Dutch electronic music heavyweight Joris Voorn turns his attention to one of trance music’s most cherished records with a new rework of Don’t Be Afraid, originally created by Ferry Corsten under his legendary Moonman alias.

First released in 1996 on Sci-Fi Records, Don’t Be Afraid quickly became one of the defining tracks of trance’s golden era alongside fellow Moonman productions Galaxia and First Light. Its unforgettable synth melody and emotional energy helped introduce Ferry Corsten’s production talents to a global audience and played a significant role in shaping the sound of late-’90s trance.

Now, nearly three decades later, Voorn revisits the iconic record with a careful balance of respect and reinvention. Retaining the original’s euphoric melody and emotional core, his interpretation adds a powerful low-end, driving groove and crisp percussion designed for modern club systems while preserving everything that made the original so memorable.

The result is a rework that effortlessly bridges generations of dance music fans — delivering a rush of nostalgia for longtime listeners while introducing a new audience to one of trance’s most enduring anthems. Rather than simply updating the record, Voorn pays tribute to its legacy, allowing its timeless melodies to shine within a contemporary framework.
