The "Gouryella" project was founded in 1998 by two now great icons of Trance, Ferry Corsten and Tiësto, and quickly gained recognition.
The name "Gouryella" means "heaven" in the Australian Aboriginal language, which fits the ethereal and uplifting nature of their music.
"Gouryella"" is Gouryella's debut single
Ferry Corsten was born on December 4, 1973, in Rotterdam, Netherlands. From a young age, he showed an interest in music, experimenting with various instruments, sound production techniques, and creating his own tracks on the computer. At the age of 16, he produced his first track "Spirit of Adventure". His first steps in the world of electronic music took place in the early 90s when he began creating tracks under various pseudonyms.
In 1996, Ferry Corsten released his first single "Don't Be Afraid" under the pseudonym Moonman, which quickly gained popularity in clubs worldwide. His talent was noticed by leading producers and DJs, opening doors to an international career.
One of the most important moments in Corsten's career was the founding of the System F project in 1999. His debut single "Out of the Blue" became a global hit that defined a new era of trance music.
Simultaneously, within the System F project, the track "Exhale" was created. One of the key elements of "Exhale" is the collaboration with Armin van Buuren, another giant of the trance scene. Their joint efforts resulted in a track that quickly became a hit on club dance floors worldwide. "Brute" is another significant track created by the Corsten and van Buuren duo. Both artists often performed together at major festivals, such as A State of Trance (ASOT) organized by Armin van Buuren, or events promoted by Ferry Corsten.
Ferry Corsten and Armin van Buuren are not only collaborators but also good friends, which they often emphasize in interviews.
Soon after, together with another legendary figure in Trance music from the Netherlands, DJ Tiësto, Ferry created the Gouryella project, which also gained huge popularity thanks to tracks like "Gouryella", "Tenshi", "Ligaya", and "Walhalla".
In the 90s and early 2000s, both DJs were at the forefront of the trance music scene. Collaboration between them was a natural step, given their similar approach to music and shared vision. Their joint projects, such as Gouryella, were the result of this synergy. In later years, Tiësto began exploring other music genres, such as house and EDM, which caused their musical paths to diverge somewhat.
In interviews, both DJs often emphasize mutual respect and appreciation for each other's work.
Tiësto, whose real name is Tijs Michiel Verwest, was born on January 17, 1969, in Breda, Netherlands. He began his music journey at a young age, playing at local parties and clubs. In the 90s, he started gaining popularity as a DJ, and his style evolved from house to trance.
In 1997, Tiësto founded the label Black Hole Recordings with Arny Bink. This label became a platform for his own productions and those of other artists. A breakthrough moment in Tiësto's career came in 1999 when he released a remix of Delerium's track "Silence" featuring Sarah McLachlan. This remix became a global hit and cemented his position in the music scene.
Tiësto has won many awards and accolades throughout his career. He has been nominated for Grammy Awards multiple times and won a Grammy in 2015 for Best Remixed Recording.
Members of the Gouryella project, Ferry Corsten and Tiësto, are legends of electronic music whose impact on the trance scene and electronic music is invaluable. Thanks to their works, they have become some of the most respected and beloved electronic music artists in the world.
