Week 21 : Rank 1 – Awakening (Ferry Corsten Remix)
The two people behind the ‘Rank 1’ project are Dutchmen Piet Bervoets and Benno de Goeij. They met each other in 1997 on a party of a mutual friend. In 1999 they released the first track called ‘Airwave’ under the name Rank 1. This tune became the official anthem for ID&T’s ‘Innercity’ party that was held in December 1999. ‘Airwave’ is probably one of the most famous trance anthems ever.
Besides their productions and famous remixes for Cygnus X, System F, Baby D, Delerium, Ayumi Hamasaki and others, ‘Rank 1’ is also well known for their live acts at festivals such as ‘Trance Energy’ and ‘Sensation’ for example.
In 2002 the ‘Rank 1’ track ‘Awakening’ was released on the ID&T label. In the radio edit of the track, you can hear a very short whispering vocal. This vocal was performed by Olga Zegers, who’s working for ID&T. The remixes of the track are done by the German duo Cosmic Gate, Benicio (Done by Rank 1’s Benno de Goeij himself) and of course Ferry Corsten also made a remix of this track!
Early March 2003 the video for ‘Awakening’ was shot in Antwerpen (Belgium). The video contains shots of illegal houseparties, and fast, pimped cars.
The ’Awakening’ track scored very well and because it sold over 10.000 vinyl copies, it reached the golden status in The Netherlands. ID&T’s labelmanager Dick de Groot handed over a golden record to Piet and Benno. This was the third golden record for ‘Rank 1’.
