忘掉你对“国际DJ”这个词的所有了解，让自己享受与Ferry Corsten见面的乐趣。这位荷兰巨星连续五年被选为世界十大DJ之一(根据DJ杂志的100强DJ排行榜)。从澳大利亚到俄罗斯，再到白热化的伊比沙岛，他在露天剧场、球场和夜总会为成千上万的粉丝演出，有时是同时为他们演出。他在今年和两年前的年度DJ颁奖典礼上获得了这个派对岛的“最佳恍惚DJ”奖;在一个由“南方舒适”赞助的26个城市的美国巴士之旅中，被一些公路旅行迷跟踪;在他的家乡荷兰鹿特丹的阿霍伊体育场举办的一年一度的假面舞会“Full on Ferry”上，人们用音乐、视频和décor诠释了他一生的作品。这一切都是在他一年的工作中完成的，他被称为恍惚音乐在全球主导地位的“建筑师、先驱和煽动者”。但在关系密切的国际DJ圈子里，科斯顿也被视为另一种人:一个拥有强烈的声音正感的录音室导演;一个真正的制作人，他独自工作，没有工程师，创造了最完整的，充满活力的，旋律的舞曲唱片。他的风格是如此的独特，以至于合成器制造商罗兰为他们的新SP-555采样单元委托了一个科斯顿音库。 But it's so broad that it could meld with Public Enemy's classic cut 'Bring The Noise,' on a Corsten remix that Chuck D himself called 'the ultimate concoction of pace, energy and lyrics.' The world first experienced Corsten's dance floor wallop in 1999, when the young and hungry artist created aptly named track 'Out Of The Blue' (recorded under his System F moniker). It was the first of his eight Dutch gold records, and 10 U.K. Top 40 hits, the most ever by a trance producer. He released his debut album, 'Right Of Way,' in 2003; and the groundbreaking 'L.E.F.' – containing Duran Duran collaboration 'Fire' – in 2006, which debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes dance chart. A keen sonic curator, Corsten serves as the head honcho for his record labels, Flashover Recordings, Aleph, Boom Tsjak, and Levare. On his new XM Radio show, 'Corsten's Countdown,' he debuts new tracks every week and lets his faithful listeners – on the radio, and online – vote on their favourites for the month's final chart. The show is the first of its kind to engage fans worldwide, and give them a direct hand in predicting and creating hits. Corsten has also used his high profile for good, serving as an ambassador for the KidsRights Foundation, which increases awareness of the plight of disadvantaged children worldwide. He boasts his own clothing line, Signature F, via Washington, D.C.-based iKY Clothing. Is Ferry Corsten a globe-trotting, club-packing, beat-dropping superstar DJ? Most definitely. But that's just the beginning of the story...one that's still being written.
