamps up the atmosphere with Arty's trademark power chords with rich pads and synths sending the emotion into orbit. Remixes come from two of Enhanced Prog's favourites, MoodFreak and D-Mad. MoodFreak makes a welcome return after a lengthy hiatus, and he doesn't disappoint as he pushes the track towards the progressive house pigeonhole with his sparkly synths and groovy bottom end. D-Mad rips up the rulebook and goes for an entirely fresh approach from his usual style, combining stabby synths and bleepy melodies with the wonkiest bassline we've heard in a while! Essential stuff from the Man Of The Moment!

Cash Cash - Surrender (Grum Remix)

Destiny

Andrew Bayer & Ilan Bluestone - Destiny (Intro Mix)

Hey everyone, Arty here and I wanna share some thoughts with you that I've been living with for a while now.
First, thanks to all of you for being with me in this amazing musical journey, I just realized it's already been 9 years since I'm doing what I love the most and your support is the one of the few things that keeps me motivated and inspired, 
I appreciate it so much and I always will!
But I also appreciate the desire to explore myself in different musical styles, trying something new and pushing this idea forward all the time. Since the beginning of my career I've always been saying that I don't wanna stuck in one certain genre, and the reason is not because I don't like it anymore. The real reason that is for me as an artist, listening, getting inspired and making as much diverse music as possible is one of the things that helps my creativity and keeps me from being stagnated as a musician...which is the worst.
That's why at some point the music I was making has started to go further and further away from its original roots. 
Some of you accepted it, some if you didn't. Yet all of the records I made always came from my soul, whether it's trance, dance or pop. Over these years I've been always listening to your feedback. You might think that for an artist it's extremely easy to start ignoring his fans, their demands and just do what his heart or mind says. 
Well, it's not. And that's where idea of discovering new sound clashes with listener's voice and all of this happens in my head. "IN MY HEAD", so don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about it. Your feedback and support was always with me throughout this journey, but when some of my records didn't match your expectation, unconsciously I started to build this pressure on my shoulders and I started to compromise my music in an effort to make both me and my fans satisfied.
2016 was amazing year for me. It was a year of re-discovering myself as an artist and as a person as well, considering it took me a minute to get out of my album's routine and its aftermath, which was close to a nightmare. But the freedom afterwards felt like nothing else. I didn't feel myself so inspired and productive in a long time, and it was probably the first time I opened my eyes so wide. Closer to the end of last year I noticed how much my music was different from what I've done in the past, and I felt like I had been neglecting my long-time fans and it didn't feel fair. And that's how I came up with idea of bringing the Alpha 9 alias back. It gives me the freedom to not be bounded to a specific genre, allowing me to experiment and keep pushing my boundaries with Arty, while I can be as close as possible to my long-time fans using Alpha 9 moniker.
I remember myself as a 17 year old kid, running back home from university classes every day, absolutely blinded by just the idea of making music. No pressure from managers, labels or promoters, just pure passion. For the first time in a long time I feel like that kid again and I don't feel this pressure anymore.
Also I wanna make it really clear, although Alpha 9 is still me, it's a totally separate project from Arty, focused on totally different music. I'm taking Arty music further towards the dance scene, while Alpha 9 will be a progressive/trance oriented project, this applies to branding, releases and live sets.
Below is the link for my first track back as Alpha 9 "The Night is Ours" that came out today on Armind.

Blissful Balearic moments courtesy of Above & Beyond’s chart-hitting side project with Justine Suissa…

Ibiza - the birthplace of modern dance music. 20 years on and the island remains an important catalyst for today’s hottest dance talents. This year, OceanLab, the project featuring Above & Beyond and singer/songwriter Justine Suissa spent several weeks holed up in a villa there finishing their debut album, ‘Sirens Of The Sea’.

Seeped in Balearic brilliance, ‘Sirens Of The Sea’ is a mix of blissed out epics and dancefloor cuts. An album of depth, variety and serene beauty, showcasing a level of songwriting and production rarely witnessed within electronic music, and already drawing comparisons with bands such as Zero 7 and Everything But The Girl.

