Ferry Corsten proves time and time again his ability to push forward as an artist, this time answering fans wishes with a new track under his seminal Gouryella alias, 'Surga'. FerryCorsten once again displays his knack for harnessing his unmistakable Gouryella sound. 'Surga' displays a clear nod to the old-school whilst staying firmly rooted in the present. A trait Ferry has been able to commandeer and one which has led to him remaining at the forefront of trance music throughout his long and illustrious career. Underpinned by modern production techniques 'Surga' delivers on the uplifting, anthemic atmosphere that is associated with the Gouryella alias.
'Surga' displays all the hallmarks of a Gouryella record, with a shimmering arpeggio that leads the track from the start, floating throughout and coming to the fore in places. Heavily-reverbed guitar slides wash over the track and add to the ethereal nature in the early stages, building to nothingness, as the track utilises silence to make way for the big event. Orchestral strings are introduced in the first breakdown, a memorable symphony of live instrumentation that highlights trance's long-standing relationship with arrangement and musicality beautifully, building towards the drop, underlined by a stuttering lead and dynamic bassline that ensures the song straddles the fine line between festival anthem and timeless classic, a line Ferry has also balanced expertly on previous Gouryella releases.Videos
