Over the last six months European clubbers have turned heads en-mass and embraced a new, highly purified, ultra-refined order of trance. Solarstone’s crusade against trend-driven change in the genre has resonated deep, with tens of thousands rallying under the #PureTrance flag. Launched to rapturous response at lastyear’s Amsterdam Dance Event the movement is now poised to cross the Atlantic.
>> Note: Pure Trance: Vol. 1 – Mixed by Solarstone + Orkidea (2CD) is out now on Black Hole Recordings
Next month the ambassador of true trance is set to embark on his first U.S. Winter Tour. Prepare to witness the strength of Pure Trance!
“Pure Trance is a feeling, a passion which exists outside of contemporary musicalfads and fashions”, says Solarstone. “It is the bringing together of millions of fans for whom this music is a way of life. It’s the music itself that really does the talking for Pure Trance though. Not what’s said, so much as what’s heard. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been into trance for 12 weeks or 20 years, when you hear Pure Trance, you’ll feel it… and you’ll know.”
Stop One on this expo tour will be (where else but!) New York City, where on Feb 23rd Solarstone will be making The Big Apple feel just that bit bigger. Pachita in midtown will host the event where Richard will lay down 3hrs of Pure Trance at Pacha’s club-within-a-club.
From there it’s a hop, skip and giant leap over to the West Coast for a deuce of dates. On the night of March 7th its legendary San Fran nitespot Ruby Skye that’ll have its foundations shaken by the force of pure, driven trance. Richard will be expanding the P.T. clan and bringing fellow synth-slinger Giuseppe Ottaviani along with him. Just 24hrs later it’ll be LA’s turn for the same treatment. The Exchange club in downtown is the setting for Awakenings, who’ll be hosting up a storm for Solarstone Pres. Pure Trance.
Next in line will be the newly opened Aston Manor in Seattle, WA, where on Friday March 22nd Richard and Giuseppe will be joined by PureTrance-ologist/underground legend Thomas Datt.
Just 24hrs later the tour reaches its terminus stop. March 23rd sees the spectacular grand finale take place against the balmy backdrop of Miami’s 2013 Winter Music Conference. Roomservice in South Beach will usher in Rich and a full compliment of Pure Trance DJ envoys, including overlord John 00 Fleming, West Coast doyen Kristina Sky and Italian maestro Giuseppe Ottaviani.
If you’re near a major US metropolis and want to find out exactly how trance should sound, there’s no better opportunity than this. Full dates and details are after the Read more button!

Na negen succesvolle edities aan de Maasplassen in Roermond gaat het Nederlandse Solar Weekend Festival internationaal. Het creatieve, meerdaagse cross-over festival krijgt deze zomer een variant in Noorwegen en op het Spaanse feesteiland Ibiza. Solar Weekend Festival is een eigenzinnig meerdaags festival met een diverse muziekprogrammering, theater, interactieve bouwwerken en hedendaagse kunst. Misschien wel één van de meest creatieve cross-over festivals van Europa. Het festival in Nederland vindt plaats op 2, 3 en 4 augustus 2013 aan de Maasplassen in Roermond.
Elk jaar komen 25.000 bezoekers per dag samen om onderdeel te zijn van een experimentele, met elkaar gecreëerde, tijdelijke samenleving waar iedereen welkom is: Solar Weekend Festival. Bezoekers worden op een ware ontdekkingsreis genomen met live muziek en dj’s, een hippiemarkt, spelletjes, bijzondere cateraars, interactieve theatervoorstellingen, toekomstvoorspellers, graffiti-kunstwerken, bouwwerken en nog veel meer creativiteit in alle vormen en maten. Met twee volle festivaldagen en drie prachtnachten op de Solar strandcamping kunnen bezoekers genieten van een maximaal vakantiegevoel.
Na negen succesvolle edities aan de Maasplassen in Roermond in Nederland krijgt het creatieve festival nu ook twee varianten in het buitenland. In Noorwegen zal Solar Weekend Festival plaats vinden van 5 tot en met 7 juli op een mooi eiland in de buurt van het standscentrum van de hoofdstad Oslo. Creativiteit en een diversiteit van muziekstijlen zijn ook hier de rode draad en ook dit meerdaagse festival bevat een strandcamping vol verrassingen. Elektronische muziek, hiphop, raggae, jazz, R&B en disco-invloeden door voornamelijk Noorse artiesten houden je drie dagen lang aan het dansen. In Noorwegen lijkt het concept nu al goed opgepakt te worden en stromen de creatieve concepten voor het festival binnen. Eind maart gaan de Early Bird Friend Tickets voor Noorwegen in de verkoop voor €60 euro, waarbij twee tickets voor de prijs van één aangeschaft kunnen worden.
Voor meer informatie: facebook.com/SolarWeekendNorway.
In september, na de Nederlandse ‘moeder-editie’ op 2, 3 en 4 augustus 2013, trekt het team naar Ibiza voor een heel andere variant. Solar Ibiza Sessions, in het voormalig bungalowpark Punta Arabi Resort in het noordoosten van het eiland, moet van 10 tot en met 17 september een verzorgde week vol kunst, feest en ontspanning worden voor maximaal achthonderd personen. Deze week wordt op zondag afgesloten met een festival met diverse podia en een beachparty, waarbij zowel bands als dj’s op de line-up staan. Voor mensen die al op het eiland zijn, zijn er ook losse toegangskaartjes voor de festivaldag verkrijgbaar. De Early Bird Tickets voor Solar Ibiza Sessions zijn nu voor €399,- verkrijgbaar op: www.timocoibizatravel.com/#!solar-ibiza-chill-week/c13db.
Kunstenaars en creatieve geesten uit binnen- en buitenland laten hun gedachten de vrije loop op het festivalterrein en bouwen een week lang aan een creatief dorp. Naast internationale artiesten, trekt het festival steeds meer internationale kunstenaars en is zij dit jaar een uitwisselingsprogramma aangegaan met creatief collectief Fayst uit Berlijn. Het festival, dat bekend staat om zijn Limburgse toegankelijkheid, verwelkomt al een aantal jaren internationale toeristen en backpackers vanuit de hele wereld.

