Best of 2018, version calme

Memories in music and everlasting impressions, two ideas at heart of the debut studio LP ‘Scars’ by ilan Bluestone. A leading figure in the trance and electronic music scene for the last 5 years, the British producer has performed at the likes of Madison Square Gardens, Red Rocks and Wembley Arena, is a regular in the sets of Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren and Kaskade, and has notched up 10 #1 singles in the Beatport Trance charts along the way.

The follow up to 2016’s ‘Bigger Than Love’ and recent favourite ‘Frozen Ground’, new single ’Scars’ reunites ilan with singer / songwriter Giuseppe De Luca. A dubstep-trance hybrid, ‘Scars’ takes his sound out of the traditional 4/4 world for the first time, yet retains ilan’s flair for heartfelt melodic productions.

“Giuseppe and I started with a blank canvas for this one. I laid down some chords in the studio and Giuseppe spent some time writing lyrics with me in California. The style change happened fairly organically, there’s a lot of power in the words he wrote and I wanted the drama of the music to reflect that”, explained ilan. “I’ve always tried to make music that leaves an impression on my fans and that was the inspiration for the record and ultimately the album”.

'Tambour - Silhouettes'
Co-produced by Pietro Amato and mixed by Mark Lawson (Arcade Fire’s collaborators) - the eight minute piece in two movements juxtaposes an intimate, slow moving opening that is overtaken by a series of gripping, ambitious orchestral swells in the second half. Pairing delicate, melodic piano with lush string and horn sections, the track displays Tambour (Simon P. Castonguay) at his best: patient, carefully constructed arrangements that are at once full of life and vivid imagery…

Andrew Bayer feat. Alison May ‘Immortal Lover’ is the first single from the hotly anticipated ‘In My Last Life’ LP - the follow-up to 2013’s critically acclaimed electronica LP ‘If It Were You, We’d Never Leave’.

With shuffling rhythms that owe more to hip hop producer Timbaland than Tiesto, ‘Immortal Lover’ whispers of stalking ex-lovers from the beyond the grave through Alison May’s haunting vocals. A beautiful but twisted indie-electronica epic with a dash of trip hop darkness.

Andrew Bayer feat. Alison May - Immortal Lover

French pianist / composer Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch returns with the stunning 'Époques', her sophomore album for FatCat's pioneering 130701 imprint. Witnessing an increased assurance and dynamism in both Emilie's playing and composing, 'Époques' marks a big step forward for the London-based artist. A bold and adventurous album that alternates between passages of emotive, sinuous solo piano; stirring compositions for viola and cello and some beautifully sprawling electronics, it has been masterfully pieced together to further reveal a unique and intelligent sense of artistry, and a composer who really does deserve your full attention.

'Époques' is a deep, forceful, at times difficult, listen - a true shifting through the various registers of emotion, from dark to light. Whilst fans of artists like Max Richter, Dustin O'Halloran and Jóhann's Jóhannsson ought to surely find much to love in this album, and parallels may be found to a progressive new breed of female peers like Claire M Singer, Lucy Railton and labelmate Resina, it is a record that genuinely sees its maker finding her own space, fully formed and conclusively set aside from peers and influences. No mere background listen, 'Époques' is a proper journey of an album – a record to immerse yourself into; that stands up to and rewards repeat listening, revealing itself more and more over time.

"The Untravel video was greatly inspired by the music itself and Ryans idea behind it. We were exploring ways of visualising the feeling of being lost and ennui, experimenting with various techniques of distorting the footage in order to intensify the experience of a disoriented feeling in a strange and unknown landscape, yet maintaining a constant forward motion while examining the desolate world."

For Steven (Eefje de Visser Rework)

Ghostly Kisses – Touch

Every day, I keep thinking
About you and I
How good we are together
When we’re alone together

Can you tell why
Can you tell me why you keep your distance like this?

I wanna feel your touch
I wanna feel you
I wanna feel your touch
I wanna feel you
Will you ever?
Will you ever let me in?

You read me well
Better than I read myself
I like you best
When there is no one else, only on our own

Can you tell why
Can you tell me why you keep me in the dark like this?

I wanna feel your touch
I wanna feel you
I wanna feel your touch
I wanna feel you
Will you ever?
Will you ever let me in?
