    With over 25 years of studio experience, a discography full of massive hit singles, and an undeniable track record as a composer, Ferry Corsten knows exactly how to navigate a studio with ease.  He has become one of the most authoritative figures in dance with seminal Trance classics such as “Out Of The Blue” (as System F) and “Gouryella” (as Gouryella).  Now, he is ready to share his craft with the next generation of music producers with his first-ever Masterclass on Armada University and FaderPro.  Ferry Corsten’s “In The Studio” class explains why he boasts an impressive remix résumé that includes top artists U2, Moby, Faithless, The Killers, William Orbit, Duran Duran, Public Enemy, Nelly Furtado, X-Factor winner Melanie Amaro and many more.

    “Ferry is one of the first dance music artists who enjoyed major global success and he continues to have an undeniably strong presence within the scene to this day. He is an artist many young producers look up to due to the role he’s played in shaping today’s electronic music scene and that makes him the go-to person to teach those next-gen music makers how to make an impact with their music.”
