Paul van Dyk Drops First Tune From His Upcoming Album

Raising the curtain not just on a new season, but Mission: Guiding Light – the advance guard tour for his hotly-anticipated 2020 LP – Paul van Dyk serves that trance justice again. Following in the wake of ‘Galaxy’ – September’s Vini Vici-collaborating walk on the Psy-side, ‘Parallel Dimension’ swings back around to that instantaneously identifiable, classically floor-flaming PvD sonic.

Stream ‘Parallel Dimension’:

For the track, Paul’s been joined at the mixing desk by a producer who may be a new name to some. Elated’s Graeme Knapp arrived on the trance reservation a couple of years back and amongst those with their ear to the ground swiftly started to build a reputation for himself. A number of his early releases found their way to Paul and after some positive-noise-type feedback, the Canadian reached out.

What they’ve collectively worked up is an autumn-beating trance thunderbolt, which places clubbers heartstrings square between the crosshairs, whilst simultaneously planting their feet on the floor. With a no-prisoners tempo, hallmark PvD bass, from-within chords, awww-inspiring sub-melodies and kiss-the-sky mainline, ‘Parallel Dimension’s got the lot. Your first taste of what ‘Guiding Light’ will bring drops today.

Paul van Dyk commenced Mission: Guiding Light tour operations on October 31 at Miami’s Treehouse.
