“Alan Wyse, Steve Deekay, Saad Ayub, Rafael Osmo, Project 8, Lostly, Chris Bekker – these are musicians from around the world who, week-in, week-out, we see lighting up the VONYC forums. In addition to his frequent collaborators, van Dyk has also included features from artists that he’s worked with for the first time, on this new album: With even deeper roots in the PvD universe, there are also vocal contributions from Sue McLaren ( ‘Lights’/’We Come Together’) and Plumb ( ‘I Don’t Deserve You’). Alex M.O.R.P.H., James Cottle, Jordan Suckley and Tristan D (under his new Delta One guise) are some of those who’ve returned to Berlin to write follow-up tracks for Music Rescues Me. That’s the point at which I’ll consider it a success”.įor the new LP, a number of From Then On’s co-producers have been invited back to the studio with Paul. My greatest aspiration for this release is that people – either now, or in years to come – listening to ‘ Music Rescues Me’ will find that one of its tracks elevates, alleviates, opens them up, or takes them out of themselves. ‘Rescue’ means less ‘save’, but more ‘liberate’ or ‘free’. “The ‘Me’ refers to ‘you, me, us – everyone’. So this album is a celebration of this most mysterious, impalpable and wonderful aspects of music’s nature”.Īlluding to the album’s title, van Dyk clarified: I feel that’s a big part of what keeps it so magical for me – indeed for all of us. That music can ‘unlock’ us, allow us to access emotions and places our mind might not otherwise go to is nothing less than extraordinary. This, to me, goes beyond the mere ‘inspirational’. It’s about its often hard-to-fathom capacity to support us, to get us through our tougher or more challenging times, as well as soundtracking the good ones, and making them even better. This is about music’s ability to open us up, to stimulate mental imagery, to unlock or bring back memories. “Though it might have been its seed, this new album is not about music bringing one person back from the brink. Paul shared some words about the direction of Music Rescues Me: Telegraphing Paul’s developmental, progressing and to-the-future outlook, it’s one that’s echoed by the vibrant state of the music scene in which he operates.

That has been expressed most clearly through his professional work, taking the form of a tap-wide-open creative stream. Stimulus driven by his recuperation from the now-well-documented events of spring 2016 has had the profoundest of effects on van Dyk’s life-view. The release of Music Rescues Me comes just 14 months after van Dyk’s previous album From Then On (released in October 2017). Today, he’s unveiled the 14-track masterpiece in full.
