From scene founding father to ringleader and flag-bearer of the Pure Trance movement, Solarstone (producer, composer & DJ Richard Mowatt) enduring influence stretches back almost as far as the genre itself. Releases like ‘Solarcoaster’, ‘The Calling’ and ‘Seven Cities’ are all benchmark classics of its pre-millennial period. The latter track – among the first of the Balearic trance anthems – has been re-released 3 times, and now sold in excess of ½ million copies. Remixed by Armin van Buuren amongst others, its instantly recognizable sunset/sunrise-sound legacy is still heard in tracks today. With the albums ‘RainStarsEternal’, ‘Touchstone’, ‘Pure’ , the ‘One’ box set, ‘island’ and most recently 'innermost', he’s also released six critically revered longplayers. Solarstone has long brought his sound to some of the most famous clubs, arenas and festivals on the planet. In Europe, those have come to include Tomorrowland, Cream Ibiza, Creamfields, A State Of Trance and Ministry Of Sound London, whilst further afield he’s rocked Academy LA, AgeHa Tokyo, Zouk Singapore, Dreamstate, EDC, Ultra Music Festival and numerous others.
