Solarstone

2025

It’s been a minute since Solarstone’s last album. (Actually, it’s been several million of them, as ‘island’ was released five years ago!). In that time life’s given us all plenty to ponder, and Rich Solarstone’s no exception to that. At a point in time where everything is supposed to streamline, Solarstone’s experience might better be described as ‘mainline’. He became a husband, a father again and watched his firstborn come of age. A lot of new perspectives are naturally going to follow that. No stranger to pouring his creative force, thoughts and feelings into his music, that reaches an apex this month with the release of his ninth album. 

Make no mistake … this one’s coming from deep within.

"“Good music demands that you push yourself, and the best of it also forces you to take risks … ” says Rich Mowatt, “and I’m more than aware that ‘innermost’ inherently carries some of the latter. 
In its native form, this is not a club album, but then I didn’t see 2020’s‘ island’ as one either. I believe that area is better addressed by my singles ‘(Shards’, ‘Hope’, ‘Sovereign’ ,‘Thinking Of You’, and so forth), and the Pure Trance albums” (three editions of which have been released since 2020).  That leaves latter-day Solarstone artist albums more open to explore …to range, so the clubbier tracks that do exist on ‘innermost’ are woven into a broader sonic texture.”
I feel that tough is good”, he continues. “Hard … is good. It never, ever seems like it when you are in the middle of it, but without going through those, life’s highest highs can’t be felt to their fullest. At its core that’s what ‘innermost’ is about. It’s certainly my most honest longplayer to date, as well as my most polished. It took five years to make so there’s no excuses for it not to be!”, he jokes. 

An incredible album, brimming with honesty and clarity, ‘innermost’ holds nothing back. You can find it through all good sales and streaming sites from June 12.

Watch Out (Extended Mix)

Liverpool-based duo Tigerblind drop their „Vitamin E“ EP on Diynamic.
Opening track „Cosmic Urges“ is like an evening under the Ibizan sky - drive your convertible through the warm summer night, look past Es Vedra and just take it in.
„Vitamin E“ is a nod to 90s rave culture, with all its colorful elements - don’t fight it, just enjoy the ride.
And „Flight or Fight“ is a proper dance floor battle royal, so tape your hands and get in the ring.

As 2025 unfolds, we waste no time in unleashing our next chapter. For our ninth release, we welcome Ukrainian mastermind Gene Richards Jr.

Known for his raw, uncompromising energy, Gene delivers 4 tracks rooted in ghetto-driven rhythms and industrial. The intensity only builds with two standout remixes: UK legend Mark Broom injects his classic mechanical funk into the title track, while Spain’s rising phenomenon DJ Swisherman, brings an electrified bounce that reimagines the groove through his distinct, playful lens.

This is no-holds-barred techno—pure, percussive, and primed for peak-time chaos.

Ride This D is designed to detonate.

Releasedate: June 13, 2025

Available for pre-order through our Bandcamp!
