‘Let Go’ is the new single from Paul van Dyk’s recent album, ‘In Between’. ‘No.1 on the iTunes Dance album chart..
It was heralded by the dance and mainstream press, and is van Dyk’s fifth artist long-player, and further cemented 2007 as another fantastic year for the Grammy nominee.
In the UK, Paul headlined festivals such as Global Gathering and the Metro Weekender with artists such as Basement Jaxx and Faithless, while playing alongside the likes of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Depeche Mode and Justin Timberlake at US events including Coachella. And in the run-up to the release of ‘Let Go’, Paul has once again sold out his UK shows, including London’s Koko (20th Oct), Digital in Newcastle (2nd Nov) and Warehouse Project in Manchester (3rd Nov)
‘Let Go’ is a classic slab of pure PvD and a favourite from his club sets (the reaction to the live version at SW4 will no doubt stick in the mind for some time). Vocals come from Rea Garvey of German guitar heroes, Reamonn. TRL sensation Shane Drake has been brought on board to direct the video that was shot in downtown Los Angeles. Drake has quickly become Hollywood’s leading music video director for his outstanding work on such videos as Timbaland’s ‘The Way I Are’, Paramore’s ‘Crushcrushcrush’ and Panic! At the Disco’s ‘I Write Sins and Tragedies’ for which he won the 2006 MTV Video Music Award for Best Director.
The musical depth of ‘In Between’ is testament to the strength of van Dyk’s writing and production, moving from dance into rock and classical arrangements with ease. Collaborators on this musical tour-de-force include David Byrne (Talking Heads), Jessica Sutta from Pussycat Dolls (on current single ‘White Lies’), Ashley Tomberlin (Luminary), Alex M.O.R.P.H, Lo Fi Sugar, Rea Garvey (Reamonn), Ryan Merchant and Wayne Jackson.
PvD’s hugely successful recording career matches any of dance music’s biggest stars, enjoying consistent album-sales in numerous territories, while the queues outside any event bearing his name tell their own story.
Paul received Berlin’s Medal of Honor in recognition of his work with Ruckenwind, a partnership scheme with the German Red Cross that helps poor and disadvantaged children in Berlin. He joins a distinguished list of arts and political establishment figures with this honour.
The mix package for ‘Let Go’ includes a Vandit Club Mix, PvD Club Mix, plus remixes from Alex Kunnari, TV Rock, and Martin Roth.
