“VENTURE X” sees van Dyk team up with some of his favorite producers at the moment, Beatport Progressive House chart-topping Weekend Heroes and singer/songwriter Christian Schottstaedt.
As the frontman for the band Forced to Mode (a band discovered by van Dyk on YouTube), Schottstaedt provides the brooding tech house track with a clear, distinctive voice. Lyrics such as ‘Come with me to where we’ve never been before’ plays into the new horizons van Dyk is reaching with his sound but is also a hint at what’s to come from the VENTURE X live experience.
VENTURE X is an exciting new concept where the master DJ and curator sources from the finest trance, progressive house, and techno music and brings it all together during one incredible evening. van Dyk famously feeds off his fans, focusing on the improvisational art of the craft and editing tunes on the fly. Familiar sounds are presented in an entirely new context, with a focus on embracing the unexpected. It’s that moment when you hear a snippet of a song you love but find your jaw dropping in awe over the direction and journey van Dyk is taking you on. It’s unpredictable…it’s unmissable…it’s VENTURE X defined by Paul van Dyk.
Paul explains: “VENTURE X allows me to explore the width of what electronic music means to me, not just what people expect me to play. It allows me the space to play what I think people should really know, feel, and be exposed to. People know me for trance but there is so much more. VENTURE X allows me to do this as a musical concept because I won’t play 130 BPM straight through but rather a wider musical experience. With most DJ sets I find you either have techno but missing the progressive sequence that takes you on a journey or you have a progressive sound that’s missing the punch. For me, that’s what it’s about, the drive, the push, the pull, and the memories that you create.”
