It’s been eight rotations since Ferry Corsten gave us 2017’s ‘Blueprint’, and in the interim it’s become one his most fan-revered and critically applauded longplayers to date. Now Ferry’s opened the album’s vault, passing the stem keys to some of the next generation’s brightest studio hopes.
First to receive are fellow Netherlanders Misja Helsloot and Michael de Kooker, who together, have delivered one of their seismic Helsløwed reprints. Since its release, Ferry and HALIENE’s ‘Wherever You Are’ has carried heartbreak and hope to clubfloors in equal measure. Now Helsløwed have restructured that dynamic into something singularly ‘2025’.
Through their signature “low tempo, high energy” production ethic, the duo have approached ‘Wherever’ through a more progressive vector. Making it as much about the late night atmospheres as the early morning clubfloors, they work in tempered builds, filmic textures, bass palpitation and drops deep enough to dive into.
Cycling between distance and devotion, HALIENE’s lyrics are lent a renewed sense of gravity through Misja and Michael’s reprint. Through dark, stormy drums, warping FX, and a simmering tension that swells its break through to its end, they capture Ferry and HALIENE through the Helsløwed lens.
Leaning into the album’s legacy, the ‘Wherever You Are’ marks the first of six ‘Blueprint’ reworks forthcoming through Black Hole Recordings. Find the track ‘Wherever’ wherever the best music is sold or streamed here!

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Ferry Corsten x HALIENE - "Wherever You Are" (Helsløwed Reprint) stands as a masterclass in progressive trance production, meticulously crafted to resonate with DJs and trance enthusiasts alike. Helsløwed’s signature "low tempo, high energy" ethos is fully realized in this reprint, making it a versatile addition to any set, whether it's for peak-time club floors or atmospheric late-night sessions. At the core of this track is its carefully engineered 126 BPM tempo, striking a balance between driving momentum and melodic expansiveness. This BPM range is particularly effective for DJs, as it allows seamless transitions with both higher-energy progressive tracks and deeper, more introspective compositions. The tempo also provides enough space for intricate layering without overwhelming the auditory experience. The production shines through its tempered builds and filmic textures, creating dynamic shifts that keep the listener engaged. Helsløwed employs techniques such as gradual automation of filter sweeps and reverb tails to construct immersive breakdowns, adding to the track's emotional depth. The bass design features palpating, side-chained low-end elements that provide rhythmic propulsion, making it both physically engaging on the dancefloor and sonically rich for headphone listeners. Misja and Michael’s treatment of HALIENE’s vocals is another standout feature. Through precise vocal processing—utilizing subtle pitch modulation, layered harmonies, and spatial effects like delay and reverb—they amplify the emotional gravitas of the lyrics. This not only enhances the melodic narrative but also offers DJs opportunities for creative mixing, such as isolating the vocals for mashups or live edits. The track’s drops are engineered for maximum impact, characterized by dark, stormy drums and warping FX that create a sense of escalating tension. Helsløwed’s use of dynamic range compression ensures that each drop hits with clarity and power, essential for cutting through dense club sound systems. The incorporation of anthemic synths with progressive trance influences adds an epic, uplifting dimension, catering to diverse crowd energies. For DJs, "Wherever You Are" (Helsløwed Reprint) offers technical excellence and emotional resonance. Its versatile tempo, intricate production techniques, and powerful vocal delivery make it a standout choice for sets aiming to blend melodic storytelling with dancefloor energy. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
