You don’t often get to celebrate 30 years of a festival that shaped the sound of a generation.
But in 2025, NATURE ONE hits that massive milestone, and it just makes sense that Paul van Dyk is behind the anthem marking the moment.
For anyone who’s ever danced through the night at that old missile base in Pydna, you know the energy. You know the sunrise moments. And chances are, Paul van Dyk’s music was the pulse behind it all. Now, he’s come full circle with a track that somehow feels brand new and totally nostalgic at the same time.
That track? “Power.” And yeah, it hits hard.
From the first beat, it’s got that familiar van Dyk intensity, driving, melodic, emotional, but there’s something deeper here. The build is dramatic, the synths have weight, and it doesn’t waste a single second trying to be trendy. It’s made for the real moments: 3AM crowds, dusty dancefloors, and that feeling of being exactly where you’re supposed to be.
Even better? “Power” isn’t just a one-off. It’s also the first release on VANTEC, Paul’s new label. That’s big. He’s not just dropping tracks, he’s building a space for music that still stands for something: energy, honesty, and roots.
When I spoke to Paul about it, you could tell this meant a lot. “NATURE ONE is home,” he told me. He talked about the friendships, the crowds, the years of returning to the same place and feeling the same rush. “This track is a thank you. To the festival, to the people, to those moments we all shared.”
And honestly, you feel that in the music.
“Power” isn’t trying to be subtle. It’s full-throttle, start-to-finish, just how it should be for a festival like this. There’s a confidence in it, like van Dyk knows exactly what we came for. And he delivers.
In a time where electronic music often gets boxed in, recycled drops, throwaway remixes, empty hype, this track actually stands for something. It feels lived-in. It feels earned.
If you’re lucky enough to be at NATURE ONE 2025, this will be the moment you remember. And if you’re not? Blast “Power” wherever you are and close your eyes. You’ll get it.
Because this isn’t just an anthem. It’s a reminder of why we came to this music in the first place.
