Winter Vandit Night

This December, Berlin’s Kulturbrauerei will once again become the epicenter of the electronic music scene as Paul van Dyk presents his legendary Winter VANDIT Night. On Saturday, December 21, 2024, the world-renowned DJ and producer will host not only his annual fan-favorite event but also a special celebration: the 30th anniversary of his iconic track “For An Angel”.

Originally released in 1994 on Paul van Dyk’s debut album 45 RPM, the track became a dance music classic with the 1998 E-Werk Remix. For An Angel was one of the first electronic instrumental songs to cross from the club scene into mainstream radio, dominating the charts and leaving a lasting imprint on a global youth movement.

“It’s fascinating how For An Angel still touches so many hearts after all these years—across generations, old and young, all around the world,” says Paul van Dyk. “Whether it was in 1999 in front of 1.5 million people dancing at the Love Parade or just last week in the Berlin Cathedral as an ambient arrangement, the magic of the track seems to grow even stronger with time.

People tell me about the memories they associate with For An Angel. From wild, unforgettable nights on Ibiza to wedding dance songs to honoring a beloved soul—there are so many different stories and emotions tied to it.”

“The anniversary edition is a tribute to my fans and loyal companions who made the song what it is today. With the new remixes, we’re showcasing the many different facets the track holds. Julian Jeweil delivers a driving techno production, Öwnboss enchants with mainstage magic, Kolonie offers top-tier progressive house, and LOUT sets new standards in trance.”

To mark this special occasion, Paul van Dyk, a pioneer in the global electronic music scene, is inviting two incredible guest DJs: Ciaran McAuley and Chris Bekker, who will join him in creating an unforgettable night of music.
