As of the 20th July 2008 Solarstone (DJ & Producer Rich Mowatt) has left Deepblue Recordings to pursue other label interests. Following in the grand traditions of Remington’s Victor Kiam, Rich liked Solaris Recordings (the label Solarstone are released through) so much, he bought the company! Latterly, Solaris has emerged as a new spiritual home for Solarstone and played a huge part in the success of the release of the highly-acclaimed SS album ‘RainStarsEternal’ & its encompassing 25-date world tour.

The imprint will plug in to UK heavy-weight independent Pinnacle for distribution. With the label’s superb resources (which includes the state-of-the-art Green-List system), it will allow Rich the infrastructure with which to raise the label’s profile by many levels. Henceforth Richard will be taking over the A&R reigns at Solaris……

Solarstone - Spectrum

With both the ‘RainStarsEternal’ album and single now released and racking up great big reactions all over, it’s time to set loose another ‘RSE’ monster! Those familiar with the album version of ‘Spectrum’ - Well, get ready for a big surprise! This new ‘Parts 1 +2′ club version organically expands the original into an epic (and not a word we use lightly here!) speaker-saviour! Shifting into a whole new direction by Rich, it fills every second of its 10 minutes with warping, sweeping tom-tom driven loveliness!

First up on the ‘Spectrum’ remaps, we have those mightily on-fire Duderstadt brothers. Dirk & Marco have completed a rock-hard electro-lined treatment that has been popping out of Ferry Corsten’s speaker cones worldwide over the last month. And tying things up on the package is…

Solarstone Rain Stars Eternal

Over a year in its creation & representing the first music from Solarstone as a solo artist, ‘Rain Stars Eternal’ is the new ‘year one’ for founder member and driving force, Rich Mowatt.

Through tracks like ‘Solarcoaster’, ‘Speak in Sympathy’, ‘The Calling’ & the Tiësto caned ‘Like a Waterfall’, Rich has delivered 10 straight years of club smashes. His Top 40 hit ‘Seven Cities’ has sound-tracked tens of thousands of Balearic holidays and was rated as the best trance record of the last 10 years by DJ Magazine. Throughout that period Solarstone has torn through the production ranks, becoming infinitely synonymous with trance and succeeded in releasing nothing but the highest quality dance music.

This new album - the follow-up to 2006’s retrospective ‘Anthology One’ - starts to significantly…
