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.
