In 2015, his track "Anahera" was chosen as "Tune of the Year" on Armin van Buuren's show A State of Trance.
"Gorella" and "In Walhalla" were B-sides and were not released in the UK, although they did appear on the respective German and Dutch import albums.
[5] After the success of "Gouryella", Corsten and Tiësto hit the studio together again and came up with their more commercially orientated follow-up single, entitled "Walhalla".
Complemented with vocals by Rachel Spier, "Walhalla" became again an international success and solidified Gouryella's status as a production duo.
[10] On October 24, 1999, Corsten and Tiësto were profiled on an episode of the Dutch TV show Lola da Musica, documenting their gigs in Ibiza and Glasgow, and the making of "Walhalla".
[15] On December 27, 2001, Bink contacted the site and handed over a statement from Tiësto, which read: I regret the fact that Ferry and I don't have the time to make a new Gouryella.
[16]Just a few minutes after this statement was handed to Trance.nu, another message was sent to the site, this time from Dessaur, who announced that there would be a new single in the spring of 2002 on Purple Eye.
Following the departure of Tiësto, Corsten would collaborate with Dutch composer John Ewbank to produce the fourth Gouryella single.
Resident Advisor reviewed "Ligaya" and gave it a score of 4.5 out of 5, saying: "Regardless this track is big, the percussion is used to perfection in the break giving the track enough emotion to compete the best of them, similar in style to William Orbit's Barber's Adagio for Strings which also received massive recognition with a Ferry Corsten mix.
Ferry commented, "I've read some rumors on the internet about a new track called "Maya"... Can somebody send me a link, I'm very curious to hear it myself too!.
[23][24] With the support of Corsten, Tiësto and Aly & Fila, in just a few days time the track made it to the #3 position,[23][25] with proceeds being donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
[26] After a 13-year break, Ferry Corsten announced the return of his Gouryella alias with a new uplifting trance track called "Anahera",[27] which was released on June 15, 2015, through Flashover Recordings.
[30][31][32] When asked about his decision to revive his trance moniker, Corsten told Fuse: "I felt like bringing Gouryella back for a certain personal tiredness of what was going on in the scene.
[36][37] From here the Rotterdam native will continue his charge of international festivals as he takes Gouryella to events such as Ultra Europe, Balaton Sound, Tomorrowland and many more.
