Ferry Corsten Revisits His Gouryella Past to Find His Future

From Gouryella's start with Tiesto in Rotterdam, to its worldwide tour in 2016, Gouryella has been one of Ferry Corsten's most inspiring projects.

In the mid-’90s, Ferry Corsten was living in Rotterdam, getting his start as a producer and hanging out in record stores to hear the sounds of the world. There was this one shop in particular he frequented most, and he met a guy working there named Tijs Verwest, who himself had a pretty good gig as a DJ going under the name Tiësto .

Ferry Corsten

“We both had this gravitation towards this really melodic sort of electronic music,” Corsten says. “We were always talking about this stuff, the early form of trance, and we were both really big fans of that.”

Corsten had a hit with a song called “Out of The Blue” under the alias System F, and as he and Tiësto were talking, they thought they might try out making music in that kind of vein together, combine their talents so to speak and go for gold. Corsten couldn’t know then that he was embarking on one of the most important musical journeys of his lifetime.

Trance Music's Next Class: 15 DJs to Watch

Trending on billboard.

“We sat down in the studio and came up with this first track Gouryella “Gouryella,” Corsten says. “We didn’t have a name for it yet, but I’d pick these weird names, certain words with a certain meaning of something really beautiful. In this case, I was watching something like Discovery Channel or something, and it was about Australian Aborigines. The story was about their beliefs and heaven, and their word for heaven was “gouryella.” I thought, ‘that’s a cool name,’ so we picked that.”

“Gouryella” was a breakneck beat under sweeping melodies, and it soon became both artists biggest hits, peaking at no. 15 on the UK charts. They followed it with two more singles, “Walhalla” in 1999, and “Tenshi” in 2000, (both named after heavens and heavenly beings of the Norse and Japanese alike) all in this very synthy anthemic turn of the century sound. When it was time for Gouryella’s fourth single, “Ligaya” in 2002, Tiësto found himself moving in a different sonic direction and let Corsten take the reins up on his own.

Corsten then found his own personal tastes changing. He took up his own name as a moniker and experimented with more electro sounds, became a bit more techy in his productions. He still lived in the trance world but not in those same chord progressions and topline melodies. He’s become one of the biggest names in trance, but throughout the years, fans have never stopped asking about new Gouryella. If he so much as posted a picture of himself having spaghetti for dinner, someone would invariably comment “when are you going to release new Gouryella?” Corsten took it as a cute sort of madness, until the summer of 2015.

“I honestly started to feel very tired of what was going on in the music scene and also in the trance genre itself,” he remembers. “I was tired of the same old, and though I still like all of this, I started thinking ‘what would I want to do again now? What excites me?’”

Reading all those comments and Tweets got him thinking, what if he did bring Gouryella back? But it wasn’t that easy. Music isn’t just some switch you can pull in your mind. When you’ve spent the last 10 years of his life going in a forward direction, you can’t just climb back into old patterns of thought like stepping into an old pair of shoes. If he was going to give Gouryella a true chance at a future, he’d have to go back into the old midi files and pick apart its past.

Ferry Corsten's Summer Party Playlist

“I went right in and analyzed just how simple those tracks really were,” he says. “Over time in your head, they start to become so different, so complicated in a way. It was just funny to see, it’s almost like confrontational how simplistic the stuff back then and sometimes how much I’m overthinking music now.”

Not only was the music simpler, it was also longer. Each track was given twice the room to draw out concepts and motifs, to bring whole storylines to life in the melodies and chords.

“Nowadays, everything is so quick, snappy, and it’s over before you know it,” he says. “Looking back at how it was then and now gave me good insight for my production (as Ferry Corsten) that I’m working on right now. How can you make something still tell a story with a shorter track where everything is a lot quicker and not so dragged out? That’s what I took away from this.”

