Here’s a beautiful piece that reminds us of the older days of Trance.
Oh, Ferry, you’ve done it again. In case you’re not aware, Ferry Corsten, the legend and pioneer of the modern Dance sound (both Trance and the subsequent genres), has been quite busy juggling studio and gigs around the world this past year. In particular, he’s been crafting his next studio album, Connect.
Connect is an ongoing project. And differently from the usual album marketing campaign, in which an artist lifts two to four songs prior to the full LP, Ferry’s unveiling these songs as they come, one by one. We’ve heard that old-school sound peeking through Corsten’s latest piece of work, just like he mentioned in our interview with him a while ago. We’ve loved ‘Just Breathe’, we’ve loved ‘Stay Awake’, we’ve absolutely favourited ‘Fulfillment’, and we’re now delighted to receive his latest, a collaboration of sorts.
‘Chaos’
Under such a simple name, you wouldn’t imagine just how lovely this track is. And the thing is, along with ‘Just Breathe’, this one is arguably the most Trance-inducing record of them all. Think Golden Age. This record is precisely that. Add to it this track is a collaboration with Silva City (the Old-school Trance alias of Alan Fitzpatrick and Reset Robot), and you have a future classic.
The melody is so simple, and the nature of the track is stripped-back just like the old days. A few elements which all play such a key part in the picture, that’s the philosophy here. The main lead is an evolving saw pluck, backed by magical old-school percussion, snare rolls, delayed crashes, rolling basslines, and harmony companions. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I acknowledged this was a today thing and not a golden Gouryella era release. Thank you Ferry!
