This coming July 6th, on his home turf of Berlin, and in the goliath Renaissance confines of the Zitadelle Spandau, Paul van Dyk will helm the second colossal We Are One event. After its original 2010 arena-busting incarnation (in the German capital's O2 to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall), this year the action moves outdoors. As We Are One assumes festival status, PvD has gone studio-side with Canadian tech-house/trance rebel Arnej to crown the night with an audio Anthem of fittingly large proportions!
From its beatific pianoforte overture, coupled with a calling Eastern tinged vocal-harmonic, 'We Are One 2013' makes its intentions clear. Arnej drops the track down into one of his hard-rocking, electro/tech grooves, propelling the build with a substantial dose of dark, distorted sonic matter.
At the end of the break, the track intensely pitch-bends its way to the top of the drop, where PvD unchains the synths to strike, creating a huge updraft of floor energy.
Encapsulating all the anticipatory thrills, all the synth-&-drum drama and an all the laser-lit spectacle of what promises to be one helluva a night in Berlin, 'We Are One' the anthem is here.
Go forth DJ. Do damage!

Dimitri Kechagias review: The EDM pioneer and legend dj/producer/radio host/label owner Paul van Dyk returns after his crictically aclaimed album Evolution with his magnificent collaboration with Arnej for the official anthem of the "We Are One 2013" festival that is the most anticipated Dance Festival that takes place in Berlin. The package includes the Extended mix, Intro mix and Tougher remix. We are One 2013 in its extended mix is a mega huge club burner that combines in the most explosive way all the elements that will make the crowd go wild and get out of their heads completely and utterly. Tough rocking beats, heavy punchy basslines and most importantly a high class synthy melody to give you continuous shivers from head to toe. The intro mix is the perfect dj tool to use as intro in your mainstage festival performances and energise your crowd from the very first second. The Tougher remix has already the support of Armin van Buuren in his globally known ASOT radio show and is of course as the name suggests the version that the majority of trance jocks will choose to play cause its absolutely maddening. Excellent crafted composition that pushes the adrenaline to the highest levels. Wonderful breakdown with cinematic atmosphere and huge synthy stabs to rock the stadium size crowds and offer them the most unforgettable euphoric moment of their lives. We Are One 2013 will become easily the EDM anthem of the summer of 2013 and can be easily adopted by trance and epic/big room house jocks as well. Good luck to We Are One festival, I wish to be able to be there and dance from the very first dj set to the last. Love IT!
