Veracocha - thanks Netherlands
Veracocha is a trance project by two Dutch producers called Ferry Corsten and Vincent de Moor. They produced some real HQ tunes so I think well worth to include them on a Dance Weekend post. Both had also solo success under various synonyms. As joint project they created this hymn "Carte Blanche" that has to be in every trance standard DJ set I sure all the experts agree. The song hit the public in 1999 and was remixed and re-released since then quite often. See some remixes below by Alex M.O.R.P.H and Cosmic Gate.
The duo also became famous by doing a fantastic remix of Ayla by Ayla:
Ferry Corsten
Ferry has been born in Rotterdam - the city of the real hardcore Techno I learned in the 1990ies - but he is a Trance guy and well known too for producing tracks under announced aliases like System F, Moorman, Gouryella and Pulp Victim. Currently he became a bit more commercial and broad in his electronic music style including more styles such as progressive house and plays the main events such as Tomorrowland. He even hosts his own weekly radio show called , Corsten's Countdown.
See him live playing in Belgium during Tomorrowland last year:
Get into his different music during the years by checking the following awesome mix including some of his works under different aliases. Ferry is for sure one of the best Trance producers of the last 20 years - maybe not as popular / knows as the likes of Armin van Buuren or Tiesto but he created timeless tunes especially in the Trance Space.
Vincent de Mor
Vincent is also a true trance pioneer. Being modest he created also a lot via his solo paths. His main solo success has been Fly Away which he produced in 2001 and reached #30 in the UK charts:
One does not know a lot about his private life - there is no single interview with him available. He is not active in the music scene anymore but seem to enjoy consuming it and also the fact a lot people love to listen to his ground breaking pioneer tracks - a compilation of his works below:
