Last night, Ferry Corsten came back to Houston to play at Rich’s.
Although Rich’s has been around for a few years, I had never been there. I was a bit surprised at how large it was, and it reminded me somewhat of a discotheque in Europe. There was no apparent theme or color scheme, which is not at all like the current club/lounge scene in Houston.
Usually, the opening DJs at these events have, quite frankly, sucked. They generally try to play something so far removed from what the headliner is playing that it’s absolutely boring. I was pleased to see that this wasn’t the case last night; the DJ before Ferry played some great trance, including the Signum mix of Above & Beyond - Can’t Sleep.
By the time Ferry came on, the crowd was energized. Ferry did not disappoint. He played many of his own tracks, but also some newer songs that I love, such as Kirsty Hawkshaw Meets Tenishia - Outsiders (Cosmic Gate Mix). Of course, the highlight of the night was when he played Beautiful. I remember hearing that track in Dance Valley and it sounded amazing there. However, Dance Valley is outside so the sound quality is not as good as a club. At Rich’s, it sounded much louder and clearer…
Towards the end of the night, Ferry got much more progressive. He ended up playing two and a half hours, which is not bad at all. His last few songs were more melodic and he ended with a CLASSIC: Veracocha - Carte Blanche…

It was a very fun night! I wonder if anyone has a recording of it somewhere out there on the interweb…
