Gouryella

The musical brains behind the act GOURYELLA are the influential Dutch producers and DJ's Ferry Corsten and Tijs Verwest aka DJ Ti�sto.

Ferry Corsten is the powerfull force & producer behind the Tsunami label and is the man behind the acts such as MOONMAN and SYSTEM F who brought you tracks such as "Out Of The Blue" and "Cry". Ferry also has various remixes under his belt for U2, Space Brothers and of course his most succesfull to date being his "Adagio For Strings" remix for William Orbit. Tijs Verwest produces for several projects such as MAJOR LEAGUE (a joint project with Armin van Buuren) and of course DJ Tiesto on his succesfull Black Hole label. Both Tijs and Ferry are well respected DJ's who spin their tunes in the best clubs around the world and bring their sound to over a million people a year. In 1998 Ferry and Tijs decided to produce together under the GOURYELLA name and hence GOURYELLA was born. The act name GOURYELLA is a reference to the hereafter of the Aboriginals. The first same name single "Gouryella" is a phenomenal piece of trance, with a strong song structure and a wicked drive. The single entered the U.K. Top 75 single charts at #15 and became a worldwide hit. The "Gouryella" single is accompanied by a fully animated-video, in which a swinging Aboriginal is taking the lead-part and is on the look out for a record deal (in case you�re wondering: yes, he succeeded!).


Inspired by the big success of "Gouryella", Ferry en Ti�sto hit the studio together again and came up with their more commercially orientated follow-up single, entitled "Walhalla". Complemented with excellent remixes by Hybrid and Armin van Buuren "Walhalla" became again an international success and entered the UK single chart at a #27 position. Having established the GOURYELLA act worldwide after the international rollout campaign of the "Walhalla" single Ferry and Ti�sto again hit the magic spot. The new GOURYELLA single is entitled "Tenshi" and with "Tenshi" Ferry and Tiesto have produced a massive single without compromising the underground club credibility of the act. The melodic hook in "Tenshi" will grab you, hold you and won't let you go. With the extended version already being picked up on white label by the big DJ boys watch out for the full release on Tsunami in September 2000 containing additional quality Transa and new kid on the block Ronald Klinkenberg mixes. The international campaign and impact of this het single will be massive and severe we promise you!
