Ferry Corsten - Don’t Go (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) '2019

Tracks list

Active since the early 90s, Dutch DJ/producer Ferry Corsten is one of the most
prolific and commercially successful trance artists. His biggest hits helped set
the standard for the euphoric, melodically rich trance sound that was highly
popular during the late 90s and early 2000s, and his sound continued to evolve,
embracing electro, pop, and even hip-hop. Including collaborative projects,
Corsten has released music under dozens of monikers, with System F and Gouryella
(initially a collaboration with fellow Dutch trance heavyweight Tiësto)
making the biggest impact. However, since the mid-2000s, the majority of his
output has been released under his given name. Hes released dozens of DJ mix
albums, including several volumes of the Trance Nation and Once Upon a Night
series, on labels such as Ultra, Ministry of Sound, and Moonshine. A regular at
dance festivals such as Electric Daisy Carnival and Tomorrowland, he has toured
the world extensively and performed on nearly every continent. He has won or
received nominations for numerous DJ and producer awards, and often appears on
DJ Magazines annual Top 100 DJs poll. Corsten operates the Flashover Recordings
label, and he hosts the popular Corstens Countdown radio show.

Born in Rotterdam in 1973, Ferry Corsten got into dance music at an early age
and started DJing and making music as a teenager. Along with his friends John
Matze, René de Ruyter, and Robert Smit, Corsten released a techno EP under
the group name Spirit of Adventure in 1991. The project evolved into the
Tellurians, and their sound became harder and darker, reflecting the hardcore
techno scene that was becoming popular in their home city. As the decade
progressed, he continued producing techno, acid, house, and hardcore tracks
under names like Free Inside and A Jolly Good Fellow. In 1995, at the age of 21,
he was the winner of the dance category of De Grote Prijs van Nederland, a
prestigious award given to emerging Dutch musicians. In 1996, he released his
debut full-length, Looking Forward, under the name Ferr. Issued by the Nutrition
label, the album was an eclectic set of tracks ranging from Detroit-influenced
techno to drumnbass and downtempo. He also released a novelty Christmas album,
Santas X-Mas Dance Party, under the name DJ Sno-White. Corsten also scored his
first charting hit in 1996, when Dont Be Afraid (under the name Moonman) made
the U.K. singles chart. Continuing to produce singles at a rapid pace, he scored
another big hit in 1997 with Im in Love, an uplifting trance track co-produced
with frequent collaborator Smit under the name Starparty. The two also started a
label called Tsunami, as part of Dutch dance company Purple Eye Entertainment.

In 1998, Corstens track Air (under the Albion moniker) was released by leading
trance label Platipus. The soothing, summery tune became a staple of DJs like
John Digweed and Paul Oakenfold, and was remixed several times. Corstens
popularity exploded in 1999, as trance was ruling dancefloors as well as the pop
charts. Anthem Out of the Blue, his first single under the System F moniker, was
released in February, and became a massive hit, hitting the Top 20 of the U.K.
singles chart. Corsten also had hits in collaboration with Tiësto (as Vimana
and Gouryella), and Vincent de Moor (as Veracocha), and remixed popular trance
tracks by Art of Trance, Matt Darey, and Cygnus X, as well as more mainstream
artists like Faithless, Moby, and William Orbit (his version of Barbers Adagio
for Strings). He also began releasing his first mix CDs, including the initial
volumes of Trance Nation and Artist Profile Series 1: Solar Serenades for
Tiëstos Black Hole Recordings. Corsten was named Producer of the Year by
Muzik Magazine, and received another Dutch music award, the Zilveren Harp. The
second System F single, Cry, appeared in 2000, and was also a major hit. The
projects full-length debut, Out of the Blue, arrived in 2001, containing the
previous two hits as well as Soul on Soul, a collaboration with Soft Cells Marc
Almond, and Exhale, co-produced by Armin van Buuren. At the end of 2001,
Tiësto confirmed rumors that he had left the Gouryella project, and Corsten
continued using the name, releasing Ligaya (co-produced by John Ewbank) in 2002.
Also that year, Corsten released Punk, an electroclash-leaning single under his
own name, which became a hit.

The second System F album, Together, was released by the Japanese label Avex
Trax in early 2003. Right of Way, Corstens first production album credited to
his own name, appeared in late 2003. The album included Punk as well as an even
bigger hit, Rock Your Body Rock, and hit the Top Ten of the U.K. album chart.
Continuing Corstens string of mix CDs and compilations, Infinite Euphoria was
released by Ministry of Sound in 2004. Corsten also released a double-CD mix
celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Dance Valley festival. In 2005, Corsten
left the Tsunami label and initiated Flashover Recordings. His first album for
the label was 2006s L.E.F. (Loud Electronic Ferocious), a diverse set featuring
guest appearances by Gang Starrs Guru, Howard Jones, and Duran Durans Simon
LeBon. The albums blend of styles led a website to refer to Corsten as the King
of Crossover. In 2007, Corsten started his popular radio show Corstens
Countdown, and performed the first Full on Ferry concert at Rotterdams Ahoy
Stadium. He also released a remix of Public Enemys classic Bring the Noise,
furthering his crossover appeal.

In 2008, Corsten released Twice in a Blue Moon, a more reflective, less
party-ready album inspired by his marriage and the birth of his daughter. A
remix album followed in 2009, as Corsten took his Twice in a Blue Moon: The
Experience tour across the globe. Corsten recorded a set for BBC Radio 1s weekly
Essential Mix program in 2010. He also released Champions, a System F remix
album, and started a new mix CD series called Once Upon a Night. Following more
extensive touring, Corsten released the full-length WKND in 2012, including
tracks with Aruna, Betsie Larkin, and van Buuren. He also launched a monthly mix
show called Ferrys Fix, while still producing the weekly Corstens Countdown.
Corsten and Markus Schulz formed the duo New World Punx in 2013, debuting with
the single Romper. In 2015, Corsten released a series of Hello World EPs,
eventually compiled as a full-length. He also released a new Gouryella single,
Anahera, which was easily the most successful trance track of the year, and he
launched a worldwide Gouryella tour. The single Neba and full-length From the
Heavens, containing updated versions of the older Gouryella tracks, appeared in
2016. Early in 2017, a Gouryella documentary, also titled From the Heavens, was
premiered in Melbourne, Australia. A few months later, the Gouryella single
Venera (Vees Theme) was released as the first single from Corstens Blueprint
album, which appeared in May. ~ Paul Simpson
