[@muzikxpress]

Who should remix "Rock Your Body Rock" for the 20th anniversary in 2023?

[@AnalogFlava]

Me 😁

[@enfortro]

Remix comp

[@low3freq]

Nobody.

[@gwEmbassy]

Honestly, this is one of my favourite tracks of all time. I would love to have a go at it myself.

[@bucky716]

Renegade System!

[@ar_nim]

I'm really enjoying these interviews. My belief still stands: Ferry is one of the best dance music producers of all time. I hope I'd get the chance to attend one of the What The F shows. Also, happy wedding anniversary Ferry!

[@Kuberniccus]

Great interview with one of the fathers of trance music .His music is positive and deep.Thank you Ferry !

[@urbexindigo5164]

Much appreciated Twan! There is not too many places you can watch such a detailed interview with Ferry Corsten!! Well done again! Cheers from Australia :-)

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you very much! Ferry has so many great stories and with the amount of classics he did I'm sure I can do at least ..... I don't know how many more interviews haha ;-) And he's a great person to talk to, always enthusiastic! :)

[@davewebster689]

Ferry seems such a chill guy. Nice to see he still makes time to give you interviews

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you Dave!

[@marc-oliviergiguere3290]

Ferry Corsten has always been and still is the real pillar of Trance. Where would trance be without Ferry? Godfather of trance. Period.

[@Fir1-t3d]

Wish they'd all bring back the classic style.

[@Grillcrasher]

Happy that they progress - as they say, nothing stays the same forever, and they'd get bored if they just repeated the same thing over and over again - and then we'd all complain that "hey man, all your songs sound the same!" - can't ever please everybody, right? ;-)

[@Fir1-t3d]

@@Grillcrasher progressed backwards though on terms of an enjoyable song. The new style lacks real emotion.

[@Grillcrasher]

@@Fir1-t3d for you :-) Subjective really, I've managed to find plenty of emotive and creative songs now, just as I did back then. What's not emotional for some can bring emotions for others :-)

[@Grimehouse]

Please never stop making videos

[@muzikxpress]

Hehe I hope numbers of subscribers and views go up though, since it’s very hard to make sure this hobby project isn’t going to cost me too much money. So fingers crossed! Ideas enough though!

[@xstalkrx]

muzikxpress - the best!

[@rocko44444444]

I always find these interviews with Ferry as special, regarding Twan's and Ferry's history. More two friends chatting rather than an ordinary inter. I love it!

[@muzikxpress]

Haha thanks a lot! Hope to do another interview with Ferry next year! 🤞🏻

[@rocko44444444]

@@muzikxpress I hope too! :)

Really interesting to hear it was the Nord Rack 3 that provided the main lead sound. Back at college in summer 2005/6, a few friends and I teamed up to do a live rendition of Rock Your Body Rock for an outdoor show at a local amphitheatre. We had live drums, guitar, bass etc and I played 'that' main lead on a bright red roland keytar. We had this big goth guy do the main vox part with a Microkorg's vocoder. I remember using my own Nord Rack 3 for the lead sound it and getting very very close. I remember mappable morphing features of that synth were essential to getting it to sound right; being able to vary the HPF, modulation etc all together from an expression peddle. Incidentally, it was a Nord Rack 3 I bought from the dance music group, N-Trance. Kev N-Trance sold me it for 25% of its value because he knew I was a poor student and aspiring trance producer. Good times 🙂

[@bucky716]

It's going to be great to hear his version of Moby's tune again! Tell us more about him calling you about his music. In terms of he needed a copy of something you had? Can't wait for the show in NYC.

[@muzikxpress]

Haha he knows I have a massive archive with his music (digitally), so he asked me for several tracks / remixes so he could see if he would be able to use those in his What The F shows.

[@thephoenix3155]

Fun fact! Moby asked Ferry to remix a couple of songs and then Ferry asks Moby to remix this thumper!

[@gwEmbassy]

Another killer interview from Muzikxpress :)

[@muzikxpress]

Well thank you very much for the nice words! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@markymark8685]

Another great interview mate! I love hearing Ferry talk, could listen to him for hours. Thank you ❤

[@muzikxpress]

Thanks a lot Mark! I hope I can keep doing at least 1 interview with him each year :)

Amazing musician. Great interview. Thanks.

Thank you so much!

[@KingLizard616]

Ferry is really cool dude. Down to earth.

[@muzikxpress]

Oh yes he is! Love doing interviews with him (as you might have noticed hehe)

[@randyderricott]

I second that! I posted some questions on his Facebook Wall and he himself answered!

[@TransaOfficial]

We love this channel. Of course it goes without saying that we are massive fans of "Ferry" and were honoured to be able to remix one of his tracks. We love anything where the viewers gets an insight into how tracks are produced, and its always very interesting to see where the inspiration come from. Keep up the excellent work Twan :)

[@muzikxpress]

Thanks so much for the kind words guys!!!

[@TransaOfficial]

@@muzikxpress its a pleasure

[@magdelayna]

Great interview! I really need to get to one of these shows sometime,sounds epic.

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you very much! And yes, I need to see (and hear!) a What The F show as well for sure! Can't wait!

