Rave Jungle had the opportunity to have an exclusive interview with the Trance music legend, Ferry Corsten, shortly after his performance at this years Tomorrowland festival.

The Dutch legend known under his numerous aliases, including System F, Moonman, Pulp Victim and Gouryella gave an exclusive interview regarding his performance at the first weekend of the festival. We have also discussed about his new album called Blueprint.

Check out the interview below !

Tomorrowland was great! They had a stunning production that really complemented the music. First, the trance energy stage where I performed as Ferry Corsten was probably one of the most amazing productions ever. You could really see that the crowd was eager to have trance back at the festival. My set as Ferry Corsten was great. I was able to play a lot of the tracks from my album Blueprint. The response was phenomenal, both at the festival and online. My second set as Gouryella brought out every die-hard trance fan over there. Since the documentary has been released, people felt more in tune with the concept when I played.

The festival was great. Unfortunately, I didnt get to stay as long as I wanted as I had some promotional things to do around my album outside of the festival but from what I saw it was fantastic. It was great to see some old friends and fans again!

I guess the concept makes it stand out. Its a whimsical European take on day festivals!

Blueprint is a hybrid between a music album and an audio book. In other words, a fully narrative story that carries the listener throughout the entire album creating a full listening experience. The difference between this album and my previous workMy previous work was just music albums where there was no central theme. The music in my previous albums were made to flow together but not as cohesive as blueprint due to the story.

Its really hard to pick one from all your favourite darlings. But if I had to pick one, it would be Venera. It ties Blueprint and Gouryella together.

I think its great. Ultimately, techno is where trance came from so uniting the 2 makes sense.

Weve got a few Ibiza shows, a couple more festivals in Europe and Asia and then Its back to the U.S and the rest of the world for the last quarter of the year.

Thank you so much as well !
