If ever there was a second for Pure Trance to take a yr off, it has to have been the least dancefloor-friendly one of many final century. By the identical token although, if there was a 365 for it to return (and with a vengeance, we’d add)… effectively you may in all probability see the place we’re going with this!
So it’s then that – on the cusp of hitting double-digits – the mix-comp collection spawned by Solarstone (Richard Mowatt)’s grassroots motion returns in 2021. The excellent news retains getting higher too, as (in a fashion of talking) Wealthy brings you two ‘Stones’ to your hard-earned. ‘V9’ sees Solarstone joined by Stoneface & Terminal for an additional year-crowning celebration of the very purest of the ‘Pure’.
Over the past decade, the albums’ make-up has crystallised round a number of core paradigms. Feeding into the style’s future, the invention and elevation of latest skills (of which the ninth quantity options many) stays central. As does Richard’s mission to return some much-missed names to its fore, making certain that the basic really feel of style is baked in. It additionally affords Wealthy the chance to – the place innate – introduce and trancify some music from outdoors digital music’s sphere. Additional, each Richard and Stoneface & Terminal (Henri Nix & Matthi Gierth) have taken the chance to (completely for the album) remix some tracks from the style’s daybreak.
That includes music from everybody from M.I.Okay.E. Push, Misplaced Witness, Basil O’Glue, Robert Nickson & Lostly (V6 & V7’s co-mixers by the way), to Lustral, Cosmic Child, Sunscreem and past, that arch defender of the Pure returns.
In case you’re seeing much more of Solarstone’s personal on his newest Pure Trance testomony, it’s not exhausting to think about why. With double the prep-time handy, it’s allowed Wealthy to inject much more of that Photo voltaic essence into his combine.
Including probably the most private of touches, ‘V9’ is the primary within the collection the place each observe featured has both been co-produced, engineered, remixed or Retouched by the person himself.
By means of Foxhill’s balm-some ‘Seaside’ and Misja Helsloot’s ‘Bashed’ (by way of his new Hel:sløwed alias), Wealthy’s introductory minutes convey the album cruise enchantment. Holding its personal memorable second for Solarstone this summer season (having opened his first post-lockdown set with it), Akkima’s ‘Moments’ follows. Considered one of his “all-time prime 5 tracks” in the meantime, Sunscreem’s ‘Love U Extra’ has been on his remix want checklist for over twenty years. In a rework that will but show to be his most interesting, by studio mastery he manages so as to add but larger emotional weight to ‘Love U Extra’s track. On the fruits of his combine – by Robert Nickson’s newest, Solarstone goes all-in on the galactic. A reinterpretation of the Bulgarian folks track that featured on The Golden Record, sent on the 1977 Voyager space missions), ‘Delyo’s Voyage’ delivers an (inter!) stellar finish to the combo.

The pandemic compelled me to postpone it in 2020, as we have been unable to convey it that important dwell expertise factor. It did give Stoneface & Terminal and myself the luxurious of extra time to supply sensible materials and work on unique remixes and edits although. Matthi & Henri put their coronary heart & soul into making it a real heads-down, club-focused journey, and in that, I thank them most sincerely. The album is a mixture of great music from each established producers and thrilling new names.