Hey Twan, I absolutely loved this interview you did with Ferry and thought it was dope! Thanks for doing it for us, and keep up the great work with all your future interviews.

this channel is full of hidden gems, legends of electronic music talking about their megahits, only true oldschool fans know about it so far :D ... let's comment more for youtube algo so more people can see it

Thank you! I hope more and more people discover my channel 😉🤞🏻

[@fernandoalmeida6205]

The Ferry interviews are awesome, i hope you can ask him one day about his remixes of Ayumi Hamasaki, those are banging! I can't find an old set were he played any of them.

[@muzikxpress]

Thanks so much! And I only do interviews about originals, not about remixes 😉

[@ozdiaz1048]

hello how are you twan. very nice to see ferry and I still know him by eon pocket damage. very nice to see him good stuff.

[@DJGuatemala83]

I would DIE if Ferry made a Synthwave/ Retro album of entirely original tracks 👀

[@82flappie]

Great interview!

Thank you very much!

[@aceofjoy1099]

Thanks. Great stuff again! Numan track mentioned is Cars. Also listen to Are friends electric, the siren part.

dude my hero since carte blanche, like robert miles was with his stuff

[@grzegorzk3459]

Thanks Twan 🔝

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you too!

[@electrikblue1008]

I hope that updated version of his Moby remix gets released. I had the same feeling about the track when I made a mix recently of all of my favorite Ferry tracks, and that one sounded not as polished as all of the rest. It's a great remix though

[@DJThijzzzz]

What a track!! One of my favorite little known Ferry tracks is the ET welcome home song....... Legend :)

[@muzikxpress]

That’s actually a remix he did, but indeed, a pretty unknown one!

[@DJThijzzzz]

@@muzikxpress I felt like in heaven when I finaly found the 12" :) En nog in de uitverkoopbak van Midtown ook

Is that available digitally? Would love to get my hands on it.

I didn't know how much I needed to hear Ferry describing sounds "pissh","weeeauu", etc. hahahaha. I see him as the guy posting those sounds in a Forum asking if anyone knows that track.

[@muzikxpress]

I should make a small edit of all the times producers make these sounds hehe

Rock Your Body Rock Was Also Used In The Video Game FIFA Football 2005

[@FFmybest]

+1 for an Oliver Heldens remix, he did a great job on Thing Called Love. Great interview, as always.

[@rothsothy]

I was stoked when I heard the Moby remix coming in that What the F 3-hour special earlier this week, and I knew the track right away! (In My Heart was the other good one to bring back in a System F style set 😉) I always remember him explaining the bending 'scoop' note before the kick part many times before, and the lyrics explanation is great! 😅 Also, congrats on the 20 years Ferry and Lia!

[@muzikxpress]

Still love that remix so much! Also "In My Heart", bit underrated remix in my opinion!

[@CesarPantoja0]

I was at the London show, managed to get him to sign like 6 of my vinyls 😁

[@muzikxpress]

Haha lucky! How was the show? I’m sure it was amazing! Ferry told me he loved it!

[@CesarPantoja0]

@@muzikxpress yesss it was amazing. I was there from open to close. The second part was super trancey and I loved it.

[@DJGOLFVR6]

I genuinely hope he does WTF V2.0, and not just because I missed the last 30mins but there are so many tracks could be reworked played in his OTC set. Personally I'd love to see "First Light' get a Ferry Fix, he could also Fix "Heart Connected," I would love to see him playing "Show me The World" etc the list could go on lol.

[@muzikxpress]

I hope he does one in The Netherlands soon since I still have to witness a What The F show 😬

Great interview. Would also love to hear the story behind "Rank1 ‎- Awakening (Ferry Corsten Remix)"

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you very much! And I don’t do interviews about remixes, I only focus on originals. Artists rather talk about their own original productions instead of remixes they did for others. Plus the stories behind original tracks are usually much more interesting 😉

I did ask her already but unfortunately she said “no”.

@@muzikxpress Such a shame she is such a mysterious person there is so much i want to know, thank you for your reply, i hope some day you get to interview her i think Better Off Alone is the most famous and popular dance track off all time! the remixes are endless.

@@carterfamilychannel Yeah unfortunately not everyone likes to be interviewed it seems hehe…. Btw check out my interview with DJ Jurgen about “Better Off Alone”. It is vlog number 028 on my channel!

Get the interviews and stories from The Prodigy's classics. Poison, Voodoo People, Charlie, No Good, Firestarter, Breathe, Mindfields, etc.

[@muzikxpress]

You make it sound so easy 😂 Already reached out to their management for an interview, but no luck so far…

[@krakulandia]

@@muzikxpress :( pity. Hopefully it happens one day. What about KLF? C&C Music Factory, SNAP!, Max Martin for his 90s hits, The Shamen, Cylob's Rewind! would be an interesting story to hear how he came up with that track, Apollo 440, Propellerheads, Antiloop, The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Leftfield. If you have a chance to get their interviews on some of their classics, those would be highly interesting material to learn about.

[@muzikxpress]

@@krakulandia I hope so too. FYI, I don’t have a travel budget for these vlogs / interviews…. Most of the names you mentioned are almost impossible to get for a “hobby vlogger” since they don’t live anywhere near me or never / hardly perform in The Netherlands (where I’m based). Please check the pinned post on the Muzikxpress Facebook page to see what I can do and what I can’t do regarding interviews. Thanks for your understanding.

Interview starts (advert ends) at 5:23

[@Cykelpump33]

Dunno but this like my least favorite era of Ferry. Not too much memorable stuff. Good thing he progressed a bit.
