Greatest trance producer of all time. The sheer volume of quality tracks Ferry produced in the early days is staggering

[pricejoss]

It's completely impossible to describe to anyone who wasn't around in 98/99 what it was like to hear this track for the first time. It was history. I remember the moment like it was yesterday. The club lost it. No phones, no Instagram, no Brexit, no hard times - just a sea of people in total ecstasy, lost in a moment they will never forget. I miss those days but I'm very grateful I got to experience them so thank you Ferry for creating something that defined an era and made all our lives richer for it.

Summer 2024 and it still sounds so crisp. Fresh, pure energy classic. Timeless perfection! Where the hell did it all come from... Literally Out of the Blue!

He's the pioneer of the supersaw sound in productions back in the golden trance years❤️ .. A pioneer in uplifting trance, a true hero! Ferry!

[MetalHeadRed]

Because of this very classic I’ve became a Trance Music Fan

[genericnamehere]

Introduced this track to a friend, a fighter pilot stationed with VFA-41. He LOVED it, said it fits high speed flight perfectly.

Fucking awesome, really fucking awesome to have the boss sharing all those details about this monster Trance classic "Out of Blue" ! Thanks a lot Boss Ferry Corsten, thanks a lot Twan van Loon, you have scored ! Geweldig ! Dank je wel !

[Soloadriantraveler]

I remember the first time I heard it on the radio back in 1998 when commercial radio stations in Sydney played Trance. It burst out of the speakers and into my mind. It was so fresh and uplifting and very different to the synthesiser stuff from the 80's that I was use to.

[Dave-Red]

Nothing comes close to Trance Nation 1 - It's an absolute epic and the best compilation of Trance ever compiled.

[ifltrance]

Thank you ferry for a timeless masterpiece that still gives a buzz many years on.

[CraigDirty]

I think "out of the blue" influenced the next 10 years of Trance more then any other track. From this point on everyone was trying to get that big sound.

[johnnyvegas]

This track kicks the ass of everything....love it to this day...much love from Canada

[Sam_]

I'm convinced the world genuinely wouldn't be the same without this track. Love your interviews Twan, especially the ones with Ferry. The story of them sending out the records is so cool.

[jb]

Out of the blue was the first CD I ever bought and the tune that confirmed my love for trance. Still a classic 20+ years on

[CryptonNite]

I remeber hearing "Out Of The Blue" for the first time around 1999 on a german compilation called "Dream Dance" (Vol. 12 I think was it...). I was blown away from that sound.
My favourite remix is the remix by Showtek.
Thanks Ferry for this epic track.

[DanielLawson]

That tune! Brings back so many great memories growing up and hearing new trance records. It was Great to see the master 20 years later. Love the MOS trance nation album he remixed!

[konczdavid]

It's one of my favourite tracks of all time! Thank you for making this interview. :D
