Dance legend Ferry Corsten is to mark his groundbreaking new What The F live tour with an exclusive drop on RCRDSHP entitled Ferry Corsten presents What the F.

It includes a limited edition NFT of the keyboard he used right at the start of his career on some of his biggest hits which will be available for all his fans to grab, plus an exclusive new track, edits of huge remixes of his most timeless tracks by some legendary names in the dance world as well as virtual tour merch for meta-ravers, backstage moments from the kick-off of the show and much more. It lands on May 25th when What the F takes over his weekly show Resonation Radio on A State of Trance with various studio guests.

By any measure, Ferry Corsten is an electronic dance music titan. Ever since his debut album Out of the Blue under his trance music alias System F in 1999 topped the UK singles charts, he has been defining and redefining electronic dance music around the world. To prove this, Ferry was recently knighted by the Dutch king for his contribution to the country’s music industry, an honour only two other Dutchman DJs have ever received.

Over more than 20 years he has remixed everyone from U2 to Duran Duran to Justin Bieber, and has made widescreen and cinematic albums like 2017’s ‘Blueprint‘, soundtracks to movie thrillers like ‘Don’t Go‘ and has headed up his charity project UNITY while collaborating with fellow legends like Paul Oakenfold, BT, Ilan Bluestone and Sander van Doorn.

As the longest-serving Dutch DJ in the annual DJ Mag Top 100 poll over the last decade, he is no stranger to the world’s biggest stages from Tomorrowland to EDC Las Vegas and Creamfields. His ‘Resonation Radio‘ show is also an influential outlet for new music and constant proof of Ferry‘s dedication to pushing electronic music forward. Most recently, his piano house single ‘Timeout‘ with Dustin Husain on Flashover Recordings/Armada has proved the latest in a long line of classic tunes from the great Dutchman.

His all-encompassing What the F live tour kicked off at London’s Ministry of Sound on May 6th and heads all over North and South America in June and August for phase one, with phase two to follow soon. It is a career-spanning spectacle that finds Ferry playing open to close, from the first to the last record under all his different acclaimed aliases. Every tune will be one of Ferry‘s own, with numerous hits taken from his vast back catalogue of over 150 tracks. Some of this music will be remixed, rehashed and reinvented to make for an all-new and thrilling experience from this dance pioneer.

On top of all the exclusive collectibles are potential rewards from purchasing, collecting and completing sets of packs. Among them are guest list and/or backstage access to all What the F shows, free merchandise, and for NFT fans and music super fans alike, the Grand prize which is a one of a kind (mythical) NFT digital audio tape (DAT) of Ferry Corsten: Out of the Blue, the story behind his classic Out of the Blue, which was originally going to come under Ferry’s own name but instead established System F as one of dance music’s most iconic alias and topped global charts while becoming one of dance music’s biggest hits.

This first-ever Ferry Corsten drop on RCRDSHP is full of absolute treasure for fans and offers a unique chance to own some real trance history. In unison with the groundbreaking new What The F Tour, it reminds us just why the dance legend is so revered around the world.

Exclusive Interview with talented DJ and producer Squachek

By
Metodi Gogovski
-

Following the highly-acclaimed release of ‘No No Square’, talented DJ and producer Squachek strikes back with a new take of his Tik Tok sensation track; this time the new versions of ‘No No Square’ were produced by a stellar lineup of musicians, producers and DJs like; Chip E., Tuna Melt, Faulty Machine Recording Service, Catman John.

Each track showcases the different styles and sounds that define these artists, while these release also features a country take on the original track by Luke Morgan and Squachek himself.

With some live performances coming up and new music in the pipeline, Squachek sat down with us to tell us more about the experience of releasing this new remix pack and the idea behind it.

1. Hello Squachek! How are you?

It’s a great day in Los Angeles. Everything is going well with family and friends, and now I’m speaking with you! How much better can it get?

2. Can you tell us more about the initial idea behind ‘No No Square’?  Does this track have any specific influences or references?

I was headed past my home studio and out the door to take my daughter to school one day. She sang that line, I cracked up, and we recorded the line right then and there. I had to write a note explaining why she was late. This is LA so I figured “recording session” wouldn’t be a foreign concept. She learned the song as part of her “stranger danger” education in primary school, like a nursery rhyme kinda thing. Musically, I’m a lifelong anglophile, and I’m especially into the music of Sheffield and Manchester, which is super wonky, donky and wobbly. I think you can hear that here.

3. How did the remix project come about?

I had the idea to use a few releases to promote the idea of consent. Don’t touch without asking. I finished the track, released it, and didn’t think much about it until I was bored during lockdown. Everyone was talking about TikTok, so I figured I’d check it out.

I searched for Squachek and found there were 15,000 videos that used my No-No Square, which was a pretty nice surprise since I’d been passing the time DJing to a webcam, washing my groceries, and crying into my MIDI controller.

I think No-No Square is currently at 60 million views on TikTok, and chugging along at about 2 million views a month. I think there are another million streams or so on all the other services. As you can imagine, this wild success has allowed me to afford three trips to space, a custom built roller coaster for my cats, and releasing a remix album!

4. How come did you want to invite Tuna Melt, Chip E., Faulty Machine Recordings Service and Catman John to join you with their own remixes?

All the remixers are good friends of mine from Chicago and Los Angeles, and they’re all over the place musically. Because No-No Square is so repetitive – especially after you listen to it a zillion times as you shoot your TikTok dance – I wanted to give people the same hook in different genres. Will it result in thousands more videos of people pointing at their junk? Who knows? 

5. Can you tell us more about your own remix? How did you come up with the idea for it?  What has been your favorite part of working on a remix of your own track?

