Solarstone - Pure Trance Vol. 10 (CD)

Release Date: 01/12/24

The whole ”Pure Trance”​ movement started life as a kickback against the dilution of the trance scene​.

Introduction.

Suddenly I find myself writing an introduction for the tenth – tenth! –
edition​ – of a compilation series that was itself created as a punctuation mark after a year of events and releases that took everybody in the trance world
(including myself) by surprise. The whole ”Pure Trance”​ movement started life as a kickback against the dilution of the trance scene​,​ instead aiming to celebrate and be proud of what first drew so many to the genre”s flame. Now 11 years
on​, ​Pure Trance has ​established itself as a its own bonafide scene ​in the ​
world of Electronic Dance Music – ​hosting festival stages and events on all
5 continents, boasting 4 record labels​ that have given a platform to countless new talents, a weekly radio show with a devoted listenership​ of millions, a
worldwide community of fans that have become friends and this critically
acclaimed compilation series that has now reached its 10th instalment.
The number 10 seemed a sort of punctuation point, which is why I decided
to take the reins of this 3-disc landmark edition and ​curate, compile and mix
the whole thing alone. Why 3​ discs? I wanted the trio of discs to represent
what one of our Pure Trance events sounds like – the flow of the thing, and to be a kind of rationale for the existence of the ​labels: Pure Progressive, Pure Trance, Pure Trance NEON & Pure Breaks. So… we have the deeper sound on Disc 1 (Pure Progressive) leading to the dreamy sound on Disc 2 (Pure Trance) and the harder sound… well, you get the idea, I hope it makes sense to you. Maybe it is all self-explanatory​ and you only care about what it sounds like – that”s what this is all about after all, right? It”s all about celebrating the sound
of Trance Music – the journey, the emotion of it. And this is of course why
Pure Trance exists.
