Los Angeles

California

The mad thing is I wasn’t originally the biggest fan of LA but I’ve fallen in love with it more and more over the years. The restaurants are incredible and if you’re lucky & get an offer to party at someone’s house in the hills, then take it!! 

Ibiza

Spain

It’s always a No.1 go to place for me to party with my friends during the summer. Not only is the nightlife amazing but Old Town is a real mix of old & new with a chilled atmosphere and beautiful restaurants. 

Barbados

Carribbean

Barbados has a special place in my heart: I went there as a kid and love the beaches & crystal clear water. Waking up in the morning and finding yourself surrounded by red crabs and swiminning with the turtles is a memory I’ll never forget.

Ferry Corsten Releases The Latest UNITY Collaboration with BT on ‘1997’

Ferry Corsten is back with his latest ‘Unity’ collaboration, after releasing the last one with Ilan Bluestone back in December – Ferry has teamed up with BT for a special collaboration in ‘1997‘.

Ferry Corsten has been busy with solo music in the first half of 2019, releasing ‘Freefall‘ – which feels like a more commercially viable release. He also returned to his Gouryella alias with ‘Surga‘.

Ferry Corsten has brought in another big name into the Unity project, with the legend that is BT. After remixing BT’s track ‘Suddenly’ in 2010, the pair are familiar with each other’s prowess in the studio, and that united vision is showcased in abundance. The team-up sees both artists strengths utilised to their best potential to create a track that is greater than the sum of its parts. As it should, the production leans heavily on the killer uplifting melody – which is a prominent throughout the entire track. The mix of each artist’s styles is present and concludes in an epic collaboration.

Ferry launched the UNITY project in 2018 with his collaboration alongside Paul Oakenfold titled ‘A Slice Of Heaven’, and continued working with artists within the Trance community throughout the year, such as DIM3NSION, Jordan Suckley, Saad Ayub and Ilan Bluestone, and after the success of 2018 has more releases in store after making his first donation to project partner, VH1’s Save The Music Foundation, an organisation launched to reinstate music programs in public schools, which to date has raised over $53 million and helped over 2,100 public schools.

Skytech Releases Bouncy Track ‘Out Of My Mind’ & Gets R3HAB To Edit

Skytech is back on CYB3RPVNK with ‘Out Of My Mind‘ and gets the label boss to edit it! Skytech has been killing tit lately with a lot of collaborations with R3HAB, with each track gaining millions of plays – Skytech is at a tremendous position in his career.

The track has catchy vocals that solidify themselves throughout the track. The drops and the instrumental production have a Melbourne bounce feel to it, yet remain fresh and current. Every aspect of the track contributes to the tracks energy. There is no doubt this track would go ‘off‘ at a show.

The story behind this production is great, with Skytech saying; “This track came about when the phrase “I can’t get you out of my mind” got totally stuck in my head, so I started experimenting with my vocals. Once I got those down, building the rest of the track was super easy. R3HAB loved the idea instantly and made some awesome edits. Working with R3HAB and the CYB3RPVNK team is great because they are always very helpful and supportive of new ideas. R3HAB has an amazing ear for music. I’m looking forward to working with them on future productions!” 

This is yet another solid release from CYB3RPVNK, Skytech and R3HAB. We cannot wait to see what they bring next.
