Out now on Above & Beyond’s iconic Anjunabeats imprint, ilan Bluestone's new studio album ‘Impulse’ is his most personal outing to date.

At the forefront of progressive and trance for almost a decade, Ilan creates high energy trance with heart and soul. From barnstorming festival favourites ’43’, ‘Spheres’ and ‘Let Me Know’, to modern updates of genre classics like System F’s ‘Out Of The Blue’, Armin van Buuren’s ‘In And Out Of Love’ and OceanLab’s ‘On A Good Day’ and ‘Satellite’, his emotional, song-drive approach to dance music has earned him eleven genre chart #1’s on Beatport and a legion of fans around the world.

His debut artist album, 2018’s ’Scars’, emphatically showcased the Bluestone sound. Broadening his repertoire with elements of dubstep, chillout and funk, ‘Scars’ cemented Ilan’s place as a headline Anjunabeats artist, with DJ support from Tiesto, Ferry Corsten and Oliver Heldens. The album has hit over 30 million streams. His tireless work ethic has been rewarded with the opportunity to perform at marquee festivals and venues: Electric Daisy Carnival, Creamfields, Tomorrowland, The Hollywood Palladium, Brooklyn Mirage, Madison Square Garden. Tracks from ‘Impulse’ were tested at Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy 350 show in Prague, 2019, and streamed to hundreds of thousands of fans around the world.

Songwriting takes centre stage on ‘Impulse’ - love found and lost, attachment and disengagement. A cast of familiar players has joined ilan for his second artist album. 

Giuseppe de Luca returns to the fold with five vocal contributions. The natural peak-time successor to hits like ‘Bigger Than Love’ and ‘Frozen Ground’, ‘Look At Me Now’ is a guitar-driven anthem about loss. ‘Hopeless Dreamer’ provides a dash of 80s synth wave, while album closer ‘Love Is A Drug’ - the album’s buoyant, final crescendo - discusses ideas of rebirth and rejuvenation. “Great track, turn the snare up”, was the feedback provided by founding member of New Order, Joy Division and Monaco, Peter Hook, who Ilan and Giuseppe cover on ‘What Do You Want From Me?’. 

EL Waves returned to the studio to follow up the pair’s 2018 hits ‘Will We Remain?’ and ‘Mama Africa’. Their latest, entitled ‘Tonight’, is a trademark, uplifting Bluestone anthem. ‘Stranger To Your Love’ and ‘Love Not Lust’ - both about Ilan’s relationships - feature Ellen Smith of Shadowlarks, who contributed ‘Rival’ to Ilan’s debut LP.

‘Impulse’ welcomes new collaborators into the fold as well. ‘Stay’ introduces Laura Zay. It’s Ilan’s first drum and bass track inspired by the music of his youth. The haunting voice of Gabriel & Dresden’s ‘Dangerous Power’ and ‘Underwater’ and Pryda ‘Niton (The Reason)’, Jan Burton provides two cuts: ‘Rule The World’ and ‘Underneath Moonlit Canopy’. Gid Sidgwick, another fellow Brit, sings on ‘Paid For Love’, which explores the emotional costs of falling in love.

Completing the album are two tracks with Ilan’s best friend and long-time production partner Maor Levi. ‘Three Kings’, alongside OTIOT is a vicious club instrumental and featured heavily in Ilan’s club shows before lockdown. Finally, ‘Hold On’ pairs Ilan and Maor with double platinum-selling singer-songwriter Alex Clare, whose 2011 hit ’Too Close’ was a top 40 record in both the U.K. and the US.

Out now on Anjunabeats: Andrew Bayer & Asbjørn ‘Equal’ (Andrew Bayer and Alex Sonata & TheRio Remix).

Debuted by Andrew to 20,000 fans at Above & Beyond’s sold-out Group Therapy 500 celebrations in Los Angeles last October, it’s the first remix to be revealed from Andrew’s fourth studio album 'Duality'. Met with acclaim from fans and supported by Sirius XM's Diplo and Liquid Todd, BBC Radio 1's Annie Nightingale and KCRW's Jason Bentley, the two-part album project was released via Anjunabeats in August and October 2022.

The string-laden closer to 'Duality pt. 1', 'Equal' saw Andrew collaborate with Danish singer-songwriter Asbjørn, previously heard as the voice of his 2015 trance smash, 'Super Human'. One of two collaborations between the pair across 'Duality pt. 1', Andrew and Asbjørn performed 'Equal' together on the main stage of Group Therapy Weekender London in September 2022.

Hailing from Scotland and Italy, production duo Alex Sonata & TheRio have rapidly ascended in the global trance scene. The pair first teamed up in 2018; after several collaborations, they made it official in 2020, and Alex Sonata & TheRio was born. They've released a string of explosive club tracks on Anjunabeats including 'Breath Of The Wild', 'Cala Luna', 'Time' and 'Are We Dreaming', and performed at Creamfields and Group Therapy Weekender London last year.

