Out now on Superstition Records: Video credits: 3D animation by Gaël Corboz Edited by Till Kaak One of the best-loved Ibiza anthems and club cuts of all time Café Del Mar gets brand new remixes from the original trance master Paul Van Dyk. In terms of cultural and emotional impact in dance music, it’s hard to find a record that comes close. Café Del Mar has come to represent the most euphoric and hedonistic pleasures of dancefloors - in Ibiza and all around the world - and has been remixed by some of the biggest names in the industry. One name that’s been strangely absent though is that of Paul Van Dyk: a trance icon and a seemingly perfect fit for remixing a record of this stature. Paul Schmitz-Moormann (aka Kid Paul) and Paul van Dyk were close DJ buddies in the early Berlin Techno scene, and played around a hundred DJ gigs together, all around Germany and Europe, before they moved on in different directions.
