If there’s one thing a superstar DJ will learn after years racking up frequent flyer miles and playing for thousands of fans, it’s that they are only as prominent as their latest album tour. Award-winning Ferry Corsten, someone who can easily be referred to as the DJ’s DJ, has taken this advice to heart and emerged as one of the most prominent Dutch jocks in the world. Through constant touring, fan outreach, a weekly radio show and podcast, and an abundance of self-produced dance hits, he has managed to captivate the imagination of dance music fans around the world.

Ferry Corsten – who was named Best Producer of the Year by the Ericsson Music Awards and Best Trance DJ by the Ibiza DJ Awards, and consistently ranked as one of the top DJs in the world – is best know for his creativity as a music producer and his unique up-tempo, big-room trance and house sound. His DJ performances never fail, as fans keep coming back and wanting more. It is a chest-pounding sum of the electronic music influences he turned to, go-ing as far back as the age of nine when he started collecting records.

In 2010 Ferry introduced the unforgettable Once Upon a Night compilation series, which became his vehicle for touring, sharing upfront music, and shining the spotlight on bright new talent. This year, Ferry’s fans can also look forward to his upcoming artist album, which will present his always-cutting edge take on electronic music. For now, the details are strictly confidential, but Ferry assures us that he’s fully committed to conjuring the right hook lines and melodies while bringing about some exciting collaborations. “It’s definitely going to be an album that you can classify as trance, but it’s way more groovy and way more danceable.”
