Royale Nightclub was alive and ready to go, Monday night, as superstar trance DJ Ferry Corsten stopped in to give Boston fans yet another night to remember, in what has already been an incredible Spring season for Royale; playing host to the likes of Markus Schulz, Krewella, Gramatik, Cazzette, and many more.
Coming off an exciting month of March, in which he performed at three ASOT 600 events (Sofia, Miami, and NYC) and the announcement of his collaboration project, New World Punx, with Markus Schulz, Ferry's energy was running high. In an age when old school trance heads are starting to cry out "trance is dying!" as it rises in popularity in the United States, Ferry turned in a performance that would be sure to silence these detractors.
Opting away from the complex visuals and overpowering lights that accompany most DJ sets these days, Ferry kept it all about the music, with a simple yet strong LED backdrop, and some well-placed lasers. Those in attendance couldn't seem to get enough, as Ferry kept the show going past our city's puritan-inspired 2 a.m. curfew. Although the show was slightly smaller than many of the shows this spring, perhaps given that it was on a Monday, there was an incredible vibe throughout the night. Ferry played quite a diverse set, weaving in some of his tunes, as well as sampling some particularly surprising artists, including a remix of The Bloody Beetroots.
With three Above & Beyond shows at Royale next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and Armin van Buuren hitting Ocean Club on Sunday the 26th, this show was just what we needed to get us in the mood for a serious trance binge!
