We’re going back 10 years this time for a track produced by two of the greatest DJs, a track that became an anthem of the trance scene, and engraved this track and group into an all time classic. This track of course is Gouryella by the duo of Tiesto and Ferry Corsten – who formed the project group Gouryella. Sure I could rhyme off that they both won a gold record for the release of the track, but more importantly this – I think – is when trance was at it’s peak. I love the earlier work of both these men, and as a whole the trance scene back then – it is when I first started to listen to this genre. Since the I’ve continued to listen to both of them, but not with the same ear as I did then. They both changed their style for better, or for worse? It’s different, and a nice change. People claim Tiesto is a sell-out, he’s not. He changed the flavour of his music to reach a wider range of listeners – after all this is what we’re all trying to do, to expose more people to this genre and cast away all the negative elements associated with it. It’s about the music and Tiesto continues to support it. While Ferry also runs his own radio show, but hasn’t changed his taste that drastically, and still pumps the crowds up.
