December 20, 2024
Over the last 2 years the #PureTrance movement has swept through the world of electronic music, driven by its flag-bearer, Solarstone. First outlined by its debut mix-comp, Solarstone is ready to bring its essence into even clearer focus. Across 2 discs and 34 mixes and remixes, Solarstone and fellow Pure practitioner Giuseppe Ottaviani serves a future-proofed release that’ll be as relevant in your collection in 10 years time as it is today. With music from Aly & Fila, John O’Callaghan, Darren Tate, Alex M.O.R.P.H., M.I.K.E. and Sied van Riel, it also features new rising talent including Suncatcher, Adam Nickey, Sneijder and Driftmoon.
Solarstone sets the mix early atmosphere with some rolling gear from the harmonic end of Pure’s spectrum. The unforgettable tones of Adam Nickey’s “Perfect Destiny,” the trance-transcendent float of Aerium’s “Horizon” and flute-like drift of Elfsong’s “Seldarine” form its opening minutes. Building the bridge skyward, Solarstone’s towering Pure rebuild of M.O.R.P.H.s “Eternal Flame” and his retouch of M.I.K.E.’s “Respire” open up the euphoric throttle.
Reaching its halfway point, Solarstone bomb-drops the deliciously ominous tones of his most recent Pure Mix of “Love Theme From Blade Runner.” Given sanction by the house of Vangelis’, alongside the Pure Mix of Zoo Brazil’s “Hearts A Legend,” it lends darker tones to the mix.
Giuseppe said. “Over the last year I’ve played at Pure Trance events in many different corners of the world. To have the chance to capture, in some way, their unique atmosphere as part of a mix compilation has been wonderful! I hope you have as much fun listening and dancing to my mix, as I had compiling mixing it!”
