Some records become inseparable from the artists who created them. For Ferry Tayle and Tonks, “Vol De Nuit” holds that kind of significance. Originally released in 2006, it marked the beginning of their shared musical journey. Twenty years later, the Mirage 20th Anniversary Mix brings that starting point into the present, arriving on Black Hole Recordings on November 13, 2026.
The composition’s dreamy, uplifting character provides the emotional foundation for this return. Its melodic identity belongs to a tradition of trance built around atmosphere, recognition and a sense of escape. Those qualities give “Vol De Nuit” its appeal across generations: a connection to a particular era for established listeners, and an introduction to the pair’s musical roots for those discovering their work through Mirage.
Returning to where it began
The story behind “Vol De Nuit” makes this anniversary especially personal. Black Hole Recordings describes it as the first music the two friends made together, created in Michel’s bedroom with Chicane and Ferry Corsten among their inspirations. That background places the track within a period when their shared musical interests were beginning to take shape.
Ferry Tayle subsequently developed an extensive catalogue across labels including Enhanced Recordings, Future Sound of Egypt and Armada, while Tonks continued his own production work. Their reunion as Mirage in 2023 opened another chapter in that partnership, centred on live performance and a shared enthusiasm for melodic trance.
Revisiting “Vol De Nuit” through Mirage gives the anniversary a clear artistic connection. The same two musicians are returning to a composition from their earliest collaboration through the project that now brings them together.
A familiar melody within the current Mirage story
Melodic, uplifting trance is the natural frame for “Vol De Nuit,” with its nostalgic atmosphere central to the anniversary’s identity. The attraction lies in the composition and the memories attached to it, alongside the opportunity to introduce that material to a newer audience.
Its inclusion in Mirage’s performance on A State Of Trance 1295 gives this return a concrete place within their current repertoire. Appearing alongside “Don’t Ever Let Go” and “Kiss The Ring,” the anniversary interpretation was already connecting their past and present ahead of its official release.
For DJs, that connection makes it an appealing selection for an emotional passage within a melodic set, particularly when contemporary productions and familiar classics share the same musical direction.
TranceAttack Verdict
“Vol De Nuit” carries the kind of anniversary that has a meaningful story behind it. The composition, the artists and the Mirage project are closely connected, giving this release a clear place within Ferry Tayle and Tonks’ continuing collaboration.
The strongest attraction is its melodic identity. The dreamy, uplifting character associated with the track captures an enduring part of trance’s appeal: music that invites an emotional connection and gives listeners something recognisable to return to. Bringing that material into the Mirage repertoire gives the anniversary a purpose within the duo’s present work.
For long-standing followers, this is an opportunity to reconnect with an important early release. For newer listeners, it offers a revealing introduction to the partnership behind Mirage. That combination of musical character, personal history and contemporary relevance makes “Vol De Nuit” a particularly worthwhile return. An anniversary with substance, and a strong addition to the story Ferry Tayle and Tonks are still writing together.
