Join Solarstone and Orkidea for a deep dive into the making of the upcoming Solarstone & Orkidea present Pure Trance XI – Live in London. In this 30-minute interview, they discuss the full creative process behind PTXI — from track selection and A&R scouting to building a seamless four-hour journey.
For the first time in the series’ history, a Pure Trance album has been created entirely within a live club environment, preserving every transition, atmosphere shift and dancefloor moment exactly as it happened. Recorded as a four-hour live mix in London, Pure Trance XI captures the energy and emotion of the dancefloor in real time across 44 tracks, featuring brand new music, hidden gems and exclusive remixes.
The duo share stories about collaborating remotely, hunting for hidden gems, working with producers across the scene, and why they chose to capture the mix live instead of in the studio. They also talk about the evolution of the Pure Trance series, the challenges of compiling a modern trance album, and the philosophy behind creating emotional long-form DJ journeys.
Whether you’re a longtime Pure Trance follower or curious about the process behind crafting a compilation of this scale, this conversation offers a rare behind-the-scenes look into one of the genre’s most respected series.