Andrew Bayer and Alex Sonata & TheRio will both appear on March 26 at our Miami Music Week label showcase at Nautilus. Final tickets on sale now (https://anjunabeats.com/events).

Andrew Bayer's 'Duality' is out now on Anjunabeats, with limited-edition triple gatefold vinyl available to pre-order now via the Anjuna Music Store.

Red Rocks, Colorado. EDC, Vegas. Steel Yard, Finsbury Park. Anjunabeach, California. Some of the locations that in the last months have chanted the words of ‘Will We Remain?’ with vigour. Taken from his iTunes #1 dance album ‘Scars’, ilan Bluestone reunites with long time partner in crime Maor Levi and London based songwriter El Waves for a tumultuous tale of love on the brink.

Providing a thunderous moment on the dance floor and his debut artist album, ilan and Maor’s heavy rolling bassline has a bruising vintage feel; EL Waves vocal cutting through the swathes of melody.

“Maor and I have always had great chemistry in the studio and El Waves adds another dynamic to the mix with her soulful vocal”, says ilan Bluestone. “‘Will We Remain?’ was a huge ID in my sets before the album release, and it’s been amazing having people sing along to the track over the last couple of months.”

With the journey through his ‘Illusion Of Perfection’ still fresh in the mind, San Fran’s Spencer Brown once again works his magic on an ilan Bluestone track. With echoes of electro progressive pioneers Deadmau5 and Eric Prydz, Spencer’s remix has become a trusted weapon during his international album tour.

Providing a twisted counterpoint to the uplifting ‘Flying By Candlelight’, the second chapter of Above & Beyond’s ‘Common Ground Companion EP’ sees Jono, Paavo and Tony unleash ‘Distorted Truth’. 

This is Above & Beyond at their rawest, channelling the vitality of classic trance instrumentation into a track that manages to simultaneously be brutish and beautiful. Debuted during the band’s sold out Group Therapy 300 celebrations in Hong Kong, an attuned listener might hear a nod to the sounds of the Far East in the breakdown. 

Featuring both ‘Original’ and 'Club' mixes of three tracks that were part of the journey towards 'Common Ground’, the band’s 2018 album which debuted at Number 3 in Billboard’s Album Chart last February. Above & Beyond’s ‘Common Ground Companion EP’ includes ‘Flying By Candlelight’ (feat. Marty Longstaff), ‘There’s Only You’ (feat. Zoë Johnston) and ‘Distorted Truth’. The release is available on a limited edition vinyl press with the full digital package dropping on March 29th.

The single coincides with the on sale of Above & Beyond’s return to The Gorge Amphitheater, WA in July for their first ever Group Therapy Weekender. The Group Therapy Weekender is a three day camping event at one of North America’s most picturesque venues. Tickets and camping packages are available now via aboveandbeyond.nu/gtw

Featuring 6 tracks honed on the road since his show stealing set during Above & Beyond’s ABGT300 show, the ‘We Are The Universe’ EP is yet another polished outing for the London based producer.

Hinting toward this new collection of tracks in Hong Kong, ilan’s latest EP project bears all the hallmarks of his modern uplifting sound. From the cascading, peak-time energy of ‘We Are The Universe’ to the more subtle groove of ‘Raindrops’, the first complete collection of music from ilan in 2019 reflects his exhilarating stage presence.

‘Mama Africa’ and ‘We Are The Universe’ reunites ilan with London singer EL Waves, who also contributes vocals to ‘The Distance’, written and produced by ilan and long term collaborator Maor Levi.

Debuted at Group Therapy Weekender 2019, Above & Beyond’s new bi-annual camping festival at The Gorge Amphitheatre outside of Seattle, this angel sounds far from heaven sent.

Another example of Above & Beyond’s recent attraction to tougher, tenebrous sounds this year (consider ‘Waltz’, ‘Distorted Truth’, ‘There’s Only You’ and the resurgent tech-trance sounds of Genix on Anjunabeats), ‘Another Angel’ is released worldwide on Friday, November 22.

Warping minds and dancefloors from New York to Prague, accompanied by a titanic visual that’s unnervingly similar to Dr Who’s most terrifying antagonist, ‘Another Angel’ samples the band’s own 2011 single ‘On My Way To Heaven’ from their acclaimed album ‘Group Therapy’.

The unmistakable and usually strident vocal work of Richard Bedford here sounds almost plaintive and cowed, surrounded on all sides by shuddering, cascading bass. Things culminate in a breathtaking drop that somehow manages to be quintessential Above & Beyond and something totally fresh at the same time.
