Dreamstate Records once again captures the essence of euphoric trance with its 2025 official festival anthem — “Is This Only A Dream” — a monumental collaboration between two legends of the scene: Paul van Dyk and Aly & Fila. This release not only celebrates the spirit of Dreamstate but also marks a historic first, as both acts will perform back-to-back for the very first time at Dreamstate SoCal on November 21, 2025.
From the very first beat, “Is This Only A Dream” unfolds with pulsating energy and uncompromising drive. A haunting female vocal asks the titular question — “Is this only a dream?” — echoing through a vast sonic landscape of rolling basslines, hypnotic synth layers, and soaring melodies that build to a breathtaking crescendo. The production is pure mainstage firepower: emotional, atmospheric, and designed for that exact moment when the dance floor feels like it’s floating between reality and fantasy.
For Paul van Dyk, a true architect of trance with an unparalleled legacy spanning over three decades, this anthem reinforces his ability to merge technical precision with heartfelt emotion. His influence continues to shape the sound of trance — from classics like “For An Angel” to more recent collaborations that blur the lines between underground and uplifting.
Meanwhile, Aly & Fila, the Egyptian duo behind the globally acclaimed Future Sound of Egypt imprint, are known for their soaring, melodic, and spiritually charged sound. Their involvement injects that unmistakable uplifting euphoria and emotional resonance that have made them beloved across continents.
Together, they create a synergy that feels inevitable yet utterly timeless — a soundscape that embodies Dreamstate’s core message: Trance is alive, and it’s more powerful than ever.
