Before he was a global trance figurehead, Ferry Corsten was a one-man alias factory — and he's just shed light on some of the more obscure ones.
In a video appearance surrounded by vinyl, the Dutch producer named two lesser-known early identities: Elektrika, which released 'It Makes Me Move' on Tsunami Records, and A Jolly Good Fellow, his first house venture on Dutch label Blue Records in the mid-1990s.
A deep catalogue of alter egos
Those sit alongside the aliases fans already know — System F, Gouryella (with Tiësto), Moonman, Pulp Victim, Sidewinder and The Nutter — and Corsten made clear there are more. "If you want to know all of them, go to Discogs.com and find out," he said. He credited Tsunami Records as the launchpad for his defining early work.
It's a neat window into an era when producers hid prolific output behind a rotating cast of names — and a reminder that one of trance's biggest artists built his foundation across a sprawling, largely undocumented archive of identities.
