When DJmag catches up with Ferry Corsten, he is in the middle of yet another epic US tour. Since hitting San Francisco and LA, he is fresh from last night's show in Phoenix and just about to hop on a plane to Boston, so it's no wonder he is feeling a bit puffed out. But, as always, he is polite and cheerful: a delight to chat to.

Playing to music lovers where the number of club events fall drastically short of somewhere like Europe or the UK, for example, is always destined to garner a rapturous response but this one made Ferry's year, he says.

A greater willingness to feed more gradual, slow-burning vibes into the mix has been spurred by the recent production of part two of his 'Once Upon A Night' mix series; a release that, as the title suggests, sets out to take the listener on a musical journey.
