Solarstone's Seasonal Message!
"Here inside the 10 inch thick walls of the SolarHome, protected from the wildest elements of the winter weather, the fairy lights have come down from the loft and the tree - an unusual 18ft evergreen Prussian/Norweigian crossbreed! - has been erected dangerously close to the blazing hearth (that's olde English for 'large fireplace'). Dafydd Rees Jones, the local butcher - (purveryor of Camarthanshire's finest hung rabbit & sheep since 1898) is under starters orders and the greengrocer (that's: vegetable vendor), well 1 of his wheels came off his cart whilst trying to deliver my 88 Ibs of roasting carrots & parsnips. Yes, Christmas is about to descend upon the world once again and with it hopefully some good cheer! Wherever you are in the 4 corners, my best wishes to you and yours - when it gets here, a very, very Happy Christmas!"
SWARM001 - Debut Release!
It started in February this year when Solarstone announced the creation of solarSwarm - an inner circle of the most dedicated Solarstone fans in the world, with Swarmers enthusiastically assembling through the early months of the year Rich announced that his label Insatiable Records was to become solarSwarm Recordings, and things started to take shape in earnest (as did the hunt for the first releases!). Now we have it, the very first release on the worlds very first - and only - social network record label. Solarstone is the only artist to have a label run and supported by a +100-strong commitee who choose all music and art! 'Lost In Silence' is the work of stunningly talented Huddersfield based producer Adam Fielding. With retellings from Swarm choices Elfsong and Estiva, we're extremely proud to have pulled this first release out oear. In July, Rf the bag, the solarSwarm cogs are turning and the people have spoken! More info below... 'SWARM001' is released in January 2010.
Solarstone Label Collective Update!
Mark Pledger Ft Melinda Gareh 'Time Stands Still'
Already pulling in rave reviews in IDJ, Tillate and DJ Mag (where it took the Money Shot prize in the September issue), 'Time Stands Still' has also seen heavyweight remix support from Armin on ASOT & Above & Beyond on TATW. Mark and Melinda have created something really very special here – we think the perfect balance of sparkling production and heartstring-plucking vocals. The rework comes from remix King of the Hill Andy Duguid and its out (to kick the new decade off just right!) on the 4th of January 2010.
Stacker 'Tell Me Why'
Based upon the riff from Bronski Beat's 80's smash 'Smalltown Boy', this relentlesss trance pounder has been burning a hole in Solarstone's CD wallet for 12 months now. Despite the erroneous title (which alludes to another Bronski hit), the Club Mix is peak time trance in it's purest form, with a to-the-point breakdown and a pay-off to die for. Haris C puts his own slant on the track in his trademark style - all sparkling arpeggios and dancefloor friendly twists & turns. Info hit: if you didn't know, Stacker is an alter ego of Argentina's Heatbeat.
Adam Fielding 'Lost In Silence'
Adam Fielding is a UK based electronic musician specialising in blending rich soundscapes with strong melodies to create music that is both diverse and accessible, while retaining a strong emotional undercurrent. 2008 saw the release of his debut album ' Distant Activity' in which Adam combined elements of atmospheric electronica with dance, shoegaze and symphonic sensibillities to create a unique musical experience.