The first new Gouryella track was “Anahera,” a waterfall of sparkling synths that glitters its way into a pulsing bass-heavy rhythm. He followed that with “Neba,” a tune that seems to mirror even more closely the upbeat shimmer of Gouryella’s past offerings. Both tracks have the characteristic warmth and lushness of the classics, but with a modern softness. It’s the extension of trance’s past into the new landscape, and the response has been great. He knew he was going to get a rise out of his fans on social media, but then the tracks started charting on Beatport, and then Armin van Buuren gave heavy support during his A State of Trance sets. It was more than Corsten expected, and then promoters called.

“I really had no plans to (tour), but again, the whole point in the first place was to bring this sound back to new audience,” he says. “When that argument was thrown at me I was like, ‘okay, I think they’re right, but how am I going to do the shows if I only have five tracks?”

As much as he loved those old Gouryella tracks, they sounded dated back-to-back with the new tunes. The production on “Gouryella” just wasn’t as tight as “Anahera,” and that’s no surprise given Corsten’s decade of experience. He’d have to go back and, with the subtle precision of a surgeon, reproduce the old Gouryella catalog to meet his modern standards.

“As a music lover, when I hear a reproduction of a track – and especially a classic – I feel a little gutted like, ‘ah, this is not the real thing that I fell in love with,’” he says. “I took all those old tracks almost like a magnifying glass like, ‘okay, how did I do the filtering there?’ I lost bits and pieces here and there, because over 15 years time, you lose your files. My whole archiving wasn’t what it is today.”

The hard work paid off, and Corsten released the new editions in a limited edition boxset From The Heaveans , out now on iTunes . For live performances, he seamed the tracks together into a cohesive package, padded by Ferry Corsten songs that fit the sonic scope. He also reached out to Dimension, a young artist on his label Flashover Recordings with just the right sound. Dimension created an original tune specially for the Gouryella tour performances, and with that, he was in business.

It was a brilliant worldwide experience that begat another project, a documentary on the Gouryella journey from the old days at the Rotterdham record shop with Tiësto, to those first original tunes, on through the 2016 revival, the tour, and the lasting impact the project has had on fans and Corsten’s peers.

“We have some of the big guys that were a part of the scene back in the day and were supportive of Gouryella tell their story about how it influenced them and what it did to their shows,” he says. “I knew that it was a special thing from the very first release. It was just always referred to as the trance of the highest shelf, you know? When you get to that point and you suddenly stop releasing, it lives on in people’s imagination. The absence of Gouryella has almost made it the holy grail of trance in a way, so fragile.”

It’s been a humbling year for Corsten, to see his old world become new, to be bowled over by the praise for an old project brought back to life and hear the stories of how it touched fans’ lives. Now, however, it’s time to pack Gouryella away for another period of rest. He returns to Ferry Corsten in 2017, but he’s bringing with him all the lessons of the past.

“It’s almost an extension of what I’ve been doing with Gouryella,” he says, “not Gouryella the next chapter, but Gouryella goes back into Ferry Corsten. You’ve been inspired before that way, and it’s cool to go back there and find out what it was. Like I said, I’m going back to a time when I just made music without overthinking it, and that was very refreshing.”

Ferry Corsten announces Gouryella, System F combined worldwide tour, 'What The F'

The trance megastar has introduced a new open-to-close concept

Dutch trance master Ferry Corsten has unveiled a brand new party concept that unites his various musical monikers: What The F.

Having previously taken his Gouryella and System F names on tour to some of the biggest events in the world, including Tomorrowland and EDC, the new show draws all sides of the electronic pioneer together for a showcase that is 100% Ferry Corsten.

Promising an audio-visual experience and multiple cities on its tour, the show is set to be an immersive live spectacle. 

Of What The F, Ferry said: “I’ve been producing music under many different aliases over the last 20 years, Ferry Corsten, Gouryella, System F, and many, many more. For a long time, I’ve had a vision of bringing all of these projects to the stage, all in one night, all in one massive show.

"To be able to play a proper open to close set with just your own music is like a dream come true. The classics, the new music, and the songs you never knew I made."

In November last year the producer dropped a new collaboration featuring Gabrielle & Dresden, 'I Am You' - the seventh effort in his UNITY project.

