REVIEW: Solarstone & Haris C - Ultraviolet out on Touchstone Recordings

01: Ultraviolet (Solarstone Pure Mix)
02: Ultraviolet (Haris C Mix)
03: Ultraviolet (Ehren Stowers Remix)

Our first release on Touchstone Recordings is remixed from the Solarstone album from which the label takes it's name - 'Touchstone'. The Original track was a laid back breakbeat driven melodic groover, here we have 3 slamming trance mixes.

Solarstone's Pure Mix takes the Original track's beautiful melodies and weaves them into a pure trance tapestry, peak time big room trance in all its widescreen glory. Haris C's Mix is a 140bpm full on driving melodic monster, with a lush pad driven breakdown. Completing the package is Ehren Stowers with a piano note layered arpeggio sprinkled melodic trance beauty.

   Dimitri Kechagias review: First of all Good Luck to the brand new Black Hole recordings baby label that is Touchstone headed by Solarstone. The first release is a super large anthem that proves that good solid anthemic epic trance will always be loved dearly and supported by the many trance fans worldwide. Ultraviolet that according to Rich Solarstone was produced with Haris C when he was in Cyprus after his performance in a local club is coming back with 3 exquisite remixes that will be hard to make your mind and pick up your favourite. First of all is Solarstone's Pure remix that is absolutely gorgeous melodic uplifting trancer with dreamy cinematic intro and bubbly psy trance influenced kick drum. The track is so good that will be hard even to believe your ears. Its like a mysterious journey  that you allow yourself to become one with it and feel its various layers of delicate melodies, gated female voices and warm strings. Its breakdown with the slow breaks and dubby effects will introduce you to a brand new reality that is Ultraviolet. Rich is on great shape and this remix will bring in your mind only some big synthesizer artists like Vangelis & Jean Michel Jarr. Haris C on the other side, is the Cypriot trance master who knows better than anyone else what a track needs to become a full on 140 BPM uplifting bouncer. Top notch production that is full on and straight to the point with cinematic breakdown and a climax that uplift your senses first and your body next to the highest levels. Maybe you thought the ultraviolet state is unreachable after listening this release you will change your mind. Thirdly the talented Ehren Stowers is on board as well with a nice energetic and very dynamic version with lighter tech influenced kick and acid overtones as well. If you wanted a tech trance meets uplifting trance alternative this version will satisfy you completely as it combines  both styles in the finest way. That's what I call authentic Trance. Love It.
