Legendary electronic music producer Paul van Dyk has teamed up again with rising Progressive House duo FUENKA for their latest single, "Seven Seas." Set for release February 28, 2025 on VANDIT Records, the track marks their second collaboration following "Artefact," which will be featured on the deluxe edition of van Dyk's forthcoming album, "This World Is Ours."
Blending elements of Progressive House and Techno, "Seven Seas" is a cinematic and emotive production that reflects both artists' distinctive musical styles. The track’s haunting melody takes listeners on a sonic voyage, mirroring the vast and unpredictable nature of the ocean. Seamlessly transitioning between powerful crescendos and tranquil interludes, the composition evokes an immersive experience enriched with subtle seagull calls and sweeping soundscapes.
The " Seven Seas/The Poem " mix explores artificial intelligence in art, delving deeper into the theme of the upcoming album. In this version, an AI-generated poem—created from just a few inspirational cues provided by van Dyk—narrates the experience. The result is an eerie yet thought-provoking display of AI’s evolving role in creative expression.
“Working with FUENKA on ‘Seven Seas’ has been an inspiring process. We aimed to create something that captured the power and beauty of nature, and the ocean felt like the perfect metaphor for this journey. The track balances intensity with moments of stillness, capturing the mystery and emotion of the sea.” Paul van Dyk shares, as he reflects on the collaboration.
"Seven Seas" is the first of a series of releases leading up to This World Is Ours, which is scheduled to drop on April 11, 2025. The album promises a compelling narrative exploring the intersection of humanity and nature while setting the stage for a Grammy-nominated artist's active year of music and touring.
Upon release, "Seven Seas" will be streamed on all major platforms, offering fans a glimpse into Paul van Dyk’s evolving soundscape as he continues to push the boundaries of electronic music.
