Channeling pure summer essence, ‘Back To Blue’ marks the sun-soaked debut of Valentino Indy alongside Edward Maya and Klavdia. Reminiscent of the classic Romanian Eurodance and Popcorn hits reappear in the Shazam charts every year, this vocal-driven heater heater is melodious, eargasmic and instantly contagious.


Lyrics
I was fine before i met you
now i'm chasing every ghost in my room
got your name still burning on my skin
like a secret i keep caving in,

Tried to drown it in the noise
but your silence is louder than my voice
i rewind, i replay
guess i never learned to walk away.

And now i'm dancing with the memory of you
in a crowd but i'm alone, it's true
every beat just pulls me deeper through
I'm falling
Falling back to blue
You're the high i hate to lose
but i keep crashing into you

All the "what if's" keep me wide awake
Wish i never let my heart escape
your echo's in the way i breathe
you left, but you're still haunting me

maybe i loved a version that was never real
projected every dream onto the way you made me feel
now i'm spinning in a loop i can't undo
and every road just leads me back to you.

And yeah i'm dancing with the memory of you
in the dark where can't break through
every beat just paints me black & blue
Still falling
Falling back to blue
You're the lie i wish was true
but i keep holding on like fools... do

Can't move on, can't push through
… Still falling, falling

[item value="10"]Edward Maya, Valentino Indy & Klavdia - Back to Blue [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Valentino Indy’s debut track, "Back To Blue," featuring Edward Maya and Klavdia, is a radiant summer anthem that captures the essence of sun-soaked days and euphoric nights. The song is a vibrant blend of melodic pop and deep dance rhythms, driven by a captivating 120 BPM tempo that makes it both energetic and infectious. From the very first note, "Back To Blue" pulls listeners in with Klavdia’s mesmerizing vocals. Her voice is both powerful and emotive, adding a rich texture that complements the melodic arrangement perfectly. The production showcases an excellent balance between modern dance grooves and nostalgic touches reminiscent of classic Romanian Eurodance and Popcorn hits that continue to trend on platforms like Shazam year after year. The track’s structure is thoughtfully crafted, with smooth transitions that keep the energy flowing seamlessly. The ethnic influences are subtly woven into the melody, adding an exotic flair without overpowering the song. These elements create a dynamic listening experience, where the catchy hooks and memorable choruses linger long after the song ends. In terms of production techniques, "Back To Blue" shines through its layered instrumentation. The rhythmic foundation is built on a solid bassline and punchy beats that provide a danceable groove. The melodic elements are bright and crisp, with synths and harmonies that enhance the song’s uplifting vibe. The meticulous arrangement ensures that each section builds momentum, leading to a satisfying climax that’s perfect for both radio play and dance floors. Overall, "Back To Blue" is a masterfully produced track that showcases the talents of Valentino Indy, Edward Maya, and Klavdia. Its infectious melody, vibrant production, and emotional depth make it a standout summer hit. An afrohouse remix would undoubtedly add an exciting new dimension, enhancing its already dynamic appeal. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

Out now on Anjunabeats: ilan Bluestone, Jonny Bluestone, EL Waves & Pieter T ‘Mewo Fie’.

It’s the honesty in both his music and personality that has made ilan Bluestone a staple in the dance and trance world for over a decade.

As an Anjunabeats stalwart, the early ‘Anthem Test’ Instagram previews of his late-night writing sessions forged an instant connection with his audience years ahead of it becoming common practice on social media platforms. He provided the audience with insight into what it’s like to be a musician, producer, and DJ in the 2010s — a sentiment echoed in his high-energy, euphoric, and melodic music that has taken him to the stages of Madison Square Garden, Tomorrowland, Creamfields, and EDC.

His albums are the clearest window into his current headspace as a musician. 2018’s ‘Scars’ is a love letter to the inspirations that had informed and imprinted his early musical journey. 2021’s ‘Impulse’, a thoroughly ‘Tronce’ coming of age LP embracing the high energy club side of life post pandemic.

Completing a trilogy of ‘heart on sleeve’ LPs is ‘Ignite’, the story of an artist reigniting his creative fires after burnout in 2023.
“Touring ‘Impulse’ after the pandemic was amazing” ilan shares. “But by November 2023, I’d played 70 shows in just over a year. The constant travel took its toll, and I had to come off the road to recharge by being in the studio again, explore new sounds, and work with fresh collaborators.”
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.
“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”.
ilan kicked off the year with opening track ‘40’ with Jasper Blunk, before releasing the title track with long term collaborators, Maor Levi and Giuseppe De Luca: marking the first time the three have collaborated on a record. Most recently, ilan teamed up with longtime friend and fellow progressive trance aficionado ALPHA 9 and vocalist H.E.A.R.T.S on ‘Paradise’.

With his album release later this month, ilan releases the fourth and final single with frequently partnered vocalist EL Waves, brother Jonny Bluestone, and new collaborator/producer Pieter T. Showcasing a slightly different edge to ilan’s production talents, ‘Mewo Fie’ is a melodic afro house track that combines ilan’s emotive talents with EL Waves' Ghanaian vocals.

ilan Bluestone’s 'Ignite' arrives on Anjunabeats on August 22 and is available to pre-order now on vinyl via the Anjuna Music Store. Check out the Ignite tour dates here: ilanbluestone.com/tour

[item value="10"] ilan Bluestone, Jonny Bluestone, EL Waves & Pieter T - Mewo Fie[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]ilan Bluestone's latest release, "Mewo Fie," is more than just a song—it's an emotional journey woven with sonic textures that captivate from the first beat. Collaborating with his frequent partner EL Waves, whose Ghanaian vocals radiate authenticity, his brother Jonny Bluestone, and new creative force Pieter T, ilan explores uncharted musical territories that push his expressive boundaries. At its core, "Mewo Fie" pulses with a warm, melodic heartbeat. The track unfolds with dreamy, flowing rhythms that seem to float effortlessly, yet beneath this ethereal surface lies a foundation of tribal grooves and deep basslines that ground the listener. The production feels like a delicate dance between the earthly and the otherworldly—each beat resonating like footsteps on a sun-soaked journey. The vocals are haunting and evocative, carrying a timeless quality that lingers long after the track ends. EL Waves' voice, rich with cultural depth, intertwines seamlessly with ilan's emotive soundscapes, creating a tapestry of sound that feels both intimate and expansive. The melodies are sun-kissed, shimmering with a golden glow that evokes images of distant horizons and heartfelt memories. What sets "Mewo Fie" apart is its ability to stir emotions without overwhelming the listener. The production process seems to have been guided by a desire to tell a story—not just through lyrics but through every note, every pause, and every subtle shift in rhythm. It's a track that breathes, inviting you to lose yourself in its dreamy, traveling essence. In "Mewo Fie," ilan Bluestone doesn't just showcase his production talents; he invites listeners into a world where music transcends boundaries and speaks directly to the heart. This is more than a song—it's a sonic embrace that resonates with pure gold. Love IT [/content]

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The superb duo Francesco Diaz & Jay Frog collaborate for the superb anthem Arabian Nights that has been edited by Melsen. The result is a prime time weapon of mass destruction that can be used in clubs and festival arenas. Tribal drums, and pulsating basslines with flute melody combined perfectly in the breakdown with the superb ethnic style vocal that will stay in your head as long you hear it. Ibiza and summer festivals can not escape this monster tune so watch out! Love It  [/content]
