Orkidea Live at Dreamstate 2017

At this year's ADE something very special was born. On October 18th, at the height of Amsterdam'sannual EDM takeover, dance pioneer Solarstone showcased his new audio axiom. A roots return forthe genre, his is a rally against inorganic and trend-driven Trance, a rediscovery of what drew somany to the genre's flame. The reclamation has started: the code word is "Pure Trance". 

In the packed-to-the-rafters floating venueUndercurrent - where anticipation was sky-high -those lucky enough to have a begged, borrowed orbought a ticket were among the first to experience“Solarstone presents Pure Trance”. That night,alongside fellow forerunners Orkidea, GiuseppeOttaviani, Daniel Kandi and John 00 Fleming,Solarstone encapsulated his vision in a competitiondefying, wall to wall live event that revised Trance toits purest degree.
The crowd hoped it would be so - and subsequentlythe sheer relief and joy of the assembled masses uponconfirmation that "Pure Trance" is indeed the genuinearticle - the embodiment of the original Trance spirit -created an intensity which was clear & palpable andthe first to hear “ Pure Trance ” frontman Solarstonedebut exclusive material from the first instalment of hisnew ‘Solarstone presents Pure Trance’ compilationseries, which hits stores worldwide on 19.11.12 (2 CD/ DD).

For those who couldn't be there, Solarstone has now joined forces with Afterhours.FM to give all ofhis fans the opportunity to relive every second of that night in Amsterdam.

Tapio Hakanen aka Orkidea has released four full length albums for Black Hole, AVA and Universal Music. He is best known for classics such as Unity, YearZero and Nana and timeless remixes of Way Out West’s Killa, Aalto’s Rush and Tiesto’s Flight 643. Lately he has been one of the key creative forces in Solarstone’s Pure Trance movement and has had the pleasure of mixing the first compilation, releasing on the label and performing at their high profile events around the globe. Orkidea is also a member of the critically acclaimed VII DJ collective.

Throughout his career, Orkidea has been voted seven times as #1 DJ in Finland and two times the most popular DJ in Scandinavia and made it to the DJ Mag Top 200 and Tranceaddict Top 100 lists.
