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.

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.

Sketched on the road and in their London studio, the mix album coalesced in scarce periods of calm amidst a whirlwind of giddying career highs: the band’s 2018 album ‘Common Ground’ reached #3 in the Official Billboard Album chart while an accompanying tour saw the trio travel to every corner of the globe. Above & Beyond's two label imprints, Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep, continued to grow in stature and scale at a rate that continues to defy expectations.

Joining the dots between the intimate sound of Anjunadeep and the stadium-sized productions found on Anjunabeats, Volume 14 once sees Above & Beyond craft a mesmerising journey through forward-thinking electronic music. The two disc, 34-track mix includes exclusive selections from their ever expanding Anjuna family of artists as well as original contributions from the band themselves.

Celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, Above & Beyond pull back the curtain on their latest club single with longtime collaborator Zoë Johnston: ‘Reverie’. 

Debuted at O2 Arena, Prague in October 2019 during the band’s Group Therapy 350 celebrations, ‘Reverie’ sees Tony McGuinness, Jono Grant and Paavo Siljamäki team up once more with the voice of anthems like ‘We’re All We Need’, ‘Good For Me’, ‘My Own Hymn’. 

“It’s about the beauty of memory: you can re-play all of your old favourite films, any time you like. You can take a centre seat, and at the end, when the screen tears open and the main character climbs out into the room, you can put your arms around them and say, “See you next time.” ” - Zoë Johnston

The Club Mix of ‘Reverie’ is available to buy and stream now on Anjunabeats.

ilan Bluestone is back with ‘Paid For Love’ featuring Gid Sedgwick.

Our story begins in 2012 when Ilan was introduced to Anjunabeats by Maor Levi. We haven’t looked back since. From his early works like ‘Cape Town’ and ‘Big Ben’, to his 2018 album ‘Scars’, to his recent EP release under new alias Elysian, Ilan always keeps one foot firmly ahead of the pack. 

From Dreamstate to Tomorrowland, A State Of Trance to Group Therapy at Madison Square Garden and beyond, Ilan is a mainstage star who is committed to the craft of songwriting. Above & Beyond rarely play a show that doesn’t feature one (or more) of Ilan’s songs. 

2020 has been a difficult, yet productive year for Ilan. He released 'Black & Blue' with Andrew Bayer, curated a 20 Years Of Anjunabeats mix, launched new project, Elysian, with fellow globetrotters Maor Levi and Emma Hewitt and his 138 Stoneblue alias with debut release ‘Hypnotized’ on Monstercat. 

‘Paid For Love’ is classic Bluestone. Vibrant and anthemic, Ilan is joined once again by singer and songwriter Gid Sedgwick, who worked with Ilan and Maor Levi on 2019’s ‘Can You’. ‘Paid For Love’ was handpicked by Above & Beyond for their Group Therapy 400 livestream in September.

Says Ilan, “ ‘Paid For Love' is the first track I’ve written where I’ve had a hand in writing the lyrics. The song is about a personal experience I had in a relationship, and I feel like these lyrics speak to people who may have gone through similar experiences. I’ve felt such a strong connection with fans at my shows when they’ve been singing the words back to me. I wanted a vocal in the style of Depeche Mode, and Gid delivered!"

‘Paid For Love’ is available to buy and stream now, with much more music from ilan arriving on Anjunabeats early in 2021.

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.