This Monday we have got 1 sizzling hot show to enjoy, ofcourse that has to be another episode of The Lazy Rich Show at 10pm CET! Don’t let the name fool you as this fast rising electro star is far from lazy – after only 2 years in the studio Lazy Rich has more chart-topping releases under his belt than most artists achieve in their entire career. And he means business; Lazy Rich’s music is played by some of the worlds biggest electronic music artists such as David Guetta, Fatboy Slim, Sander Kleinenberg, Judge Jules and DJ Dan.
This UK native now living in Canada, is also the head of his own label “Big Fish Recordings”, and has a plethora of artists across the globe that have assisted in positioning his label as a formidable force in the dance music scene. After achieving a slew of #1’s and Top Tens on both “Beatport” and “TrackItDown”, alongside a number of plays on BBC Radio 1, Lazy Rich has had the opportunity to play sets all over the world, destroying dance floors from Miami to Ibiza.
The future looks incredibly bright for this rapidly rising star – gut-wrenchingly intense, obnoxiously funky and audaciously epic, Lazy Rich makes sick stupid beats to get floors bumping.
Enjoy!

Markus goes TransAmerica… Coast-to-coast, 20+ dates, touching all compass points on the map and into many of America’s most famous clubs and venues. This will be the DJ tour rebooted, changed-up and re-imagined! Through the mid-spring months Markus Schulz will be hitting the open road for his first U.S. bus tour.
“This has been a particular dream of mine for quite a number of years: the American DJ tour done differently”, says Markus. “Now it’s locked and we’re priming this to be a unique experience… for you, me, all of us! I’m going to be coming round your way this spring with something musically and visually very special indeed. I hope you’re ready!”
Following in the footsteps of many musical legends, Markus Schulz will be stepping aboard his new ‘home-away-from-home’ for 4+ weeks of on-the-road madness! For his biggest ever successive run of US dates, the holder of DJ Times magazine’s 2012/2013 America’s Best DJ title is bringing his singular tour vision to your city.
Explaining the genesis of the bus tour, Markus says: “This was born out of desire to get as hands-on with every aspect of a tour as its possible to get. This is Markus doing it Markus’ way! The sound, the light, the production, the DJs… and, yes, the Bus – it’s all on me! I’m going to be working overtime, spending every waking moment, day & night making sure this is the most incredible time you have inside a club in 2013.
That aside there’s also going to be the opportunity to see more and experience more of this country, both the places and the people. I spend so much time every year, up in the clouds, flying around the States. In terms of this tour, this is my opportunity to do America in a different way than any other DJ.
Wherever you are in the world, city-by-city, you’ll be able to follow Markus’ interstate adventures through his travelogue video-updates on his YouTube channel and the tour-journal on his website and Facebook. Throughout Markus will be in front of the lens, followed by a documentary crew every step of the way, covering the tour for an upcoming video release. So if you are in the vicinity get to the shows and get yourself on-screen!
“This is going to give me the chance to play not only the cities I’ve loved to rock for many years now, but also places I’ve either never spun or haven’t managed to get back to for too, too long. That’s how wide the scope of it is. Am I going to be getting behind the wheel of the Markus Schulz tour bus at some point? Damn straight. So if you’re out there and you catch sight of my ‘temporary tenement on wheels’, don’t be afraid to lean on your horn and say ‘Hi’!”
