Solarstone Update

21:00 - July 16, 2011

by davehart

© Solarstone Solarstone is jetting off to Ibiza for the summer to join Ferry Corsten as resident at his brand new 'Full On Ferry' night at the also brand new Sankey's club on the Island. Details on that and an ambient edition of Electronic Architecture...

One of the most talented and musically gifted artists on the scene is without a doubt Rich Mowatt, otherwise known as Solarstone. He can construct a track like no other and his last compilation Electronic Architecture² is one still very much in favour with the CD player. With its mixture of progressive, trance, house and breaks the mix had a real depth of electronic styles. If for some reason the pace was a little too much for you then you may be please to hear of the relaxed edition, well, ambient edition strictly speaking. It’s one to relax to the max to! I’m sure he wont have much time to do that himself as he heads over to Ibiza for a brand new residency this summer for Ferry Corsten’s ‘Full On Ferrry’ night at Sankeys new Ibiza venue. Details right below for you.

Solarstone Ibiza Residency 2011

July 26th will see Rich heading to the White Isle for the first date of his new weekly residency run. Having established itself at the brand new Sankeys venue in the thriving hubbub of Playa D'en Bossa, Full On Ferry: Ibiza will be the place to get your summer Solar fix. He's setting up to rock the White Isle harder than ever over the course of the six-week residency and on the musical menu will include fresh-out-the-studio Solarstone tracks, new 'Touchstone' remixes, classics, upfront 'n' exclusive Solaris Recordings, Crashing Waves and Molecule gear and (naturally!) Electronic Architecture finery aplenty.
Full date details below, now run to the sun!

Electronic Architecture² TheAmbientEdition

Last month we promised you word of the second stage in the Electronic Architecture2 odyssey and with July breaking out all over it's time for the covers to come off! With Electronic Architecture's second roll of the dice completed, under a cloak of absolute secrecy Rich spent the first months of 2011 planning 'TheAmbientEdition'. On the 23rd of July the album will be rolled out, hopefully in time to coincide with you heading off to lie on a nice beach someplace.

Mix1 is fully focused on delivering an unbroken 80 minutes of seaside atmospherics and sunkissed sounds. The tranquilized, vocoded vocal of Kazusa & Shingo Nakamura's 'Dice' and the spider-ish synth-crawl of Aerium's Icedive start the (beach)ball rolling. Solarstone has transported the now highly recognizable shimmering sound-set of his latest single 'Big Wheel' far beyond the sunset horizon. From there the ocean-deep re-imagining of Janerio and Sovt's 'Dreams of the Sea', Jahawi's equatorially warm 'From Nairobi to London', Mike Saint-Jules' piano-lined 'Vespera' and the full beat-free immersion of Majera's 'Escapade' compete to out-chill each other.

The album's discs have two deliberate tonal slants, with the second providing a palpable shift away, towards enigmatic and more elegiac audio. The mystical Eastern tinge of Medway's 'Resurrection' launches the disc and is quickly followed by Piotro's film noir-ish 'Mist' and the long, held, evocative notes of 'Uncontrollable Day'. Further marking the mix's less-chilled, more-filmic lean is the lamenting, semi-dissonant electronica of Daniel Mahaud's 'Winter Solstice', the incredible live percussion of Cassino and Laben's 'Touchstone' remap and Elfsong's ambient re-touch to 'Eta Carinae'. The album culminates with an extraordinarily powerful half-speed retelling of Nick Stoynoff's 'Tokyo Nights' and Alucard's otherworldly (and infinitely Blade Runner-esque) 'Blanket Town'.

The CD version of the album will be out on the 18th of July and will come as a strictly limited edition release exclusively through the SolarShop! To secure your copy, hit this link now! Or if you're download inclined, the mp3 edition has just gone on pre-sale at Juno.

Don't Panic! Rich's Duran Duran 'Girl Panic!' Remix Out Now!

With 'All You Need Is Now' - the first single to be taken from Duran Duran's return to the album frontlines - becoming a download chart smash (hitting No.1 in 15 countries earlier this year!), the scene is set for what could be the biggest band comeback ever. When Solarstone - a huge fan of the group since their earliest days - discovered the original line-up were reforming, he reached out to Le Bon et al, offering to add some Solarstone club ammo to one of the forthcoming tracks!

The nod came back from the Duran camp and last week saw the official Edel release of the second single from the album, including Solarstone's white-hot, ready-to-rock club rework of 'Girl Panic!' Building the track from its low-slung throbbing 303 base up, Rich gives 'Girl Panic!' the full Smashing Atoms treatment. Layering in John Taylor's jamming, funk-fuelled bass guitar lines, he works them to their full potent effect. Delivering a full verse/chorus rendition of Simon Le Bon's fantastically future-retro lyrics and vocals. Post-break he begins to brilliantly twist, warp and phase them, bringing the remix up to a dizzying sound summit!

It'll be coming to a dancefloor near you very soon... but in the meantime though you can check it out via Solarstone's YouTube channel here.
