Electronic Architecture

　　Trance stalwart Solarstone has unveiled details of a big new project – an ambitious double CD compilation called Electronic Architecture. 　　The compilation itself draws on a 6-month A&R mission by Solarstone, and consists entirely of upcoming material for his Solaris label. Plenty of new talent has been unearthed, alongside new bits from familiar names like Katcha, Tarrentella, Saints & Sinners and Breakfast, and he’s put a lot of emphasis on the visual aspect – with the sleek artwork to be carried through into the live visuals that will accompany the subsequent global tour. 　　"For me, the visual aspect of this project was crucial from the outset” he explains. “To have such a rich new musical tapestry and not represent it with an equally beautiful visual package would have been a huge missed opportunity. This album represents exactly what I stand for as an artist, producer & DJ. The musical progression through progressive house, breaks, soft-tech and trance is the CD equivalent of a 3 hour Solarstone club set, and it’s committal to plastic has been long overdue. This is the music I love to listen to. It is inspirational in its inventiveness, musically ambitious and never formulaic or predictable. This is an album that I want your finger to pause upon whilst browsing dusty CD shelves in ten years time, for both its aesthetic and auditory qualities" 　　We’re promised “multi-level mixing” and a mix of genres thusly: 　　“45% Progressive 　　35% Trance 　　10% Soft-tech 　　5% Breaks 　　5% House 　　100% Solarstone”
