Ferry Corsten
Hailing from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, Ferry Corsten’s illustrious career is exemplified by a passion for music that began as a hobby and spiralled into a full-blown profession, as he continues to push the boundaries of trance music as much today as much as he did in his fledgling career.
2017 saw Ferry place in DJ Mag’s Top 100 poll for the 7th consecutive year, making him the longest serving Dutch DJ in the ranking, and with past accolades and new projects taken into account it’s no surprise.
Ferry has been consistently at the top of his game since his sophomoric album under the System F. alias ‘Out Of The Blue’ in 1999, with the title track charting in the UK Top 20 singles chart, and the rapid rise during the early stages of his blossoming career continued with numerous remix requests, including remixes for U2, Justin Bieber, Moby, Faithless, Duran Duran and Public Enemy.
Ferry also partnered with Tiësto around this time for the now legendary Gouryella handle, a project Ferry relaunched in 2016 with the hugely popular ‘Anahera’ single, and later a Gouryella Live show gracing the stages of EDC, Ultra, Tomorrowland and more.
Ferry continues to break new ground in the trance world and beyond, demonstrated by his nomination for ‘Best Trance Act’ at the 2017 IDMA’s, and recently completed his first film score for the mystery/thriller ‘Don’t Let Go’, directed by David Gleeson and featuring Blade actor Stephen Dorff and Grey’s Anatomy’s Melissa George, which is set for release in 2018.
