These guys have been around for many, many years and I highly, highly respect them. Having Paul Oakenfold as one of your biggest fans cannot be a bad thing. Their DJ skills are just as good as their production skills...

The man himself gives Solarstone a pretty good write-up. Although the Oakenfold bit doesn't really carry much weight these days!

back then they were still famous for their respectable stuff on Hooj. Before they went solo and turned to cheese such as the rain stars eternal album. Horrendous cheesy stuff.

It's not really them so much as it is he now. I enjoyed the Solaris Architecture album, but his solo productions are pretty damn awful since the split.

I hope ya'll keep this thread going with reviews of how the show goes and such. I've never heard a JOOF set or even detailed reviews on one.
If some one would be so kind as to post a classic or recent set by the dj in question i'd appreciate it.

I saw him 3rd October when he came to Auckland.
The last time he came was a couple of years ago but the venue backed out last minute and didn't play so i was more than ready for his return.
He play at Godskitchen and was on at 330 to 5 after Cosmic Gate so got straight into the Psy.
It was great timing as everyone was ready to take it up a notch.
He played some Wizzy Noise, 00.db and ended with "Deeply Disturbed" and "Becoming Insane".
Lots or rolling basslines and and immense amount of acid
I am finding it difficult to imagine what "downtempo minimal jungle techno" would sound like.

Better than Solarstone's last album, I'd wager.
I guess you could write a minimal techno track with lots of pads and atmospherics at about 90bpm, and then add a bunch of double-tempo breakbeats over the top. You should give it a go, actually.

It's 120 BPM Minimal Track with a techno mainlead and a cowbell.
