His massive sold out shows everywhere is a testament to his global fanbase leaving an indelible mark after every set.

The track - one of, if not the first Balearic Trance anthems - has been re-released 3 times and has sold in excess of 1⁄2 million copies. Remixed in 2002 by Armin van Buuren, its an instantly recog- nizable sunset-sound legacy that can still be heard in tracks today. His dominance and relevance in the scene is clear today as it was back then with his latest Pure Trance Volume 6 and Pure Trance Volume 5 mixes win-ning top plaudits in the Trance Podium Awards of the last two years. Very few DJs and producers can lay claim to always being ahead of the curve constantly reviving and redefining this powerhouse genre as Solarstone does. This will be a night to remember as he takes charge of the immense Void Sound System speakers of Kyo to bring you anthem after anthem in a way only he can.
