Solarstone 'Touchstone' Launch Party @ OTR, Sheffield, June 25th

The ‘Touchstone' Launch Party @ OTR!

To mark the release of the new album and the start of what promises to be an incredible supporting tour, on June 25th quality trance beacon Off The Rails will play host to an all-guns-blazing, all-lasers-firing launch party. In one spectacular coming-together of Solar, Solaris and Swarmy-ness, the tribe of Stone will descend on Sheffield, ready to unveil the album!

On the night's musical menu, well naturally enough Rich will be playing an extended set in which he'll showcase for the first time all the new material he's been working on over the last 18 months. There will also be a LIVE Solarstone PA with Rich reteaming with vocalist Bill McGruddy. The pair have been working together since the late 90's, when they produced a clutch of electronic classics, including Z2 ‘I Want You' and 2nd Element ‘Underwaterfall'. On the 25th they'll be performing ‘Electric Love', ‘Is There Anybody Out There' and ‘Jump the Next Train' live for the first time - not something to miss!

The night will also feature many other DJs including Netherlands sensation Sied van Riel, recent Solaris Recordings debutante Mark Pledger, DJ Ange and OTR's residents Hidden Agenda.

Solarstone felt that the solarSwarm should also represented on the night, so back in March he launched an exclusive competition for one of them to win the opening set at the launch party. In and amongst some truly excellent mixes sat one from Jahawi (yes, he of Electronic Architecture fame). The young Kenyan's sophisticated, stylish prog-trance blend so took the assembled Solar-crew that it was named the victor! Jahawi will be flying in from Kenya specifically to play the event, and yes, it is indeed his UK debut!

The other star of the night, well that's Off The Rails itself. The Sheffield based trance night caused a seismic ripple to pass through club-land since their first events just 3 years ago. After quickly becoming known for truly world class DJ bills, first rate productions and a unique venue and atmosphere, OTR has given the UK club scene a much needed beat injection. If you've not yet, been then you're in for the night of your life!
