Paul van Dyk's VONYC Sessions 038

If your ‘Politics Of Dancing 3’ anticipation levels aren’t scraping the sky already, well this will surely put them there… In a first-time production link-up, Paul van Dyk has collaborated with trance pharaohs Aly & Fila - reteaming in the process with vocal doyen/regular muse Sue McLaren for the magnificent, astounding ‘Guardian’.

Together for the first time, three producers, long celebrated for wowing the clubbing lands with their height-of-the-night productions… Club combustion can be but bare minutes away, right!!? 

Well, yes and no… Over the late December/early January weeks, the Original Mix roared across floors, claiming the #2 spot on Beatport’s trance chart in the process. With the trio’s new Sunrise & Sunset mixes however, Paul, Aly & Fadi drop some expectation-subverting versions into ‘Guardian’s equation. Unexpected, different  - surprising even, their more recumbent tones, dovetailed to Sue’s sweetly sung vocals & bittersweet lyrics, mass to take music lovers to places they may never wish to return from!

For his mix, Goodgreef’s Jordan Suckley goes pole-to-pole delivering a rework that seismically blasts ‘Guardian’ through to the heart of 6am. Tough, on an almost cellular level, Suckley’s thunderous remap will thoroughly test the mettle of your club’s speakers! 

Last but by no means least, Pedro Del Mar & R.I.B take the track on a chilled ride to the lounge side. Linking the circle back to the Sunrise & Sunset Mixes, the pair deliver a richly produced, brilliantly structured ‘ride-home’ revision.

Tracklist:

01: Guardian (Sunrise Mix)
02: Guardian (Sunset Mix)
03: Guardian (Jordan Suckley Remix)
04: Guardian (Pedro Del Mar & R.I.B Chillout Mix)

LIGHTS feat. Sue McLaren - out August 14th including remixes by Giuseppe Ottaviani, Owen Westlake and Wee-O.

Following (per MIXMAG) the “captivating” long-player’s release in May, ‘Lights’ established itself as a frontrunner favourite with PvD devotees and its single release (Paul states) is “simply my response to their response!”

The single’s release is completed with a trance translation from Giuseppe Ottaviani, Wee-O’s irrepressibly uplifting, festival-minded rework, a housier creation from bright-young-thing Owen Westlake and an enigmatic, ether-steeped official vid from US features director/producer, Adam Mason.

(R)EVOLUTION: THE REMIXES encompasses fresh-off-the-desk reworkings from a full company of van Dyk’s fellow production studionauts.  Also included is the radio edit of “Such A Feeling” ft. Austin Leeds and vocalist Elijah King, a remake of the instrumental “Verano” that has never been available in North America before.  Leading the charge is the production brotherhood of Woody van Eyden and Alex M.O.R.P.H., who are respectively tasked with retakes of “Sun After Heartbreak” and “Such A Feeling.” Drawing on a wealth of harmonics, thermal synths and Sue McLaren's and Elijah King's vocal talents, they reposition PvD’s original versions in an entirely new light. 

Musical mutineers Kyau & Albert, Maarten De Jong and John O’Callaghan zoom in on some more big room aspects.  Their radical interpretations of “Open My Eyes,” “Symmetries” and “I Don’t Deserve You” respectively highlight drums, percussion and distortion that are altogether more atomic in nature.
 
Emphasizing both the popularity and musical latitude of the latter track, “I Don’t Deserve You” featuring vocalist Plumb gets two further reconfigurations. Having already been voted one of the 15 biggest trance songs of the year on Armin van Buuren’s ASOT radio show, “Deserve” gets some house flavor into its system.  Dubbing up the vocal, Gabriel Ben lets the hats hiss, the percs ride and the rhythms flow on his mix. Meanwhile, fellow American producer WAWA rolls in one big piano moment after another, inciting voracious uplift and fanning (R)EVOLUTION’s flames even further.  

“Naturally, the original versions of EVOLUTION’s tracks were my and my co-producers’ visions. To date, the singles have brought some wonderful, creative remixes with them--ones that blew me away when I heard them,” states Paul van Dyk.  “I played the tracks in clubs and on the radio throughout 2012. They were the seeds for this album and now is the right time to push the boundaries of EVOLUTION a bit further.”

Taking things momentarily deeper and more subversively progressive, the Directors Cut mix seizes on “Love Ammunition”’s lyrical metaphor.  Underpinned by a potent groove and sure-shot drop, Michelle Leonard’s vocals scorch the room. The album stays with her tones as Giuseppe Ottaviani takes control of “Lost In Berlin,” building it up into a mainline titan. 

With PvD’s full backing, other remix-revolutionaries are given free reign to take the music where they see fit.  Pedro del Mar & Double V rock up a storm on the Sue McLaren-vocalled/Arty-co-produced “The Sun After The Heartbreak.” Elsewhere, young-blood Uzbek producer Exense masterminds the “Rock This” rebuild. Tactically he whips it into a powder-keg progressive piece, holding back the pitch-bent synths and rousing shout to the break’s final precipice. Elsewhere, audio guerrillas like Niels von Ahorn, Robert Mint, Nick Callaghan & Will Atkinson and others perform coup after coup with eclectic, thrilling reworkings that build into the consummate EVOLUTION revision.
