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.

ilan Bluestone's 'Impulse' is out now on Anjunabeats.

Loneliness

08. Dan Stone - Hermana (Original Mix)

A tranquil, atmospheric instrumental that blends electronic sounds with a gently flowing, expansive mood. The piece unfolds slowly, yet remains warm, dreamy, and modern throughout. Ideal for unwinding, drifting, or moments of inner peace.

Forward Facing (Walsh & McAuley Radio Edit)

“We always knew this was a special record, but the fans’ connection with its message and meaning has given it a life of its own in many ways. It really is a record that refuses to go away.” Above & Beyond’s Tony McGuinness 
Propelled by two of the biggest DJs in global dance music, Above & Beyond and Gareth Emery pres. OceanLab ‘On A Good Day (Metropolis)’ is a people’s record in the truest sense of the phrase. 

With over 2.5 million views on YouTube and mainstream support from Radio 1’s Scott Mills, the euphoric club track even inspired a singalong more in keeping with a U2 concert than a club set at this year’s Global Gathering festival: http://bit.ly/9tlqY9.   
OceanLab’s ‘On A Good Day’ originally featured on the 2008 LP ‘Sirens Of The Sea’, an album that reached #1 in the US iTunes dance chart, and was lauded in respected publications such as Mixmag and DJ Magazine. 

‘On A Good Day’ remained a firm favourite in the sets of Above & Beyond – eventually receiving another lease of life when its vocals were married with Gareth Emery’s ‘Metropolis’ as a DJ bootleg by Hungarian duo Myon & Shane 54.

After picking up mainstream radio support from Radio 1, ‘On A Good Day (Metropolis)’ is now being released alongside a drum & bass rework from scene stalwarts J Majik and Wickaman (known for their uplifting, club-smashing remix of Deadmau5’s chart hit ‘I Remember’), which has already been hammered by Andy C, Chrissy Chris (1 Xtra), Radio 1’s Grooverider, Hype, Judge Jules and Adam F. A previously unreleased acoustic version will feature as iTunes exclusive track.

Tapping into the vocal’s narrative of triumph over adversity, the official music video centres on the story of Detroit’s Georgia Street Community Collective, and their drive to regenerate the derelict buildings and industrial graveyards of Detroit and transform them into urban farms and community gardens.

Above & Beyond & Gareth Emery pres. OceanLab ‘On A Good Day (Metropolis)’ is out on 31st October

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)

Pioneering producer, DJ and Mondo Records founder Darren Tate (aka DT8 Project) returns to Anjunabeats with a new double A-side, ‘Carry On / We Are Oxygen’.

A classically trained musician with an adept approach to creating high-octane dance productions, Tate has collaborated with the likes of Boy George and Above & Beyond’s Jono Grant over the past 20 years, also becoming a sought-after remixer and film composer.

This latest pair of club stormers to emerge from his London studio continue where his previous Anjuna release ‘Cycles’ (supported by Armin van Buuren, Don Diablo, Cosmic Gate) left off, echoing nostalgic trance sensibilities whilst retaining a modern club edge.
