Silvermine are South African producer Chris Querido and California-based vocalist, Betsie Larkin. While we’re all familiar with Betsie’s solo EDM outings, Silvermine is an altogether different project that fuses Querido’s multi-instrumental abilities, intricate production skills & love of New Wave with Betsie’s evocative lyrics and indie-rock spirit. Their collaboration across the web - a veritable bridge of souls from the United States to Cape Town – resulted in ‘Flying’. Solarstone’s ‘Pure Mix’ was one of the highlights of the critically acclaimed ‘Pure Trance Vol. III’ compilation & was recorded after Richard fell in love with this previously unreleased song after hearing it courtesy of Betsie. Handling the original stems with care, Solarstone built upon the foundation of Querido’s beautiful musical elements with his signature ‘Pure Trance’ sound, resulting in a lush backdrop for Larkin’s plaintive love song. Now, the full-length version of Solarstone’s remix is now available for the first time.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Pure Trance recordings presents the outstanding project Silvermine that the beloved singer Betsie Larkin is involved along with Chris Querido. The first version to surface from this track is the magnificent Solarstone Pure mix that will blow you away. Straight forward euphoric trancer with certain melancholic side and the indie rock edge that Betsie brings with her performance. The track is steady, floating and flowing and involving. It manages straight away to capture your imagination and is impossible to resiste the urge to let yourself go and run on the dancefloor and start dancing around with a big smile in your face. Bubbly warm driving basslines, sparkling synthy chords, romantic piano touches and anthemic themes coming together to make you exactly what the title says to you and that is to give you the illusion that you fly up and away having amazing time in a world that you only know. If trance is your perfect escape from life this track will be right and exact for your liking. Great lyrics that crawl underneath the surface and target the soul along with driving basslines and sensitive melodies will definitely win your admiration and warm hearted support. #PureGold Love It
