Solarstone Presents Pure Trance 4 (Compilation Album)

Solarstone Presents Pure Trance 4 has been released by the Dutch record label Black Hole Recordings. This time around, Richard Mowatt enlists the talents of Italian artist Gai Barone, who has this to say about being the latest co-mixer:

“There are so many aspects to consider when you mix a session: great tracks, amazing producers and a perfect flow!! I’ve tried to blend all these elements into my mix on this compilation, creating a mixture of deeper Pure Trance gems! I’m sure you will fall in love with this set, getting lost, as I have, in the harmonic details, tune after tune and beat after beat!”

Disc 1, which is mixed by Barone, includes tracks by Wellenrausch, Henrik Zuberstein, Mark Found, and Melodica, as well as Barone and Mowatt’s first collaboration called “Fata Morgana”. The UK resident Solarstone mixes Disc 2 with songs from Peter Steele, Ciaran McAuley, Liam Wilson, and Pulser.

Here’s what Solarstone has to say about this new release:

“The Pure Trance Movement is an organically evolving concept, & recruiting Gai is the logical progression for Vol. 4. Following on from Bryan Kearney’s full throttle mix on Vol. 3 I wanted to showcase a deeper, more progressive side of the Pure Trance Sound. Gai’s intuitive selection on Disc 1 is the perfect balance to my uplifting and driving selection on Disc 2; together they create a sonic journey which is my favourite of the series so far.”
