You know what's strange... THEY TYPE EVERYTHING IN CAPS.

IT WAS THEIR MARKETING DECISION TO DO THAT, IT SEEMS. ONE OF THEM WAS LIKE: WE TYPE ONLY CAPS BECAUSE THATS COOL OR DIFFERENT. AND THEN THEY AGREED. ALL THEIR SOCIAL POSTS ARE IN CAPS. HAHA. WEIRD.

ITS NOT PLEASANT TO READ, SO I DONT REALLY UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WOULD DO THAT.

Its ridiculous - everything on their FB page is in capitals. I still dont know what they actually do??

It's not pleasant but it is funny whenever they tag someone in their posts who doesn't use full caps in their name:

Imagine someone screaming at the top of their lungs and then say someone's name in a normal voice, only to go back to screaming directly after :LOL:

I looked it up a while ago. They host trance parties in the Netherlands. So that's pretty cool in itself. Nothing wrong with that. I believe it's always been about 'trance classics'. There's hardly trance in NL so anything is welcome! Why they become 'stars' now, I don't know. It seems like a marketing thing. Maybe Armada gets a percentage or whatever.

There are still 'SUPERSTRINGS' events coming up. I'm going to visit one in December. I mean... I think it's a silly group with undeserved hits and podiums. I mean, ouf of the blue they are 'something' in our scene, and get big stages like ASOT events. Collabs with Ferry and Benno. While they had ZERO productions/hits before that. It's a little strange.

But... they will play trance classics all night. And that's pretty cool. So... yeah... Let's see how it is! ;)
YOU ARE GOING TO BE A SUPERFAN AFTERWARDS.

Seriously, these guys know their stuff.

Also, it looks like ferry doesn't like the new track he scratched his nose. He looks so uncomfortable /insecure doing this radioshow like this.
he still doesnt like it all :( probably he is really froced to play it in every sets :D
sorry for me being a bit of an asshole on this, but you still deserve this for that saying :D

Don't pretend to say that you are sorry or you even care because you are not and you don't. You are just being a wise guy, an insolent and I stand by what I said at the time he did look uncomfortable or insecure or unsure. I think someone deserves to be told that they need to work on their English. I am happy to recommend some books for you.

While I've always been picky on track/artist names and making sure we spell them as intended (It's M.I.K.E. not MIKE for example), can we please get back to talking about the track itself!

I feel like the polemic is more around whether Ferry is comfortable with slapping his name next to some gimmick where it should be applauded that he feels comfortable releasing a track that sounds straight out of 1999.

Is it perfect? No.
Is it corny and cheesy, happy euphoric trance-along? Yes, but that was the definition of Dutch Anthem Trance in 1998-1999, deal with it.
Does it sound like what I would imagine trance would evolve into 20 years on from the Golden-era? Mainly yes, although I was always a bigger fan of the Belgium/German darker/harder sound myself. The structure is nowhere near as complex as what we used to have in PVD/Airwave/M.I.K.E. tracks for example. Instead it follows the simpler, straight to the point template that reached mainstream appeal thanks to System F.

At least on my monitors, the EQ sounds rather well balanced, you get the typical Ferry groovy baseline work, barely any annoying white noise, and I'm a sucker for any lead that has stutter/staccato structure.

Tbh his smile and gesture does feel a bit fake/forced haha, but could be wrong. Or hes not feeling relaxed around other people. The others seem to enjoy it waaaaay more atleast. Just look at those guys. Its like theyve won the worldcup or something.

Tbh, I don’t know why you are debating the asot video. I would be very uncomfortable play there as you are mixing for nobody, you are filmed… it’s awkward.

Those 2 superstrings dudes are awkward too during their deejaying. But that’s no wonder, it’s an awkward setting imo.

I don’t see Ferry more or less enthusiastic. I wouldn’t conclude anything based on that.

Really great defense as a little boy from kindergarten! :D

True - everyone assumes every Trance DJ is an outgoing confident person,but they arnt. Some people are shy, and not everyone jumps around and up onto the decks with a broad smile like Factor B haha. Ive found it awkward DJing in the events ive done - some people are showmen and some arnt.

because you wrote nonsense and I wanted you to think about it or rethink it, thats all :)
No. I did not write nonsense. It's just something I wrote which you disagree with there is a huge difference and you are not man enough to admit it when someone disagrees with you. I standby what I said I am not going to back down from it.

Exactly, I just mentioned it based on their body language nothing more. Freezer took my comment out of context and blown out of proportion. It was nothing more than an observation.

Ferry just said in the interview that this is one of his favourites from the album. Stay Awake being the absolute favourite. Well, he really likes the track, no question about it.
It will be in my top 10 this year probably :)
