Joining the collaboration, Paul Thomas, a world-renowned DJ, producer, and longtime friend of Paul van Dyk, has become universally celebrated for his deep and emotive sets at events like SHINE Ibiza, SHINE at Tomorrowland and FSOE shows. With releases on his very own label, UV, his progressive sound perfectly complements the production on “Shed Your Light.” With releases on esteemed labels that include Toolroom and Defected, his deep, progressive sound perfectly complements the production on “Shed Your Light.”

Industry figureheads have earmarked “Shed Your Light” as a melodic masterpiece ahead of its official release, showcasing crisp, signature beats and captivating melodies from this powerhouse collaboration.
