The man, the myth, the legend, Paul van Dyk returns with a new single, “VOYAGER” featuring Alex M.O.R.P.H. from his forthcoming studio album, Music Rescues Me.
“VOYAGER” is the second release from Paul van Dyk’s highly anticipated ninth studio album. Van Dyk and M.O.R.P.H. take you on a melodic voyage with this one, initially revving you up with a racing bassline until the 2:20 mark, where a peaceful lull takes over. The heavenly audile break fades into the darkness and the track picks back up, continuing dreamers along their soul searching journey to transcendence. The saying goes, “trance is for the dreamers,” and “VOYAGER” is the epitome of that expression.

Paul van Dyk released statements regarding the direction of his album and the meaning behind the name:
“Though it might have been its seed, this new album is not about music bringing one person back from the brink. Its theme reaches beyond that. This is about music’s ability to open us up, to stimulate mental imagery, to unlock or bring back memories. 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, to me, goes beyond the mere ‘inspirational’. This is something else. That music can ‘unlock’ us, allow us to access emotions and places our mind might not otherwise go to is nothing less than extraordinary. It’s both force and a gift. I feel that’s a big part of what keeps it so magical for me – indeed for all of us. So this album is a celebration of this most mysterious, impalpable and wonderful aspects of music’s nature”.
“The ‘Me’ refers to ‘you, me, us – everyone’. ‘Rescue’ means less ‘save’, but more ‘liberate’ or ‘free’. 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. That’s the point at which I’ll consider it a success”.
The legendary producer is currently in the midst of a ten city North American tour, including a headlining performance at Insomniac’s Dreamstate SoCal in San Bernardino. The tour ultimately concludes on the day of the album release, December 7 at Avant Gardner in New York. To experience Music Rescues Me live, check out the full tour dates below.
