Artist: Ferry Corsten pres. Gouryella Song: Venera (Vee's Theme)
Genre: Uplifting Trance Label: Flashover Recordings
(Saturday) It is Day 2 of EDC, and what better way than to showcase my favorite artist for Day 2! My #2 of top 10 most anticipated acts of EDC is Ferry Corsten! He has a huge discography of aliases and amazing uplifting trance tracks. He was half of Gouryella, until Tiesto left and Corsten decided to continue on that name; Corsten released "Anahera" under Gouryella which became Trance Tune of the Year 2015. Following that he released "Neba" and then a full length album, with narration that provided a lot of depth to the songs and was basically read like a movie.
"Venera" is his third release under the revived Gouryella project and beautifully captures the uplifting style. I personally think it doesn't beat "Anahera" but is really well produced, beautiful, and works well in the sequence: Anahera to Venera to Neba. The climax at 2:40 is uplifting and has a medium degree of energy, and there is a melody change for the second build up at 3:55. I won't discuss this track in too much depth because it is simply better to just listen to it and let the music guide you.
Ferry Corsten will be playing at Quantum Valley on Day 2 from 11:30 - 12:30 am - one of the headlining spots. Although this set is not a Gouryella set, he will definitely play "Anahera" and showcase songs from his new album. I will be here at Quantum Valley for his set and then going straight to see Porter Robinson and then to Above & Beyond. Corsten's music is pretty life changing, and I encourage anyone who wants to listen to uplifting trance to check him out!
I hope to see you there and as always, look out for and help each other out and HAVE FUN!!
