Dubbed the crossover king Ferry Corsten has now expanded to everything from electro house, trance and techno. With his latest album 'Twice in a Blue Moon' and first single release 'Radio Crash' which has been played all around the world by Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk and Above & Beyond, the Dutch Superstar looks to be heating up the charts once again.
Ferry Corsten is currently the #6 DJ in the world (DJ Magazine). The Dutch superstar has consistently been voted one of the top 10 DJs in the world (DJ magazine's definitive Top 100 DJ chart) for five years. His style is so singular that even synthesizer manufacturer Roland has commissioned a Corsten sound bank for their new SP-555 sampling unit.
He has also used his high profile for good, serving as an ambassador for the KidsRights Foundation, which increases awareness of the plight of disadvantaged children worldwide.
Ferry has collaborated with the likes of: Tiesto, Vincent de Moor, Robert Smit and has remixed for the likes of: U2, The Killers, Moby, William Orbit, Public Enemy, Ayumi Hamasaki and more.
Thanks to CREAM, Onelove and of course Ferry Corsten we have an exclusive one on one with the man himself. DJvibe.com quickly caught up with Ferry just before he embarks on his new Aussie tour Twice in a Blue Moon- The Experience presented by Cream. Although a very short but sweet interview we thank Ferry for his time.
First song ever remixed?
Ferry: Wow, I can't believe that I can't remember. I can tell you my last remix though... just finished a remix for Solarstone - Late Summer Fields!
Knowledge you can pass on to amateur DJ's?
Ferry: Do your own thing. Follow your on path. You'll get a lot more credibility (and respect) when you do.
The hottest dance song right now?
Ferry: Air Guitar - Breakfast
Current personal favorite dance song?
Ferry: Gabriella Skye. I've just started playing it recently during my TIABM: The Experience shows and it's great to see the crowd react to the song I've made for my daughter!
Favorite song of all time?
Ferry: Love tracks from the 80's and one of my favorite composers is Vangelis.
Personal tip for DJvibe readers.
Ferry: Don't forget to bring your laptop with you when you get off a plane!
Thanks for your time!
Ferry: No worries!
