Paul van Dyk is marking the 30th anniversary of his iconic track For An Angel with the release of a double-vinyl pack featuring both the original and a host of remixes.
The release features van Dyk’s original E-Werk Club Mix, new remixes from remixes from Öwnboss, Julian Jeweil, LOUT, and KOLONIE as well as re-edits from Filo And Peri, Activa and Miika Kuisma. It’s set to be released on van Dyk’s own VANDIT Records on 25 October.
“For An Angel is so special to me because it represents an incredible time for dance music and wonderful personal memories,” van Dyk says of the track.
“There was this fresh enthusiasm for dance music as it spread worldwide and paved the way for where it is today. The song is as important to me now as it was when I first made it, and it’s a staple in all my sets. The reaction from the fans when the song starts playing brings me so much joy. It’s fun to listen to these excellent remixes and realize how much the song influenced today’s talents.”
According to the German producer, the iconic trance track still has the power to “touch so many hearts” even after three decades.
“Across generations, young and old, all around the world. Whether it was in 1999 in front of 1.5 million dancing people at the Love Parade or last week in the Berlin Cathedral as an ambient arrangement, the magic of the track seems to grow even more intense over time. People tell me about memories they associate with For An Angel. Different stories and emotions—ranging from wild, unforgettable nights in Ibiza that people fondly remember to wedding dance songs, and even as a tribute to the beloved. It’s one track with a million stories.”
van Dyk is in the middle of a tour of Europe and the US, details of which are available here.
