Solarstone hit the UK singles chart with three singles . The most successful was the single "Seven Cities", which reached number 39 in 1999. The song was one of the first representatives of the Balearic Trance and was re-released 3 times. The song was sold over 500,000 times.

Podcast
Together with the trance DJ Robbie Nelson , Richard Mowatt has been producing the Solaris International Radio Show since 2004, which is broadcast on various web radios. In the first few years it appeared irregularly and was a mixture of interviews and new releases, since December 2006 (episode 33) it has been published as a weekly, two-hour podcast . It is alternately moderated by Nelson and Mowatt and contains new tracks and remixes , a half-hour guest DJ mix and, for over 3 years, at least one classic trance track from the late 1990s to 2000s. The choice of music is increasingly influenced by suggestions from members of the social network Solarswarm , which was founded by Mowatt. On March 14, 2011, the 250th episode was published.
