Ferry Corsten - Corstens Countdown - a weekly trance radio show

There were great DJ’s and there are large producers. Never standing still, Ferry Corsten is one of the few races that have always excelled at once. Read latest interview with DJ Ferry Corsten.

1. Hi Ferry, thank you for giving us the time of the interview. We are very excited about the next Opera House concert on March 21 - should bring a little flashback you have on the main stage! As you played the venue quite a few times over the years, do you have any special memories of the place, you can share?

What I always liked the place was the fact that he always kept his former theatre look and feel. I really liked playing on the first day with DJ booth so close to the crowd as it gave some amazing interaction with the Slinky nightclubs.

2. You are known for your production work and, in fact, started as a producer before you became a DJ. What do you do with production-wise at the moment and this is due to the Ferry Corsten studio soon as the crowd Slinky should know about?

At the moment I’m working on my next album. I could actually test some new songs on March 21, so keep your ears open for something unfamiliar!

3. I read in an interview five years ago, wherever you mentioned that new trance has been lacking in innovation, that everything has sounded the same and everyone was copying each other. Has this changed dramatically with the new generation of trance producers like Askew, O’Callaghan, Ottaviani, Downey, Bronzwaer, Haslam and Kearney?

I think it has changed for better with a much more exciting mix of music and there. Personally, I love it when people cross borders between genres, such as the mix of electro and trance.

4. Your job production showed a variety which, due to your experience in the first days when you were given the production of all kinds of genres of techno and gabber drum and bass, probably is not it surprising. Regarding your DJ’ing well, are there other scenes you want DJ or are you firmly fixed in the trance scene?

Although I’ve experienced in the past with various music, I can see in the trance scene. Since I broke into the scene with trance music, it remains my first love.

5. How come you some ideas for a track? Is it a very difficult process of producing these concepts into something people really dance?

The ideas come from things every day. For example, how I feel, where I am, what music I’m listening - but most of all they just come when I’m comfortable working in my studio. With all the ideas that I produce I keep in mind that he needs to work on the dance floor first. This allows me to bring good energy in the way.

6. You always rank global DJ Mag prices as one of the best performers. What kind of importance do you place on accolades like this? When we recently spoke with Eddie Halliwell, he felt he was very influential, giving opportunities to expose the dance music to a wider audience. What is your take on it? </ Strong>

I think it is great that the DJ Mag poll is there. because this is a good indication of what’s happening in the scene. It is also nice to be recognized by your fans for all your efforts.

7. You are a globetrotting DJs and a rack of many trips in a year at various locations throughout the world. Have you ever an opportunity to take part or in local attractions when you gigs abroad, or you just do go, play your files, and you want to get straight back?

I usually ask a few concerts together in the same region. This means that I can fly normally play my concert and gather for a couple of hours with the people and the crowd before returning to the hotel and the next destination. From time to time when I’m on tour I’ll have a few days of rest between concerts, and then I like to consult the local landscape.

8. What is there left for you to perform the dance music scene? Do you have any ambitions at the moment are not fulfilled?

Since I started as a producer, I will probably end as a producer as well. So with that in mind I want to be the producer behind a group or an artist at any given time.

9. It is widely established that you take great inspiration from many different styles. With this in mind that what musicians, bands, producers and DJs are you you doing?

For my own productions, I am greatly inspired by music from the eighties and, more recently, the late nineties. Regarding listening to music while relaxing, I am pleased with artists like Norah Jones, Erikah Badu and chill out.

10. Thank you Ferry, Just finally, what should the nightclubs Slinky expect you March 21 at the Opera?

A lot of energy and hands in the air;)!

Don’t forget to leave your commnet!!!
