Ilan Bluestone

Since bursting onto Anjunabeats with his debut solo release back in 2012, London-based producer ilan Bluestone’s whirlwind journey through the international dance music scene has been nothing short of monumental. With a string of recent hits such as ‘Will We Remain?’, ‘Let Me Know’ and ‘I Believe’ under his belt, he now has an impressive array of career live performances at prestigious venues including London’s Wembley Arena, the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, EDC Las Vegas and New York’s Madison Square Garden to boot.

In the past year, ilan released his highly anticipated debut studio album Scars, with subsequent world tour, and performed at some of the biggest festivals worldwide including Tomorrowland, Ultra Europe and EDC Las Vegas with his performance at ABGT300 in Hong Kong with Above & Beyond still to come. His productions continue to be a staple in Above & Beyond’s DJ sets, and gain frequent support from other international DJ’s including Armin van Buuren, Axwell and Seven Lions.

At the core of ilan’s meteoric rise is his fanbase – a loyal and dedicated army of growing followers – who continue to flood to his shows to catch a glimpse of ilan’s explosive, uplifting sets. His fans have had much to savour this year with the release of Scars, and ilan shows no sign of letting up with a host of new material coming out of Bluestone Studios. He will also continue his heavy touring schedule for the remainder of the year with performances at Electric Zoo, Transmission Prague, and London’s Brixton Electric.

ilan continues to impress both fans and new listeners all over the world with his distinct blend of bass-driven grooves and uplifting synths. With countless Beatport chart-toppers in his already impressive catalogue, ilan looks forward to making an indelible mark in dance music history.

Andrew Rayel

Andrew Rayel

He’s the modern-day Mozart — today’s leading talent in the ever-growing electronic dance music scene.

He’s the pride of Moldova, known for his unique and very own sound. He is Andrei Rata, better known as Andrew Rayel.

Born on July 21st, 1992, his young age never stopped him from taking the lead amongst the next generation of EDM producers. Developing strong musical skills, he studied orchestral music and kicked off his producing career at only 13 years of age. It didn’t take long for the passionate music lover to translate his ideas into sounds. He created a truly unique sonic signature – one of piano power, harmonic balance, and euphoric tales. And so, years later, his originals and remixes are praised by many and loved by more. But, rest assured, the Andrew Rayel story has only just begun.

“Trance was the perfect solution, as it is a combination of melody, harmony and energy, elements that I prefer the most”, says Andrew Rayel. Having Armin van Buuren supporting his tracks on the world famous A State of Trance radio show had always been a dream of Andrew. And sometimes, dreams come true. His tracks ‘550 Senta’, ‘How Do I Know’ ft. Jano, ‘Aeon Of Revenge’, ‘Once In A Lifetime Love’, ‘ My Reflections’, ‘Horizon’, ‘I’ll be there’ , ‘Dark Warrior’ , ‘One In A Million’ and much more all made it to the show, often voted Tune of the Week and Future Favourite. The trance scene embraced Andrew’s refreshing sound, giving him a very warm welcome.
