The first track to emerge after the full release of his new album ‘Ignite’, ilan Bluestone presents ‘This Town’ (Club Mix).
Ignite is ilan’s most eclectic project yet: 15 tracks spanning 80s synthwave, cinematic ballads, melodic progressive house and new-age electronica, all grounded by the uplifting trance that defines his live sets. Since release, the album has seen over 3M streams worldwide.
“There are darker moments on there, but ultimately ‘Ignite’ is about the emotions and experiences that spark us into life. Writing these records felt like a weight coming off my shoulders and I’m hoping they inspire others to tackle and overcome their challenges in life”.
Bluestone’s love for string orchestration shines through the album, including the opening track ‘40’ with composer Jasper Blunk. The title track and first single, ‘Ignite’, is an electrifying blend of hypnotic melodies, soaring vocals, and explosive drops. It partners ilan with two artists who have been heavily involved in his story so far: Maor Levi and Giuseppe De Luca, marking the first time the three have collaborated on a record. Leeds-based writer and singer Giuseppe features more across the album, as well as on records with longtime contributors EL Waves, Gid Sedgwick and Ellen Smith. The album also introduces several new voices to ilan’s story.
Turning his hand to his more familiar club roots, ilan’s stonking, club-ready rework features regular contributor Giuseppe De Luca. Road-tested at ilan’s recent album tour shows across North America and his headline shows at Brooklyn Mirage & Dreamstate, ‘This Town’ (Club Mix) brings the energy across all dance floors.
ilan Bluestone’s Ignite is out now and is available to order on vinyl via the Anjuna Music Store.

[item value="10"]ilan Bluestone & Giuseppe De Luca - This Town (Club Mix)[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]ilan Bluestone & Giuseppe De Luca – This Town (Club Mix) delivers an electrifying proglifting trance experience at 134 BPM that masterfully balances high-octane energy with emotional depth. From a production standpoint, the track demonstrates meticulous attention to sonic detail. The low end is anchored by heavy, rolling sub-bass and deep, well-compressed kick drums that punch through the mix without muddying the layers. Above this, crisp percussion elements and tight hi-hats create a driving rhythm, while subtle reverb tails and stereo widening give the track a spacious club-ready feel. The arrangement builds gradually, showcasing Bluestone’s signature layering technique. Sweeping pads and atmospheric textures lead into shimmering plucks and lush arpeggiated synths, setting up a euphoric lift before the drop. Giuseppe De Luca’s emotive vocals are carefully treated with delay, reverb, and light harmonic saturation, ensuring they sit perfectly in the mix while carrying the emotional narrative of the track. Trance DJs will adore This Town (Club Mix) for its versatility on the dance floor. The precise 134 BPM tempo and well-marked phrase transitions make it ideal for seamless mixing, while the dynamic breakdowns and explosive drops create peak-moment energy that captivates a crowd. The combination of emotional vocal storytelling, tight rhythmic construction, and high-quality sound design ensures this track will shine in both intimate club settings and large-scale festival environments. #PureGold indeed—this is the kind of production that reminds trance fans why they fell in love with the genre. #LoveIT[/content]
