For over a decade Solarstone (aka composer, producer & Dj Richard Mowatt) has been at the forefront of electronic dance music with a procession of revered club classics, all-out anthems & critically-acclaimed albums.
At the forefront of trance music’s nu-cool, his highly-innovative 2009 Electronic Architecture compilation album was nominated for a 2010 International Dance Music Award and prompted Tilllate to say that it was: “magical blend of music, art and design” that “recalled the understated magic of Sasha and Digweed’s first Renaissance albums”. His 2008 album 'Rain Stars Eternal' "traversed genre lines with its warm, melodic widescreen vision” (DjMag).
As a DJ, he spins at clubs around the planet and for globally-recognized names like Cream @ Amnesia, Ministry of Sound, Gatecrasher & Full-On-Ferry.
Releases from Solarstone’s label projects Solaris, solarSwarm, Crashing Waves & Molecule are the instrumental components of his highly individualistic sets and are consistently supported by the trance & prog spinning elite.
Solaris International, his radio show is broadcast across some 45 FM & Internet stations and with its fully-fleshed-out format has become a staple weekly listen for tens of thousands of electronic music devotees.