“I’ve been producing music under many different aliases over the last 20 years. Ferry Corsten, Gouryella, System F, and many, many more. For a long time, I’ve had a vision of bringing all of these projects to the stage, all in one night, all in one massive show. And now It’s finally happening! To be able to play a proper open to close set with just your own music is like a dream come true. The classics, the new music, and the songs you never knew I made. A true full audio-visual experience. This will be a night to remember! This will be WHAT THE F.” Ferry Corsten

What The F Teaser Video

What started out as a small teaser video displaying a 24-second 3D animation titled ‘WHAT THE F?’ soon led to another video with the big reveal on Ferry Corsten’s Facebook. The video reveals a 3D animated robotic figure sporting a cape adorned with a large letter F, symbolizing Ferry’s traditional logo. A distorted mixture of audio transmits across the video with a subtle sampling of Ferry’s classic tracks. By the end of the video, “What The F – All In One Night” is displayed, followed by “Gouryella, Ferry Corsten, System F” directly underneath. In Ferry’s Facebook post, he declares that this will be a “full audio-video experience.” The ‘What The F’ experience will be a proper open-to-close set that will showcase his classics, new music, and unreleased tracks.

What To Expect – Speculations

In this day and age, stage productions have taken up an all-new extreme. From holographic displays to astonishing arrays of LED panels, lasers, and pyrotechnics, we’re very excited to see what Ferry Corsten might visually present for his show. In 2018, Ferry Corsten revived his alias, System F, at Dreamstate SoCal . During an exclusive interview with EDMTunes , Ferry unearthed the reasons why he chose Southern California’s Dreamstate as his revival. Ferry also mentions that several of his tracks have been reproduced in order to sound more crisp and updated. This alludes that the ‘What The F’ performance will truly be the “full audio-visual experience” that Ferry intends.

Gouryella, System F, Ferry Corsten

Throughout his career, Ferry Corsten has explored several nooks of sound. Initially, Ferry produced hardcore gabba tracks that would eventually lead to his heavy interest in clubhouse and trance . In 1999, Ferry released the iconic ‘Out Of The Blue’ under his second solo project, System F. Later that year, Ferry teamed up with fellow Dutch producer, Tiësto , to form Gouryella. Gouryella would soon become another of Ferry’s solo projects when Tiesto left the duo in 2002. Now, Ferry has revived System F and Gouryella and intends to combine both of these projects into one performance at ‘ What The F.’

Ferry Corsten to Bring Gouryella Live Worldwide Tour

Long have Trance fans waited, but Ferry Corsten presents Gouryella will now be headlining his very own tour complete with exclusive tracks and a never before seen stage production.

What originally started as a side project for Ferry Corsten and Tiësto in 1999 finally sees its resurrection. Early releases include the debut self-titled track “Gouryella” and “Walhalla,” which both received support and a remix from the trance titan himself, Armin van Buuren. The duo of Ferry Corsten and Tiësto as Gouryella split in 2001, but the side project has been on Corsten’s mind ever since. After a 13-year dormancy, Gouryella (Corsten) returned with a bang, releasing “Anahera,” which climbed to Beatport’s #1 spot on the Trance Chart and #10 overall this past June. Clearly proving the acclaimed Gouryella is timeless and the music community wants more, Ferry has decided to take things to the next level in 2016.

Corsten had this to say about the return of Gouryella: “One questions that continues to crop up from the fans is when I am going to bring Gouryella back. I’ve always been incredibly touched by the love and appetite they’ve shown this side of my musical career.” Ferry went on to explain, with the response of Gouryella’s most recent hit, “Anahera,” he knew it was the right time to fully showcase the mysterious act.

The tour will travel all over the world, with various stops in the US. Specific location and date details have not been released yet. Taking place in 2016, the Gouryella Live show promises to bring both energetic tracks and a whole new production to finally bring Gouryella to life. Stay tuned for more details coming shortly.

‘Gouryella – From The Heavens’ Documentary Released!

