Pure Trance Radio
Pure Trance Radio is the latest incarnation of Solarstone’s long-running, widely syndicated radio show platform & an extension of the Solarstone-founded Pure Trance Movement, Pure Trance Events & Label. Now firmly established worldwide, this movement is a roots return for the genre & a rally against inorganic and trend-driven Trance – a rediscovery or what first drew so many to the genre’s flame.
Previously known as Solaris International, its weekly hour-long format focuses on the forward thinking sound of Pure Trance & includes features like the Progressive and the Uplifting Selections; It’s Not The Kind of Thing We Usually Play, the Big Tune and the Chill Out Moment. From its early cult following, over the last 8 years the show has developed into a tune-in essential for broad cross-section of the electronic dance community. Pure Trance Radio is broadcast worldwide across some 20+ FM stations to a listenership in excess of 8 million.
About
” ‘Pure Trance’ is a feeling, a passion which exists outside of contemporary musical fads and fashions. It is the bringing together of millions of fans for whom this music is a way of life.” – Solarstone
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 ‘Anthology One’ ‘RainStarsEternal’, ‘Touchstone’, ‘Pure’ and most recently the cryptically titled ‘. – – – – ’, he’s also released a quintet of critically revered longplayers.
