dirtySi's Tunes of Note

A legend was born as soon as the final track on CD 2 of "An Introspective of House: Volume 1" graced my ears. It was called Galaxia and was produced by 16 year old Ferry Corsten from Holland, under the moniker "Moonman". Since then we have seen him rise to global superstardom as the Emperor of Euphoric Trance. His productions, remixes and collaborations under the guise of "System F", "Moonman", "Vercocha", "Gouryella" and many more blaze a trail across the last 10 years setting stnadards, breaking moulds and moving dancefloors.

I've dropped his records and seen people cry with the power and emotion that only trance can create on a dancefloor. So it is with great pleasure I can recommend this latest offering.

It's under his own name, but it sounds more like a System F track, perhaps with the release of the new System F album he had a spare track that he decided to release as a one off rather than relate it to the new album and risk confusion if it wasn't to appear on it.

I recommend the remix over the original merely for the extra motifs they add to the track. I think it's down to the incredible Kuffdam & Plant track "Summer Dream" from last year (well actually from December 2004), which had these awesome tubular bell sounds. The remixers here use a similar sound and it just adds that "oh my God it's this tune" feeling, which is all you want on a dancefloor - everyone just waiting for the drop. And the riff is simple, powerful and uplifiting, so it succeeds in all areas.

Love it!
