Paul van Dyk celebrates 1,000 episodes of VONYC Sessions with new music and global tour

Reaching a milestone few artists ever achieve, Paul van Dyk marked the 1,000th episode of VONYC Sessions with a sold-out live celebration in Berlin, reaffirming his enduring impact on global electronic music culture. The landmark event took place on January 24 at Uber Eats Music Hall, drawing fans from across the world to honour a radio show that has become a weekly ritual for millions of listeners.

Since its inception, VONYC Sessions has operated as far more than a radio program. Instead, it evolved into a global meeting point for discovery, connection, and storytelling, bridging classic records with forward-thinking sounds. Hitting 1,000 episodes underscores Paul van Dyk’s long-term commitment to the scene and the shared journey between artist and audience that continues to define the show.

Reflecting on the moment, Paul van Dyk shared:

“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.”

The numbers behind VONYC Sessions highlight its global reach. The show connects with an average of over 32 million listeners on air, surpasses 4 million podcast downloads, and broadcasts across 72 stations worldwide. Consequently, it remains one of the most influential long-running electronic music radio platforms today.

Alongside the milestone, van Dyk released his new single ‘When I Found You’ with Ciaran McAuley, continuing his tradition of emotionally driven, dancefloor-ready productions. Additionally, his Nature One Festival Mix has landed 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 new run of global tour dates for 2026, bringing his immersive performances to audiences across continents. At its core, his work continues to champion the emotional and human essence of electronic music, whether through radio, releases, or live experiences.
