Ferry Corsten is making the finest music of his life. The young prodigy who kickstarted the dance revolution in 1999/2000 and beat the likes of N.E.R.D (Muzik) to win numerous music awards has now become one of the most important dance artists of his generation. Ferry has continuously remained at the forefront of the global scene. A fitting place for an artist who’s had nine UK chart hits, sold one million mix CDs, and who is Holland’s most successful recorded export to the UK ever. Breaking new musical ground is a compulsive habit for the young Dutchman. With ‘Right Of Way’ (his debut artist album under his own name) he’s created a genre-defying blend of house, electro, breaks, trance and rock. The result is one of the most refreshing and exciting albums of 2004.
The single ‘Punk’s’ dirtier, more electro feel caught the ears of fans and media alike upon its release, and in the process, introduced Ferry to a whole new audience to add to his burgeoning legion of worldwide fans. Its follow up, ‘Rock Your Body’, is a zeitgeist shattering record loaded with influences ranging from the dischordant guitars of The Clash through to the proto-electro of Gary Numan; and Ferry's 10th UK hit!
Throughout the album you’ll find the kind of signature anthems that have made Ferry a worldwide star. The aptly titled ‘Sublime’ makes a perfect album opener with its dreamy, atmospheric trance-lite chords, whilst tracks like ‘Kyoto’ and ‘Star Traveller’ demonstrate Ferry’s dazzling ability to create trance that combines intelligent structures with beautiful melodies. The album finishes with the stunning ‘In My Dreams’, a blissed out down-tempo breaks track with a suitably sun-kissed piano-line.
‘Right Of Way’ confirms what many have believed for some time - namely that Ferry is one of dance music’s most exciting and original talents.
The brand new Ferry Corsten track ‘Fire’ is available now. The track with vocals by Duran Duran’s leadsinger Simon LeBon is being supported by DJ’s such as Judge Jules (Tried & Tested on BBC Radio 1), Armin van Buuren (A State Of Trance), Wessel van Diepen (Dance Department) and of course Ferry himself plays the track in his sets.
Furthermore we can tell you that ‘Fire’ already became Floorfiller on the Radio 3FM show ‘Ministry Of Beats’ and ‘Grand Slam’ on SlamFM. In the Armin van Buuren radioshow ‘A State Of Trance’ it was voted as ‘Future Favourite’ by the listeners of the show.
The CD has been released on Flashover Recordings and it’s available in all Free Record Shops in the Netherlands. On the internet you can buy ‘Fire’ at Dancegrooves. The vinyl release will include a smashing remix made by Ron van den Beuken. Check out the download section on Ferry Corsten’s website if you want to have a cool ringtone of 'Fire' on your mobile!
