“Ferry demolishes all competition with a labour of love that has definitely been worth the wait,” our reviewer wrote of Ferry Corsten’s last album, Twice In A Blue Moon. “Trance is in safe hands.” It’s now been almost four years since that high benchmark, and on February 24 2012, Corsten will deliver his fourth studio album WKND through the Ultra Music label.

The Dutch veteran has been teasing out details of the LP for a while now, but now he’s made it official with cover art and the confirmed tracklist. Included on the disc is Feel It, his peaktime rework of house classic Can You Feel It, the now-familiar Brute alongside Armin van Buuren, and plenty of guest vocals from the likes of Jes, Betsie Larkin and Ben Hague. According to the press release, there’s a handful of tracks in the “pop radio-friendly” mould, which might upset the fans who got all worked up about lead single Check It Out.

“It definitely has very big, anthemic melodies as always,” Corsten told Data Transmission last year. “What may change is the track tempo though; nowadays this is definitely lower and not 140-BPM any more. This album is more in-tune with the times and the different variances. So, in short – it’s at a lower BPM but with the big, lush melodies!”
