Rich Mowatt

Solarstone (also Solar Stone) is British keyboardist, trance music artist and producer, Rich Mowatt.

Formed in Birmingham in 1997, the group's original line-up included ex-pirate radio DJ Andy Bury. In 2007, growing differences in musical taste and direction resulted in the two founding members parting company.[1]

Although best known for producing melodic trance and Balearic house, Solarstone's output also embraces progressive house and chill-out music.
