Paul Van Dyk latest news: new album - Music Rescues Me and Ldn Launch show @ The Printworks
- ‘Music Rescues Me’ - The Album - forthcoming October 2018
- Pre-registration for 12/10/18 launch show at London’s The Printworks now open @ paulvandyk.london
In behind-the-scenes production for the greater part of a year, Paul van Dyk surprise-revealed this week that a new artist album – his ninth - is inbound this autumn. Signalling a newly galvanized creative stream from the electronic music legend, it will hit October 2018 - just 12 months after his wildly successful, critically embraced comeback LP, ‘From Then On’.
Arriving under the appellation ‘Music Rescues Me’, it will develop and expand on the theme first set by the album’s vanguard (and namesake) single. Part tribute to/part personal mediation on music’s seemingly limitless capacity to heal, restore and lift, it’s a subject that has rapt Paul to the greatest of degrees.
Additional to the announcement of the album, PvD also gave a first tranche of details regarding artists co-writing on ‘Music Rescues Me’. Further to Plumb’s turn on its eponymous first single, other collaborative returnees mentioned included ‘From Then On’ contributors Jordan Suckley, Giuseppe Ottaviani and James Cottle. Debut pairings were also among the names released, with London’s Delta One, Saad Ajub (of ‘Crazy Whisper’ fame) and young Colombian talent Steve Dekay confirmed by Paul to have shared studio time on ‘Music Rescues Me’.
Allowing fans the clearest possible idea of ‘Music Rescues Me’ landing date, the other major newsbreak today is that pre-registration has commenced for the album’s October launch show. It’s an extra special, first-of-its-kind deal too, with new London club titan The Printworks playing host to its début performance. Having already housed some of the biggest names in electronic music, on October 12 van Dyk will become the first artist to deliver trance to the history-steeped surrounds of the former newspaper printing plant.

Trance master Paul Van Dyk breaks news on Symbols - new album and launch show
UPDATE: Album's name has changed to Music Rescues Me. More details here.
- ‘Symbols’ forthcoming October 2018.
- Pre-registration for 12/10/18 launch show at London’s The Printworks now open via paulvandyk.london
Hell yes! When Paul Van Dyk announces a new album and a new launch show, you know you have to grab your copy and be present! It's been a year since the last one, From Then On and each album gets better and better! I wouldn't expect anything else from the trance master of all times. In production under-the-radar for nine months, it is (according to the empirical source) “in the final stages of recording” and - signalling a newly won creative flow.
The album will come under the title ‘Symbols’, with its concept originating from PvD’s interest in “historic mysteries, clandestine societies and their respective codes & cyphered meanings”. Hands up who saw this one coming!
In a move as welcome as it is unforeseen, Paul van Dyk surprise announced today news that a new album’s inbound. In production under-the-radar for nine months, it is (according to the empirical source) “in the final stages of recording” and - signalling a newly won creative flow - will release just a year after ‘From Then On’.
The album will come under the title ‘Symbols’, with its concept originating from PvD’s interest in “historic mysteries, clandestine societies and their respective codes & cyphered meanings”.
The other major takeaway today (and giving audiences the clearest possible idea as to when ‘Symbols’ will materialise) is that pre-registration has unlocked for the album’s October launch show. It’s an extra special, first-of-its-kind deal too, with new London club landmark The Printworks housing the début performance. At once industrially atmospheric and ethereally gothic, PvD saw the former newspaper printing plant as the perfect backdrop to frame ‘Symbols’. Having already played host to some of the biggest names in electronic music, on October 12 van Dyk will become the first artist to send trance around its history-infused walls.
If you want to guarantee yourself one of the limited day-one places available to experience ‘Symbols’ music, now is the time to act. You can pre-register for tickets via paulvandyk.london here.
With the greater part of three months to go until release, further info on the album’s exact nature - collaborations most notably - remains scarce. As recently as his Tomorrowland set however, track Easter Eggs were rumoured to have appeared. With a trail leading through Mysteryland, Creamfields and his SHINE Ibiza sets, more - its hinted - will be there for the keener eyed & eared.
When commenting on the announcement, cryptically, PvD did let a few potential bigger-picture insights slip. Mentioning that the album’s concept would “place historic mysteries in a modern context”, he said ‘Symbols’ would be “a reflection of the more indistinct nature of today’s world. The ‘story behind the story’, the power behind the power, etc has always has always fascinated me - this album’s going to hold a mirror up to that”.
We’re guessing he doesn’t mean your average reflective kind. A puzzle wrapped in an encryption, sealed in a labyrinth, can only remain a puzzle wrapped in an encryption, sealed in a labyrinth for so long.
What (and who) lies behind ‘Symbols’, time alone will tell. But tell it will.
