Connect is the sixth album released by Dutch DJ Ferry Corsten under his own name, and his eleventh overall. The album was released on November 22, 2024, on Corsten's own label, Flashover Recordings.[1]
Corsten said in a statement that the album summarises the "different phases of [his] career" and his "evolution as a music producer" through multiple music genres.[1]
The album features contributions from several vocalists, including Chris Howard, Diandra Faye and Sierra Volt, as well as AI-generated vocals. It also features contributions from multiple producers, such as Marsh, Silva City and 22Bullets.[2]
Release
[edit]Almost every song from the album was released as a single beforehand, and each single release would feature the previous singles as part of the release until almost the entire album was featured on the single. The exceptions to this were the first three singles, "Connect", "Mind Trip" and "Yes Man", which featured only the title tracks and their respective extended mixes.[3] The only two tracks from the album not released as singles are "Happy Hour" and "Wish".
A live album showcase event took place on 19 October 2024[3] before the album was released on 22 November.
The album, and singles, were accompanied by the extended mixes of each track featured. The 'extended mixes' edition of the album was released exclusively on Beatport, while other streaming services only featured the standard edition.[4]
