- French trance live project Mirage (Ferry Tayle & TonKs) has signed with Corson Agency for North American touring representation.
- The deal is led by agents Clayton Lineberger and Leo Corson.
- Mirage performs full live hardware-synth sets rather than standard DJ sets, a point of difference in the trance touring circuit.
- The project is also represented by Denton Artist Management.
French trance producers Ferry Tayle and TonKs, performing as Mirage, have signed with Corson Agency for exclusive live music and touring representation across North America. The deal is led by agents Clayton Lineberger and Leo Corson.
Ferry Tayle and TonKs first teamed up in 2006, releasing “Vol de Nuit” on Bonzai Records. In 2023, the duo launched Mirage as a dedicated live act, recreating their productions on stage with hardware synthesizers and drum machines instead of a typical DJ set.
Since then, they’ve released ‘Chimera’ on Future Sound of Egypt, followed by ‘Resonate’ and ‘Kiss the Ring’ on Black Hole Recordings, plus ‘Take Your Flight’ on Dreamstate Records.
Their 2026 single “Remember the Future” was aired on Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance, and the project has performed live at Luminosity Beach Festival.
Mirage joins a Corson Agency trance and electronic roster that’s expanded quickly this year. Trance staple Paul Denton signed with Corson Agency for North American representation this week, following Allen Watts’s North American deal with the agency and bass producer Vastive’s signing for North American representation.
For Corson Agency, adding a live-format act broadens its booking catalog beyond standard DJ sets, giving festival bookers a distinct option for main-stage and club programming.
Takeaways
This signing shows Corson Agency isn’t just stacking DJ names; it’s diversifying into acts with genuinely different live formats, which could help Mirage stand out on lineups otherwise dominated by laptop-and-controller sets.
For Ferry Tayle and TonKs, dedicated North American representation could open doors to major US and Canadian trance festivals their DJ-focused peers already headline.
Will Mirage’s hardware-based live show translate into headline slots at North American trance festivals like Dreamstate? Could this push more established DJ duos to launch their own “live-format” side projects?
