    Kryteria Metaverse – Behind the Scenes

    “We partnered with Conduit for a series of virtual performances after they wowed us with the technology and its possibilities. The reception to the first airing on Insomniac TV and Nicky Romero’s Protocol show blew people’s minds and we are excited to deliver the forthcoming Kryteria Metaverse album using the technology next month. Big things coming!”

    Kryder

    Conduit has also used the game engine to create a series of trailers and visuals for ilan Bluestone’s upcoming album Impulse on Anjunabeats.

    “We have been working with Conduit on the new ilan Bluestone album campaign which visually has turned out to be a roaring success across our social media platforms and has brought the campaign and ilan’s visual world to life just how we imagined.”

    Amy Wiles from Anjunabeats 

     “Working with Conduit and their technology has been absolutely mind-blowing. The graphics and animation potential of the Unreal Engine and the creative ideas from the Conduit team are just on another level as they showed in the trailer for my new album ‘Impulse’. The Unreal Engine is the future of any CGI video and I’m excited to see this technology evolve and can’t wait to start using it as visuals for my live shows.”

    ilan Bluestone

    The underlying game engine technology used is the same that VFX studios including Disney rely on to create productions such as the recent Star Wars Mandalorian series and the Marvel CMU movies, amongst other CGI heavy productions. In terms of live performances, the action is captured via a series of virtual cinematic cameras that combine to create a sense of real connection to the artist and the performance. Instead of just big-budget Hollywood and video game productions, now everyone can benefit from this technology.  

    Conduit is at the forefront of this new technological development.  For prices and additional information, please visit Conduit’s official website.

    ilan Bluestone & Maor Levi – Hold On feat. Alex Clare 

    “We always got shivers while listening to Alex’s ‘Too Close’. It was a huge record in the U.K. As it turned out Alex was teaching a friend of ours to play the guitar. Another mate went to the same gym as Alex, so managed to get in contact.” 

    “We originally sent Alex a different instrumental to record on. He sent us the vocal back and we were so inspired by it that we decided to create a completely new record that fit his vocal better. ‘Hold On’ is about embracing every moment in life: “..it’s too short to be filled with tears.”

     ilan Bluestone & Maor Levi

    “Ilan put together some beautiful chords while I worked on the groove. We wanted the message of the lyrics to shine through and we think we achieved that. It’s a powerful track, and today, the song’s message feels more important than ever.”

    ilan Bluestone releases ‘Rule The World’ ft. Jan Burton

    Ilan Bluestone announced his final release of the year, “Rule The World” featuring Jan Burton, which is currently available to stream/download via Anjunabeats.

    Ilan Bluestone – Rule The World

    “Rule The World” is a fresh Ilan Bluestone anthem, tested first in front of a sellout crowd during his Group Therapy 350 set in Prague last October. Welsh producer and vocalist Jan Burton accentuates the track with smooth vocals after recently worked with Gabriel & Dresden on their albums The Only Road and Remedy. Burton has also contributed to Super8 & Tab’s 2010 debut album, Empire in addition to being the voice behind the Eric Prydz track “Niton (The Reason).”

    “I’ve always been a huge fan of Jan’s vocals, his lyrics are just pure poetry, and I had that in mind while composing the song. I had to perfectly complement the power of his words while writing the music, and the end result personally is one of my biggest and best productions. I think this song will resonate with people as a reminder that no fool should rule your world.”

    ilan Bluestone 

    “Rule The World is born mainly from sheer frustration as to the state of play globally for every living soul. We face great difficulties as a species in overcoming the emergencies we face environmentally, politically, and, as a result, emotionally. We must, as custodians of this beautiful world, “enquire about the rain”. We shouldn’t “need to be told” and we certainly must not bleed unnecessarily, but, if there is a fool running the show, progress simply stops and precious words go unheard.”

    Jan Burton

    Having been a difficult but productive year for Bluestone, 2020 saw releases “Black & Blue” with Andrew Bayer, curated a 20 Years Of Anjunabeats mix, launched a new project, Elysian, alongside Maor Levi and Emma Hewitt, and debuted his new alias, Stoneblue, via Monstercat with “Hypnotized.”

    Ilan Bluestone has recently announced a new release titled, “Paid For Love” featuring Gid Sedgwick, which is scheduled to be made available on November 13 via Anjunabeats and is available for pre-order here.

    “Paid For Love” finds Bluestone working for the second time with singer/songwriter Gid Sedgwick who worked with him and Maor Levi on “Can You” last year.  The track was handpicked by Above & Beyond for their Group Therapy 400 live stream back in September. Vibrant and anthemic, “Paid For Love” is a Bluestone classic.

    “‘Paid For Love’ is the first track I’ve written where I’ve had a hand in writing the lyrics. The song is about a personal experience I had in a relationship, and I feel like these lyrics speak to people who may have gone through similar experiences. I’ve felt such a strong connection with fans at my shows when they’ve been singing the words back to me. I wanted a vocal in the style of Depeche Mode, and Gid delivered!“

    Ian Bluestone

    “Paid For Love was the first song Ilan and I worked on together, and actually my first attempt at trance (Tronce) altogether. I’ve not looked back since! Prior to working on the track, Ilan had a clear direction of where he wanted the sound to go and the rest happened very naturally. After only a few tweaks and changes, it wasn’t long until Paid For Love was complete and ready for the big stage!”  

    Gid Sedgwick

    Ilan Bluestone has had a busy 2020. He released “Black & Blue” with Andrew Bayer, curated 20 Years Of Anjunabeats mix, launched a new project, Elysian with Maor Levi and Emma Hewitt, and had a debut release with his 138 Stoneblue alias titled “Hypnotized” on Monstercat.  Be sure to expect more music from him arriving on Anjunabeats in early 2021.
