Electronic music pioneer Paul van Dyk is stepping away from the mainstage energy to introduce a brand-new project: Aurien. Known globally for driving Trance classics like "For An Angel," the Berlin legend is opening a different door with this alias, focusing entirely on atmospheric, lounge, and cinematic ambient sounds instead of peak-time festival drops.
The project officially launches with the debut single "Empatia" a stunning collaboration with Jab Vix. Built on warm electronic textures and fluid rhythms, the track captures the serene magic of a sunset rather than a crowded dancefloor.
"Empatia" also serves as the inaugural release on Château Bonheur Musique, Paul van Dyk’s newly founded imprint. Designed as a musical sanctuary between daylight and darkness, the label offers a dedicated platform for emotional, down-tempos sounds without the constraints of traditional club music. Alongside the original version, listeners can explore a Radio Mix and the atmospheric Elegant Mix.
For the global #TranceFamily, Aurien offers a captivating look into Paul van Dyk's deep love for pure melody and emotional space - completely free from the pressure of the dancefloor.