I’ve always wanted to write a country song just to see if I could do it. My Boot Scootin’ Redo is more like a cover song. I was trying to come up with an idea that would be a total 180 from the original, so country came to mind. It was super fun to totally reimagine a previous track. 

6. What was it like working with Luke Morgan?

Luke is an amazing vocalist and musician. I’d known him for years through his time in rock bands around California, and was excited to learn he moved into the world of country. He’s really busy as you can imagine, so it took a little prodding to get on his calendar, but when the time came, he wrote the new second verse, belted out guitar tracks and about 10 vocal tracks with harmonies in less time than it takes him to shotgun a Coors Light. Austin Hayman’s guitar arrangement pulled it all together. The sound is inspired by that kinda cowpunk aesthetic of Bloodshot Records.

7. Are there any upcoming releases, projects or performances you’re looking forward to?

I recently released a track called HIGH TONIGHT on the Basscvlt label’s BLAZECVLT 2 compilation, and before that, a fun remix of another TikTok hit, Shakamania X’s GAY CHILD. It just might be the gay club anthem the world needs. I’ll be playing shows at parties and clubs in LA, with the Freakeasy crew in Chicago, and at Burning Man for the 11th time.

8. Where would you like to perform ‘No No Square’ in the near future?

Aside from a US tour, I’m really hoping to play in Japan and Korea. No-No Square is super popular there, Australia and Mexico too… so promoters, get at me!

Oliver Heldens collaborates with Nile Rodgers and London’s House Gospel Choir on ‘I Was Made For Lovin’ You’

Oliver Heldens

Superstar DJ and producer Oliver Heldens continues his string of collaborations with disco legend Nile Rodgers on his new single, adding the talents of London’s incredible House Gospel Choir on an unexpected cover of ’70/’80s rock legends KISS’ ‘I Was Made For Lovin’ You’. It’s the track that 2022 didn’t know it needed, but it most definitely does.

Having previously worked together on their huge collaboration ‘Summer Lover‘ and Oliver‘s official remix of Chic‘s ‘Le Freak‘ for its 40th anniversary, Heldens and Rodgers make a formidable partnership which grows stronger still with this gorgeous new single. Heldens works his magic once again on this huge crossover anthem which blends his own pumping house beats and funked-up bass with Rodgers’ disco guitar links, House Gospel Choir‘s rousing delivery of the vocal refrain.

The result is a track which is destined to become one of the big festival and Ibiza anthems this summer, bursting with feel-good, sunshine-drenched energy. It’s a genius collaboration by one of the leading names in dance music, one of the most legendary hitmakers in all of music, and one of the most innovative outfits in the house music scene. “I always love working with Oliver, and House Gospel Choir is the icing on the jamming cake”, says Nile Rodgers.

“When I made the very funk & disco inspired bassline for this track in 2015, I knew it was one of my best basslines since ‘Gecko’, and I just had to send it to one of my all-time heroes Nile Rodgers. He also loved it and he blessed the track with his signature jamming electric funk guitars, which was a dream come true for me!

Finding the right vocal for this track has been a real journey though, I’ve done over a dozen of toplines on it with several singers/songwriters, but in the end the hook of KISS’ iconic hit “I Was Made For Lovin’ You” turned out to be a match made in heaven. And with the extraordinary House Gospel Choir on board, they managed to make it sound even more heavenly! This song has been such a vibe in my sets, so I can’t wait for it to be finally released! 🙂“, says Oliver Heldens.

Fideles take Lufthaus’ ‘To The Light’ to a darker dimension

Fideles

Just as their debut release on Armada Music, Lufthaus’ second single ‘To The Light’ has incentivized a share of underground experts to showcase their remixing abilities, with Italian duo Fideles providing the kickoff. The pair have somehow dimmed the sonic light in the track itself by highlighting its more obscure elements and adding their signature sub-zero-fueled ingredients to make it a distinctly Fideles remix.

The underground club scene takes pride in its spectral atmosphere with otherworldly synths and hair-raising chord progressions, which is exactly what Fideles introduced to the mix. Already played at festivals such as Pleinvrees in Amsterdam and more, the track has entranced ravers with the ethereal climate it breathes into any setting. Led by a driving bassline and a catchy yet chilling pluck pattern, the remix accentuates the underlying mysterious aura that envelops the original track’s genuine lyrics.

In contrast with the original, this remix places the vocals in the spotlight by embracing it with gloomy, rumbling background synths rather than garnishing it with sanguine musical refrains. The sinister traces in the velvety melodies complement the harshness of the sincere sentiments in the track. Although the ideal ‘hours of the dawn’ basement anthem, the verity in the song’s expressive lyrics also renders it powerfully emotional, moving crowds to their cores.

Tackling the universal phenomenon of internal struggles, ‘To The Light‘ acts as a beacon of hope for those competing with their own personal lives while simultaneously providing a unique club-themed getaway.

Joining forces as Fideles in 2010, Daniele Aprile and Mario Roberti have made their mark on the global dance music scene with a sophisticated and modern melodic sound. The duo have drawn the interest of the underground scene’s most influential names (from Laurent Garnier to Solomun) and secured scene-wide plaudits with releases on imprints such as Bedrock, Poker Flat, Stil vor Talent, and more recently Afterlife, Innervisions and Exit Strategy.

They have carried their mesmerizing performances globally, with shows at world-renowned events and international venues such as Printworks and Fabric (London), Amnesia (Ibiza), Rex Club (Paris) and Watergate (Berlin). With over a dozen years of experience in their back pockets, Fideles are only aiming upwards, with more of their timeless pieces set to enchant dance floors worldwide.
