SOLARSTONE PRES. PURE TRANCE 2
MIXED
BY SOLARSTONE & GIUSEPPE OTTAVIANI
Over the last 24 months the #PureTrance movement has swept
through the world of electronic music, driven by its flag-bearer, Solarstone. First
outlined by its debut mix-comp (still in Beatport’s bestseller chart one year
after its release), Solarstone’s now ready to bring its essence into even
clearer focus. Across 2 discs and 34, often exclusive or purpose-built tracks, Pure
Mixes and Retouches, Solarstone and fellow Pure practitioner Giuseppe Ottaviani
serve a future-proofed release that’ll be as relevant in your collection in 10
years time as it is today. With music from trance bedrock like 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, Walsh & McAuley and Driftmoon. Standby to receive your trance
refined, clarified and 100% Pure!

Solarstone
sets the mix’s early atmosphere with some rolling gear from the harmonic end of
Pure’s spectrum. The faraway 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.
On the release of the second album, Richard says: “Almost exactly a year ago we released Solarstone presents Pure Trance - Volume 1, an album which marked the beginning of a journey of rebirth and rediscovery. Since its release we have taken the Pure Trance message global with a host of Pure Trance Events that have not only invigorated but restored a sense of belonging to a growing & passionate audience worldwide, and finally the scene is sitting up & taking notice: Pure Trance music is alive & kicking, and right now on fire! I am proud to present this second compilation of brilliant music for all lovers of the sound of Pure Trance “

Arriving at its summit, Richard enters mash-up-mode, brilliantly splicing Ferry Corsten & Betsie Larkin’s ‘Made of Love’ and John O’Callaghan’s ‘I’ll Follow’ and further uniting Ben Lost’s timeless ‘Jump The Next Train’ over Franz’s ‘Emerge’.

“Tough to pull off, after the highly impressive ‘Pure Trance Vol.1’, but against the odds, this new outing is a huge step up again - 10/10, Album of the Month” – MIXMAG

Italy’s Giuseppe
Ottaviani comes off his spot, boxing clever with an overtura of toughened trance
logistics. He interplays the tracks of nu-bloods like John Mash, Colonial One
and Andrea Mazza with those of Darren Tate, Sied van Riel and other trance
establishment.

Giuseppe says: “over the last year I’ve played at Solarstone’s 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!”

Marking
Agnelli & Nelson’s remix-return, Ottaviani (or “the Grand Master of Energy”,
as MIXMAG recently christened him!)
charges the mix’s midpoint with a new version of Andain’s ‘You Once Told Me’.
Whipping Sneijder’s rebuild of his Aly & Fila collab ‘Brilliant People’,
James Dymond’s ‘Carbon’, Will Atkinson’s ‘Hemosa’ and others together, Giuseppe
brings about the release’s final perfect sound-storm. The album is out Oct 28th.
