Tribute: Ferry Corsten

With only a few days away until Ferry Corsten and Giuseppi Ottaviani play Cream: Twice in a Blue Moon Tour, NewTranceMusic is dedicating this post to the legendary man himself. Our authors are picking their favourite Ferry song and what they love most about them.

Ian: My pick is of course, Beautiful. Why? The lyrics are simple yet stunningly elegant. While the production isn’t anything ground-breakingly new (but what is in trance really?), most importantly I chose this song because it represents what TRANCE means to me. It’s the way it makes you feel, the way it can change your moods depending on the song. It’s the way that everything is fucking beautiful when you’re with your loved ones and best friends. “There’s no where else i’d rather be, when you’re lying next to me, let the music carry us together”. Amen, Ferry and Debra Andrews. Amen.

Nguyen: It’s quite tough to choose a favourite song so I’m going with the two that get me pumped up the most.
1. System F vs Armin van Buuren – Exhale. 2 masters of trance working together to make a great track and that unique first sound you hear right at the start of the track is so recognisable.

2. Radio Crash. The first single off ‘Twice in a Blue Moon’ was the song I listened to just before having such a great time at Summafieldayze 09, so this brings back fond memories. :)

Matthew: Punk, Punk and Punk. Oh and Punk. First heard it on an ad on T.V. as apart of some compilation disc. From then on I was hooked onto trance! Punk is the reason I love trance.
