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 1⁄2 million copies.

Having championed trance’s true nature from his very first release, the last decade has seen Solarstone push its origin sound – almost singlehandedly – back to the top of the genre’s agenda. Through his gospel of #PureTrance – modernizing the genre’s heart, whilst ring-fencing its soul – it’s one which has been captured by a major mix-compilation series, worldwide Pure Trance club and festival shows, four record labels & its weekly radio show Pure Trance Radio.

Worldwide his Pure Trance shows have captured the imagination of hundreds of thousands in electronic music hotspots like Miami, Ibiza, Sydney & Amsterdam. Since learning the craft in the late 90s, he’s played some of the most renowned names (inc. Tomorrowland, A State Of Trance, Dreamstate, Creamfields, EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Music Festival & numerous others) and spun alongside the worlds best-known DJs many times over.
