He continues to push the boundaries of electronic music, exemplified by his 2020 ambient album “As Above So Below” under his FERR By Ferry Corsten alias.

This gave Ferry the chance to exhibit his wide palette of tastes, also demonstrated by his recent team-up with We Are Loud on the melodic Techno anthem “I Don’t Need You” and enlisting Alan Fitzpatrick to remix the iconic “Gouryella.”

Dash Berlin, Dubvision, and Emma Hewitt want to close 2022 with a flourish. These talents join forces to produce a brilliant cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time.” Not to mention, the music video is a must-watch for Trance fans.
They just finished shooting the visuals last month in South Korea and the results speak for themselves. From the neon lights to the skyscrapers and busy streets, you can tell the atmosphere is on point.
Get lost in the sound and the hypnotic nuances of this fresh rendition of the ’80s classic we all love. Magically, it starts slow but the rhythm gets intense and steady until the end.
Furthermore, the bittersweet and deep lyrics stay almost intact. In my opinion, this Trance version is shaped by a unique vocal presence but also by the contagious chord progression.
Letting go of a relationship, that is meaningless or makes you feel confused could be some form of teaching that leaves the whole composition. One way or another, the new cover begs for eyes closed and arms raised to the skies every listening moment. Enjoy it!

Believe it or not, “Strong” by Romy and Fred again.. is a song filled with lyrics about grief and loss. Despite this, the dance beats and the classic Trance vibes will command you to move your body.
What’s more, the visuals directed by Vic Lentaigne look so minimalist and so iconic at first glance. Indeed, Romy and her cousin were part of this music video which portrays unity, consolation, and strength after the disappearance of a loved one.
Undoubtedly, personal and vulnerable verses match the flawless vocals and the whole energy put into such an amazing track. Besides that, you can even connect with its feelings if you consider yourself an empath.
It should be noted that this is not the first time Romy and Fred again.. collaborate together on a single. At the beginning of the year, they dropped “Lights Out,” which is another absolute banger.
