Having started the year with his Stine Grove-vocal-led ‘The One’, the Pure Trance artist now releases a vocal number with Evan Henzi. Evan’s will be a fresh name to some, but (through his work with Gareth Emery, Ashley Wallbridge and others), possibly already embedded for others. His teaming with Kristina Sky and Danny Stubbs on Pure Trance Recordings’ ‘Rollercoaster’ may bring the quickest finger-snap of recognition.

Solarstone and Stine Grove have discog history together, though thus far it’s an incomplete one. Stine’s released her solo material on Pure Trance and has been remixed (on ‘Against The Flow’) by Solarstone.

Solarstone wrote himself an album during lockdown - an unplanned one obviously, and one - by his own acknowledgment - he wouldn’t have gotten to write in more conventional times. ‘A lockdown album’ by any other name - not the first and undoubtedly not the last.
