System F is the best-known alias of one of the world's best
electronic music producers, Ferry Corsten. System F's debut single,
'Out Of The Blue', was first released in 1999 on Tsunami, Ferry's
imprint around those days.
There are almost no limits to what impact "Out Of The Blue" made
on the music scene around that time. Not only did it become a
massive chart hit in many countries, but it completely changed what
electronic music was about at that time, and it was the first
noteable milestone which opened doors for the second generation of
big trance jocks, being Ferry Corsten, Tiësto and Armin van Buuren.
"Out Of The Blue" was licensed to U.K.. Spain, Japan, Germany,
France, Australia and many more, ended up on millions of
compilation copies, and topped various international hit
charts.
Obviously Ferry continued with the System F project, launching
the beautiful vocal single "Cry" as follow-up, with original
remixes by Oliver Lieb and Rank 1.
Later singles were the anthem for 2001's Dance Valley, Holland's
biggest outdoor dance festival, and a collaboration with Armin van
Buuren on the track "Exhale". All these gems and many more
(including a song with Soft Cell's Marc Almond) can be found on the
album 'Out Of The Blue'. A remastered re-release of the album is
scheduled for February 22nd 2010, where the original album will be
complimented with a second disc with many of the original remixes
and unreleased material.
The name System F comes from Ferry's systematic way of
producing, as he always start with looking for a melody, then fills
in the bass and kick, and so on, and so on, and the F
obviously stands for fantastic, fabulous, Ferry!
