Ferry Corsten

This 2002 Dance Valley entry captures Ferry Corsten during a key stretch of classic trance history. Ferry Corsten helped shape the Dutch trance sound through aliases, remixes and peak-time productions that became staples of late-1990s sets. Dance Valley shows the Dutch outdoor festival context that helped trance become a large communal sound by the early 2000s. Kept here as a reference point for the archive, it helps show how the sound evolved in pacing, melody and club context.
