Reaching a milestone few artists in electronic music history ever touch, Paul van Dyk celebrated the 1,000th episode of VONYC Sessions with a sold-out live event in Berlin, reinforcing his enduring influence on the global dance music community. The landmark celebration took place on January 24 at Uber Eats Music Hall, welcoming fans from around the world to honor a radio show that has become a weekly ritual for millions of listeners.
Since its inception, VONYC Sessions has functioned as far more than a traditional radio program. Over the years, it has evolved into a global meeting point for discovery, connection, and storytelling—bridging timeless classics with forward-thinking sounds. Reaching 1,000 episodes highlights van Dyk’s rare longevity and dedication to the culture, as well as the shared journey between artist and audience that continues to define the show’s identity.
“VONYC Sessions has always been more than a radio show. For 1,000 episodes, it’s been a weekly meeting point for people who live and breathe electronic music. This milestone belongs to everyone who’s been listening, discovering, and feeling the music with me,” van Dyk shared, capturing the community-driven spirit behind the achievement.
The numbers behind VONYC Sessions underline its global reach and relevance. The show connects with an average of more than 32 million listeners on air, has surpassed 4 million podcast downloads, and is broadcast across 72 stations worldwide. These figures place it among the most influential and longest-running electronic music radio platforms still operating today.
Marking the milestone, van Dyk also unveiled his new single When I Found You, created alongside Ciaran McAuley, continuing his tradition of emotionally charged, dancefloor-ready productions. In parallel, his Nature One Festival Mix arrived on Apple Music, capturing the scale and intensity of one of Europe’s most iconic festivals through a carefully curated sonic journey.
Looking ahead, Paul van Dyk has announced a fresh run of global tour dates for 2026, bringing his immersive live performances to audiences across continents. Whether through radio, new releases, or the energy of the dancefloor, his work continues to champion the emotional and human core of electronic music—an ethos that has carried VONYC Sessions to 1,000 episodes and counting.
