2014 marked the year Paul van Dyk returned to the singles realm with three fiercely infectious pieces of electronic music in “Come With Me (We Are One),” a collaboration with Ummet Ozcan, “Only In A Dream” with Jessus and Adham Ashraf and “Guardian” with Aly & Fila.
Over late December/early January 2015, the original mix of “Guardian” roared across floors, claiming the #2 spot on Beatport’s trance chart in the process. Now the track has been remixed for Guardian (The Remixes), a four-track EP that will be made available on February 10 on Ultra Music.
“Guardian” brings together van Dyk, Aly & Fila, three producers long celebrated for wowing the clubbing lands with their height-of-the-night productions. For the remix EP, the trio’s mixes drop some expectation-subverting versions into the equation. Unexpected, different, surprising even, their more recumbent tones, dovetailed to Sue McLaren’s sweetly sung vocals and bittersweet lyrics, combine to take music lovers to places they may never wish to return from.
Along with the release of the Guardian (The Remixes), Paul will return to the U.S. for a short support tour. Stops planned for February include Seattle, San Antonio, Dallas, New York, San Diego and Los Angeles. Paul will also return to Miami to appear at Ultra Music Festival in March.