‘Gouryella – From The Heavens’ gives fans an exclusive look into the life of Ferry Corsten with tour footage, industry commentary, and behind the scene processes

With its range of hi-definition, eye-popping visuals and a soundtrack that will send goosebumps flooding through your body, ‘Gouryella – From The Heavens’ explores the highs of a monumental year for one of the most loved aliases in trance. The film chronicles the massive cultural influence that Gouryella set in motion across the scene with its early sound, inspiring and drawing praise from names including Markus Schulz, Armin Van Buuren, MarLo, Cosmic Gate, Dim3nsion, Paul Oakenfold and Above & Beyond throughout the film.

Why are we here? Where do we come from? Who created us? Ferry Corsten has always been very intrigued by the idea of creation, which is the inspiration for the Gouryella show. We all think we have an idea, but no one can know for sure. The word Gouryella means heaven and his track “Anahera” means angel. In developing and building upon this theme, Ferry Corsten uses the Gouryella project and live performances as a platform to pose these questions. It delivers an introspective presentation bonding both music and visual artistry that stands apart from any other dance music project performed before.

Stream Ferry Corsten presents ‘Gouryella – From The Heavens’ – The Documentary on YouTube:

“Telling a story through music is one thing. Telling a story through photos, video and a narrative is another. I’m very excited that I’m able to bring this documentary onto the stage and take my fans with me on a journey behind the scenes and through the process that is Gouryella”. – Ferry Corsten

The documentary divulges interesting tidbits and facts about Ferry Corsten that fans will want to learn. Markus Schulz reveals that his friend hears the melody to a track before even beginning work on it. Yes, Ferry Corsten hears the music all in his head before he even touches the keyboard! If you could put a USB port in his head and transfer it to a computer, the track would already be finished. It’s rare to see someone who envisions productions so clearly, while is also able to put pen to paper and bring the music to fruition. He is truly one of the most brilliant minds in trance music and his ability to craft stunning pieces of musical artistry becomes wildly evident when you listen to his tracks.

‘Gouryella – From The Heavens’ explores the history of the impressive trance alias

In 1999,  Gouryella was born as a dream collaboration between Ferry Corsten and Tiesto . They made three timeless trance tracks together, including “ Gouryella “, “ Walhalla “, and “ Tenshi ” before decided to go their separate ways after a few years. Instantly, the world was faced with a dark cloud as they had lost out on a brilliant blooming project that set an example of trance perfection. Their productions were dripping in big synth melodies that fans resonated with on a level that would not be seen again for almost 15 years. Celebrated artists like Above & Beyond said the wildly unique and infectiously powerful sound had a huge influence on them.

In 2015, Ferry Corsten returned as Gouryella with the release of “Anahera” and was eventually voted tune of the year on A State of Trance . The trance scene was instantly transported back into a world where gorgeous melodies stole the limelight with an emotional and powerful drive. With events like Dreamstate revitalizing trance, a new track by Gouryella felt like it arrived at the perfect moment. It catapulted into the hearts of both old and new trance fans alike, igniting passion for the classic trance vibe and sound. Careful to preserve the perfection that is Gouryella, Ferry Corsten wanted to create something that had true meaning behind it. The result was a full on sensory inspired performance that would take his fans on a journey of divine exploration.

With the resurgence of emotional trance music, the documentary discusses the future of Gouryella

I can tell you from my own experience that after attending a Gouryella show, you will never look at trance the same way ever again. Standing among a crowd of thousands, allowing the soundtrack of heaven wash over my soul, as tracks like “Ligaya”, “Neba”, “Anahera”, “Drums A Weapon”, “Voema”, and “Dopamina” sweep swiftly through the speakers and into my heart, my life would forever be changed. In those moments I felt closer to my higher power than ever before. The music was my link to the mystery of the great beyond and I was experiencing emotions that I have never explored before. The beauty of every beat and the connection that I had with the melody was something that will never be duplicated.

Ferry Corsten reveals in the documentary to fans that he is not sure how much longer the live show will go on, but that he will return every year with a new Gouryella single. Only a limited amount of Gouryella shows remain in 2017, so make sure to catch Ferry Corsten play while you still can! The remaining dates include Tomorrowland in Belgium and the premiere of Gouryella 2.0 at Transmission in Melbourne and Prague.
