FEATURING FERRY CORSTEN
PRESENTED BY SOUTHERN COMFORT
A pioneer and dynamic force in the electronic/dance music world, Ferry Corsten never ceases to amaze, awe and challenge his musical contemporaries with the unstoppable ingenuity and skill he injects into his productions and DJ sets. His new album L.E.F. (LOUD ELECTRONIC FEROCIOUS), recently released on ULTRA Records, features guest vocalists Simon LeBon, Howard Jones, Guru, Debra Andrew, Oz and Denise Stahlie. Upon its release, the record reached #1 on the iTunes Dance charts.
Corsten, who has sold-out numerous performances world-wide, was named Producer of the Year at the Ericsson Muzik Awards in 1999 (over P. Diddy, Rodney Jerkins and others) and received the win for Best Remix at the Dance Star UK Awards in 2000 (William Orbit- Barber's Adagio for Strings). He’s also received multiple Winter Music Conference nominations for Best International DJ, video, compilation, producer and remixer; was named Best Trance DJ at the 2005 DJ Awards; and has done numerous successful remixes for Moby, U2, Fischerspooner and Duran Duran, among others.
The annual New Orleans celebration is set to take place over its traditional Halloween weekend (Saturday, October 28 and Sunday, October 29) and music fans can once again look forward to a diverse line-up of talent reflecting the multitude of cultures which define the city. The eclectic mix of talent that the annual New Orleans’ music festival has become known for so far includes: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Duran Duran, Wu-Tang Clan, The Flaming Lips, My Chemical Romance, Social Distortion, Kings of Leon, Ozomatli, Secret Machines, Blue October, Brazilian Girls, Broken Social Scene, The Fiery Furnaces, Joseph Arthur, Drive-By Truckers, Jack’s Mannequin, Yerba Buena and The Rentals.
This year marks not only the return of the two-day musical convergence to New Orleans, but the return of the event to its rightful home in City Park, after being displaced and relocated by last year’s hurricanes.
