The follow up from his debut artist album 'Scars' is all polished off and ready to be unleashed on Anjunabeats this coming May with the new album title called 'Impulse' featuring 18 brand new tracks...
Arriving May 2021 on Above & Beyond’s iconic Anjunabeats imprint, ‘Impulse’ is ilan Bluestone’s 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.
‘Stranger To Your Love’ showcases this emphatically, reuniting ilan with Ellen Smith. Frequently supported by BBC Introducing through her band Shadowlark, Ellen featured on ‘Scars’ album favourite ‘Rival’ and provides two contributions to ‘Impulse’.
ilan Bluestone’s ‘Impulse’ arrives on Anjunabeats on May 7, 2021. Gatefold vinyl and downloads are available to pre-order now through the Anjuna Music Store and iTunes. The album includes the singles ‘Hold On’ (feat. Alex Clare and Maor Levi), ‘Rule The World’ (feat. Jan Burton) and ‘Paid For Love’ (feat. Gid Sidgwick).
"Two years of pouring my heart out and here it is... I’m extremely proud and excited to announce after many long sleepless nights, endless fine-tuning, chasing perfection and pressing deadlines, my second artist album is ready, and it’s called ‘Impulse’.
'Impulse' is an 18-track voyage through my impulsive approach to production & sound design, and by the feelings and emotions that guided me to create it. Having grown up listening to electronic music since the 80s and 90s, I’ve used those melodic influences throughout this album - from ‘Paid For Love’ to ‘Hopeless Dreamer’ to ‘Santo’.
This album is inspired by my experiences touring around the world, and by all of you, my fans. I hope you find something on this album which connects with you as much as this album does to me." - ilan Bluestone
