As it was at the start of his career, today, Ferry Corsten remains ever committed to the pursuit of sonic innovation. An ethos apparent in his catalytic album Out of The Blue under the alias System F (1999), with the title track climbing the UK Top20 Singles Charts. Through to his widely celebrated 6th studio album Blueprint (2017) and cinematic 2020 album As Above, As Below, produced under the revered ambient project FERR by Ferry Corsten.
Ferry has donned the Top100DJs poll consecutively since 1999, peaking at #5, making him the longest-standing Dutch artist to feature. A top headliner of choice by major events and festivals across the globe, Ferry has captivated crowds from Electric Daisy Carnival, Creamfields and UNTOLD to Beyond Wonderland, Ultra Music Festival and Tomorrowland.
Ferry’s creative outlets extend into label imprint Flashover Recordings and his weekly Resonation Radio show, which celebrated its 100th episode with a special live edition during Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) 2022. Earlier in 2022, Ferry was knighted by the Dutch King and Mayor as an Officer in the Order of Oranje-Nassau for outstanding contributions to music and debuted his What The F tour concept worldwide, which invites fans on a journey into Ferry’s catalogue of productions throughout the years in open-to-close sets.
Ferry Corsten now embarks on an escapade into the future on his latest single ‘Connect.’ It has been five years since releasing a studio album under his own name; the renowned Dutchman will drop his seventh long player in the coming months, with ‘Connect’ being the first instalment from this new artist project.
Where dark meets radiant, and anything is possible, ‘Connect’ embodies a scarcely found curious synergy and is a proper flex of Ferry Corsten’s sophisticated production style. From the growling bassline and vibration-raising melody to the ethereal tones and synth-laden break. The single is instinctively Corsten, yet progressive in sound and nature. At its core, ‘Connect’ is here to unite.
With over two decades on the frontline of electronic music, Ferry Corsten has served in Top 100 DJs Poll since 1999. During his career, he has innovated with renowned aliases such as System F, Gouryella, and ambient outfit FERR, with chart-topping success. Often heralded as a pioneer of turn-of-the-century trance, Ferry’s sound is boundless to the constraints of one genre. Transmitting influences of house and melodic techno to electro, you can expect the same enigmatic energy in his live DJ sets.
Today, fans can experience Ferry Corsten’s diverse musical range in its entire splendour through his ‘What The F’ shows. Which takes fans on a journey of his classic tracks, reimagined and remixed with a futuristic approach. Already 20 cities down, What The F continues its global reign in 2023 with new shows upcoming.
Furthermore, Ferry’s creativity expands into his imprint Flashover Recordings and weekly radio show Resonation Radio, broadcasting from the iconic ASOT studio.
Always a few steps ahead, the depth of sonic design that Ferry Corsten’s new album will entail can only be imagined. However, his debut, ‘Connect’ from the album, indicates the immense production underway.
To celebrate the release, he recorded a new exclusive mix for our Dancefloor Romancer mix series. Enjoy!