Two of the most innovative producers on our labels, Andrew Bayer and Matt Lange collaborate - with a little help from Kerry Leva - on the intricate progressive trance anthem "In And Out Of Phase".

A stand-out track on Above & Beyond's "Anjunabeats Volume 9", the Club Edit of "In And Out Of Phase" combines a blissful bubbling groove, stirring string sections and Leva's angelic, otherworldly vocals to impressive effect.

Available for the first time, the Original Mix adds a string-laden breakbeat and bass section and an even more epic arrangement.

On the remixes, the currently unstoppable Norin & Rad follow their recent debut Anjunabeats single "Bloom" with an uplifting, riff based big room rework - already a firm fixture in Above & Beyond's sets.

Both huge fans of Bayer and Lange's obsessively detailed production work, drum & bass heavyweights Calyx & TeeBee inject the original's ethereal melodies with rampaging breakbeats and guttural bass growls.

There are few artists that embody the DNA of Anjunabeats quite like ilan Bluestone; a passionate performer whose onstage presence is as emotive as his songwriting.

With his heart firmly on his sleeve, 2018 saw the release of ilan’s debut album ’Scars’ (an instant classic for Anjunabeats) and a worldwide album tour. His year culminated in a rousing show-closer at Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy 300 celebrations in Hong Kong.

2019 begins with another bold statement from ilan Bluestone: six original productions on a new EP entitled, ‘We Are The Universe’.

A mix of vocal-led and instrumental trance cuts, the release reflects ilan’s passion for energetic, innovative dance music.
The first single is a fan favourite from ilan’s New Year club run and recent Above & Beyond shows: ‘Mama Africa’ featuring EL Waves.

Bearing the prestigious ‘tronce’ seal (that's British for ‘trance’) ‘Mama Africa’ delivers an ilan Bluestone-sized hit of driving rhythmic bass, cascading layers of synth and the return of collaborator EL Waves (Elizabeth Osei) for another stunning vocal performance.

Elizabeth explains how the track draws heavily from her cultural roots, “This is a song of love and blessing for my mother, father and loved ones. In Akan culture we recognise the sacrifices that each individual makes when raising children of the next generation, passing down wisdom from old to new. Sending out blessings is something we do to show love and appreciation and to say thank you.”

ilan Bluestone ‘Mama Africa’ featuring EL Waves is set for release on Anjunabeats on the 19th of February with the full EP arriving this spring.

The accompanying ‘We Are The Universe’ world tour sees ilan travel to Australia, North America and Europe, including multiple dates across the Anjunabeats 2019 North American tour. (ilanbluestone.com)

Above & Beyond and Artem Stolyarov are together again on the ALPHA 9 remix of ‘Good For Me’ (feat. Zoë Johnston).

‘Good For Me’ was first released on Above & Beyond’s debut album ‘Tri-State’, which celebrates its fifteenth anniversary in March 2021. Featuring the ethereal voice of long-time collaborator Zoë Johnston, it is one of Above & Beyond’s best-loved anthems. 

Whether he’s ARTY or ALPHA 9, Artem is one of Anjuna’s brightest stars. His ALPHA 9 project went from strength to strength in 2020: highlights include the ‘Stellar EP’, ‘Everywhere I Go’ and ‘All That I Can’. ALPHA 9 contributed three tracks to Anjunabeats Volume 15, Above & Beyond’s marquee release of the year. Artem’s recent 20 Years Of Anjunabeats mix featured some of his best work as ARTY and ALPHA 9 from the last decade, plus selections from Andrew Bayer, Mat Zo, Grum and Jaytech.

Artem previously remixed Above & Beyond and Zoë Johnston’s ‘My Own Hymn’, from the trio’s 2018 studio album ‘Common Ground’. ALPHA 9’s take on ‘Good For Me’ is a faithful update of an evergreen classic.

The ALPHA 9 remix of Above & Beyond and Zoë Johnston’s ‘Good For Me’ is out now on Anjunabeats.
