MIXED BY Ferry Corsten

The Dutch master mixes one for trance purists.

Ferry Corsten has been shaking the foundation for over two decades with numerous alter-egos, his Flashover label, a laundry list of charting anthems ("Punk" and "Fire" will simply never get old), and performances in every corner of our planet. He's played an essential role in establishing his native land, The Netherlands, as a fertile breeding ground for DJs and, at age 40, he's still breathing life into trance music.

His productions play to the purists as well as wading members of the crossover pool. His latest release "Pogo," is a perfect display of Ferry's 2014 production style, with genre shifts between electro, airplane-hanger sized synths, and full-on trance feels—it plays homage to his roots while at the same time opening doors for new sounds.

For his addition to the MIXED BY collection, Ferry's mix touches on many of the older gems from throughout his career, as well as featuring some of his recent singles. Don't be afraid to get lost in this one, while your boss might not understand why you're praying to the ceiling with your eyes closed in euphoria—we know exaclty how you feel.
