10.0
Overall Score


With support from Pete Tong (Radio 1), Annie Nightingale (BBC R1), Charlie Hedges (BBC R1), Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond and many more, he's is one of trance music’s most influential figures.

ilan had a busy 2022: he wrapped up his 'Impulse' tour in support of his second studio album, delivered an incredible set at Group Therapy Weekender London, and worked hard on new music in between touring the globe.

This year, ilan headlined sold-out shows in London, Manchester and Dallas, and is currently touring across North America. He’s also set to step behind the decks at Tomorrowland and Above & Beyond's Group Therapy Weekender at The Gorge later this summer.
"I wanted to experiment with the use of AI on vocals to achieve a perfect balance of emotion and sound. I started by using some samples, and then decided to use AI. Next, I sang my own vocals with gibberish lyrics and used vocal chopping and pitching methods to get the desired result that I wanted." - ilan Bluestone
Expect more new music from ilan in the coming months. ‘On Me’ is out now on Anjunabeats.

Summary

ilan Bluestone is a driving force of change and evolution in the trance scene. He always experiments in his productions to push his techniques one step ahead of others. His massive new anthem On Me is emotional melodic driving peak time proglifting trance beauty with excellent synthy layers upon his pulsating basslines, pumping drums and superb atmosphere. The breakdown is long and teasing merging sensitive piano chords, superb sonic effects, slowly building melodies with his own vocals and choir like effects delivering the very touching and sensitive result. The climax goes full on with all the melodic layers, epic strings and vocals in the background adding colour, texture and enhancing the final result in a way that you can not think the end outcome without them. It's one of those tracks that you simply adore instantly! #PureGold Love IT
