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.

⚡ Get ready for pure energy. This Electro House album is packed with thunderous drops, razor-sharp synths, and basslines built to shake the floor. From high-voltage anthems to dark underground stompers, every track is designed to keep the crowd moving and the adrenaline flowing. Whether you’re at the club, a festival, or locked into headphones, this is the sound of raw power and electrified rhythm. ⚡

Laser Storm

“Black Hole” came from a time when I felt pulled into the depths, close to rock bottom. But even in the heaviest darkness, there was a glimmer of light. This track is about that turning point: the moment you realize you can either be consumed or step toward something brighter.

Black Hole

“Digital Sunset” is a nostalgic dive into the neon haze of the late ‘90s — where VHS dreams flicker on static screens, and analog synths hum with the warmth of forgotten memories. Blending retro-futuristic melodies with modern production, this album captures the feeling of cruising under city lights, lost between the past and tomorrow.

Each track paints a scene — from the hum of an electric boulevard at midnight to the soft glow of CRT reflections on sleepless nights. It’s music for night drives, for rainy windows, for remembering what never was.

Let the synths shimmer, the drums pulse, and the nostalgia wash over you. Welcome to the soundtrack of a future that lived in the past.
