Alex M.O.R.P.H. & Paul van Dyk - We Are

We are not lost. We are not afraid. We are not filled with hate. We are the most technologically advanced civilization in human history and we will not be cowed by ignorance nor fear-mongering. We are loving. We are strong. We are one.

The time is right to join together in peace and humanity. “We Are” (VANDIT) is the new collaboration from trance kingpins, Alex M.O.R.P.H. & Paul van Dyk. “We Are” is out now.

The Original Mix of “We Are” kicks-off with a hard-hitting 4/4 beat and booming, low-end bass that makes bodies move. The energy and excitement of the track gradually build in layers as synthesizers stealthily enter with their minor-chord commotion until….bang! Melodic progressions of sunshine-filled synths arrive while distorted stabs add accent and the energy builds. By the time the bassline fully appears, listeners know they’re in for something exceptional. It’s a testament to Alex M.O.R.P.H. and Paul van Dyk and their innate skill at reading a crowd that the first big chord change utterly grabs one’s attention. Here is a track to remind today’s EDM-saddled youth what quality electronic dance music really is and why so many people fell in love with this sound in the first place. “We Are” is electronic dance music as it should be, at its purest and best. “We Are” unlocks something within the listener’s brain and commands the body to react in a reliably ecstatic way. The Radio Edit of “We Are” takes the essential elements of the original and boils them down into a tight package suited for radio.
