01. Giuseppe Ottaviani & Ferry Corsten - Magenta (Fisherman Remix)
02. Giuseppe Ottaviani & Ferry Corsten - Magenta (Fisherman Extended Remix)

In 2023 there’s no better (or neater!) time to remix-rewind a decade to 2013. Incredibly perhaps, it’s now a full 10 since Ferry Corsten collaborated with Giuseppe on the vibrant title track of the latter’s second longplayer. 

Outside of its initial M.I.K.E. and Greg Downey offerings however, it’s one that Giuseppe and Ferry have never sanctioned further official remixes on. That’s all until today though, when ‘Magenta’ turns a markedly different shade!

Giuseppe and Ferry’s idea had always been to wait for an artist who held the promise of ‘diverse’ … and they well and truly found that in Fisherman (Isaac Vissers). In its original form ‘Magenta’ was a swelling synth ‘n’ string-fest, but the Dutchman’s reimagined it as a visceral, high-velocity floor-whacker. Beauty turns full beast-mode, as Isaac ups its tempo, tone, tenacity and, well … pretty much everything else in pursuit of that end-of-the-night boom! 

Testosterone-trance of the highest order, you can sample Fisherman’s ‘Magenta’ here . Don’t forget to hold tight though …

Giuseppe Ottaviani & Ferry Corsten - Magenta (Fisherman Remix)10

Summary

The talented Fisherman is geared towards the release of his album on Black Hole and now he presents his own take on the big classic Magenta by Giuseppe Ottaviani & Ferry Corsten. The Dutch veteran of high class energetic moody dark tech trance meets mainstage and uplifting trance does his best to impress as he employs fat thumping basslines, chunky wonky kicks, spanky drums and techy grooves and percussion. In the breakdown the great euphoric synthy riff is allowed to come at the surface and explode out of any proportion bringing wave so nostaglia and euphoria for the unsuspected listen who should always wait the unexpected from Fisherman. #PureGold Love iT
