Hey everyone, Arty here and I wanna share some thoughts with you that I've been living with for a while now.
First, thanks to all of you for being with me in this amazing musical journey, I just realized it's already been 9 years since I'm doing what I love the most and your support is the one of the few things that keeps me motivated and inspired, 
I appreciate it so much and I always will!
But I also appreciate the desire to explore myself in different musical styles, trying something new and pushing this idea forward all the time. Since the beginning of my career I've always been saying that I don't wanna stuck in one certain genre, and the reason is not because I don't like it anymore. The real reason that is for me as an artist, listening, getting inspired and making as much diverse music as possible is one of the things that helps my creativity and keeps me from being stagnated as a musician...which is the worst.
That's why at some point the music I was making has started to go further and further away from its original roots. 
Some of you accepted it, some if you didn't. Yet all of the records I made always came from my soul, whether it's trance, dance or pop. Over these years I've been always listening to your feedback. You might think that for an artist it's extremely easy to start ignoring his fans, their demands and just do what his heart or mind says. 
Well, it's not. And that's where idea of discovering new sound clashes with listener's voice and all of this happens in my head. "IN MY HEAD", so don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about it. Your feedback and support was always with me throughout this journey, but when some of my records didn't match your expectation, unconsciously I started to build this pressure on my shoulders and I started to compromise my music in an effort to make both me and my fans satisfied.
2016 was amazing year for me. It was a year of re-discovering myself as an artist and as a person as well, considering it took me a minute to get out of my album's routine and its aftermath, which was close to a nightmare. But the freedom afterwards felt like nothing else. I didn't feel myself so inspired and productive in a long time, and it was probably the first time I opened my eyes so wide. Closer to the end of last year I noticed how much my music was different from what I've done in the past, and I felt like I had been neglecting my long-time fans and it didn't feel fair. And that's how I came up with idea of bringing the Alpha 9 alias back. It gives me the freedom to not be bounded to a specific genre, allowing me to experiment and keep pushing my boundaries with Arty, while I can be as close as possible to my long-time fans using Alpha 9 moniker.
I remember myself as a 17 year old kid, running back home from university classes every day, absolutely blinded by just the idea of making music. No pressure from managers, labels or promoters, just pure passion. For the first time in a long time I feel like that kid again and I don't feel this pressure anymore.
Also I wanna make it really clear, although Alpha 9 is still me, it's a totally separate project from Arty, focused on totally different music. I'm taking Arty music further towards the dance scene, while Alpha 9 will be a progressive/trance oriented project, this applies to branding, releases and live sets.
Below is the link for my first track back as Alpha 9 "The Night is Ours" that came out today on Armind.

PAUL VAN DYK & PIERRE PIENAAR – STRONGER TOGETHER 

Holiday flights are airborne, Ibiza’s floors are heaving, festival season’s in high gear and the weather, well, it seems to be done disgracing itself for now. Yes indeed, summer’s well and truly upon us. Something’s still amiss though and we reckon you’ve already put your finger on what that is! 

A hot-season embracing, see-you-down-the-front PvD floor-roar is what’s required and right on cue, everyone’s favourite trance vanguard drops one into July’s frame. (Didn’t seriously think he was going to leave you hanging, right?!) So break out yer summer clobber, lace up that clubbing rubber and get ready to have sun-season 2017 refined and thoroughly defined by the epic ‘Stronger Together’.

Without giving too much away, placing future talent in the spotlight will play a key part in Paul’s agenda over the next 12 months. That gets underway with his first side-by-side with the eminently gifted Pierre Pienaar. Through ‘Far Away’, and most recently ‘Higher State’, solo, Pierre’s already squared a number of sure-shot rockers into VANDIT’s net. Now the Namibian born-&-based producer is stepping up for his first PvD collab. 

Thematically, ‘Stronger Together’s centre of gravity remains close to the Spring-released uplifter ‘Touched By Heaven’. Instrumental to its core, Paul & Pierre construct a primetime-directed rhythm and tempo for the track. Those summertime sensibilities are writ 10ft large throughout, as the pair thread azure-ish harmonics, cursive synths and an absolute TKO of a mainline into its production. 

More lift than Boeing, greater thrust than Ferrari and purer summer sublimation than several rounds of mojitos, ‘Stronger Together’ is Trance to love on a cellular level. Best of all, it reaches Spotify and all good download shores today (21.07.17).

Paul van Dyk - I AM ALIVE
Fouth Single from Forthcoming Album, From Then On, Out October 20th 

Paul van Dyk will tomorrow release a new song, I AM ALIVE. The single serves as the fourth offering from van Dyk’s forthcoming album, From Then On, which is out on October 20th on VANDIT Records. Previously released singles include Touched by Heaven, Everyone Needs Love with Ronald van Gelderen feat. Gaelan & Lumiere, and Stronger Together with Pierre Pienaar.

I AM ALIVE is a gorgeously upbeat tune from one of trance’s most iconic artists. Full of sweeping melodic synths and pulsing at a thumping 138 bpm, I AM ALIVE is another classic release that sets a high bar for van Dyk’s imminent album. 

The name of the single is an acknowledgement to Paul’s newfound appreciation for life, after overcoming a near death experience. It is indeed the first track he produced after the accident in 2016. Having gone through months of recuperation, van Dyk emerged from the tragedy with a reinvigorated quench for life and renewed passion to live every moment to the fullest.

From Then On is a reflection of Paul van Dyk’s rediscovered passion for life and music. The album was made in the months following the accident, produced and recorded with various friends and collaborators around the world. The album was made without any A&R, and is arguably the most personal project so far to date in van Dyk’s career.

Paul van Dyk ft. Plumb - Music Rescues Me (Lyrics Video)
Get your copy now https://apple.co/2NKCEPM

‘Music Rescues Me’ is the single trailblazer for Paul van Dyk’s fall-released, ninth studio album of the same name. It reunites the internationally renowned music producer with collaborators from not one, but two of his best loved releases of recent times.

For the track’s vocal, Paul is joined by Plumb - the singer who rendered 2012’s ‘I Don’t Deserve You’ much of its emotional punch. ‘Music Rescues Me’s song is co-penned by the lyricist behind latter-day van Dyk anthem ‘Home’, Snow Patrol member and long-time personal friend, Johnny McDaid. 

Paul & Plumb’s shared history reaches back three whole PvD albums, to ‘EVOLUTION’ and ‘I Don’t Deserve You’. Beloved by fans from both quarters, the pair stayed in close contact, looking for the right project to resume the partnership on. That came following a songwriting session between Paul and Johnny. “It took some time, but, says Paul, in ‘Music Rescues Me’, I knew we had the right follow-up for Plumb”. 

Paul’s album opener is a rapture-filled commemoration of music’s remarkable, unending and sometimes even inexplicable capacity to liberate and release. Says Paul “music’s ability to conjure imagery, fuel memories, get us through the tougher times and soundtrack the good ones is awe inspiring. It’s both force and a gift and although I’ve been involved with it for a long time, I’ll never completely understand it. I feel that’s a big part of what keeps it so magical for me and Plumb & Johnny have helped me pay tribute to all that through this release”.

Set amidst epic, reverb-rich guitars strains and dynamic rhythms, ‘Music Rescues Me’ is a track whose rapturously positive-thinking/feeling chorus is only equalled by its imaginatively stimulating verses. It follows three urbanites drawn together on a day-and-night-long, ultimately preternatural journey across Los Angeles. 

Paul & Plumb’s ‘Music Rescues Me’ is out today through VANDIT Records today. You can purchase it here: https://apple.co/2NKCEPM
