Electronic music icon Paul van Dyk has announced a groundbreaking new live show concept titled CORE360, designed to bring fans closer than ever to the heart of his creative process.
CORE360 will debut at 99 Scott in New York City on 29th November, where van Dyk will perform a six-hour open-to-close set surrounded entirely by his audience. The DJ and producer will take center stage—literally—performing from a circular platform in the middle of the venue, allowing fans to experience the music from every angle.
The show promises a fully immersive 360° performance, featuring a blend of instruments and controllers that van Dyk will use to perform and improvise in real time. Rather than a typical DJ set, CORE360 aims to blur the lines between performer and listener, emphasizing connection and spontaneity.
“CORE360 is about breaking down barriers,” van Dyk explained. “It’s about bringing the audience closer to the creative process, surrounding them with sound and emotion. It’s a shared experience; we’re all in the middle of the music together.”
With this concept, van Dyk continues to evolve his legacy as one of trance music’s most forward-thinking artists. Known for his meticulous live setups and passion for innovation, CORE360 marks another step in his ongoing mission to redefine what a live electronic performance can be.
The debut event will run from 10 PM to 4 AM, promising an unforgettable night of connection and creativity. Tickets are now available, and additional tour dates for the CORE360 experience will be announced soon.
Meanwhile, fans can get a glimpse of van Dyk’s history and craftsmanship at the Synthesizer Museum Berlin, where his legendary Roland TR-808, used on tracks such as the iconic “For An Angel,” is currently on display until next year.
To celebrate his legacy, fans can also relive his recent set at AirBeat One Festival and watch an in-depth interview about the making of “For An Angel”—a timeless anthem that continues to inspire generations of electronic music lovers
