Paul Van Dyk: CORE 360 Open-to-Close

For the first time ever, Paul van Dyk brings his CORE show to New York—a groundbreaking 360-stage experience that reimagines the live electronic setup at 99 Scott.

A pioneering force in electronic dance music, Paul van Dyk has shaped the global trance scene with timeless anthems, visionary performances, and a legacy that continues to inspire generations of artists and fans alike. A GRAMMY-nominated artist and two-time DJ Mag #1 DJ in the world, he has spent over three decades crafting chart-topping releases—from the iconic For An Angel to the anthemic POWER—while redefining the art of live performance. With over two billion streams and a passion for authenticity and evolution, he remains a driving influence in electronic music—past, present, and well into the future.

On November 29th, Gray Area welcomes Paul van Dyk to 99 Scott in Brooklyn for an immersive night built around his CORE concept. From the center of the dancefloor, van Dyk will perform in the round—surrounded by the crowd—for a rare NYC appearance that brings artist and audience into full connection.

He rose to global prominence in the early '90s with his remix of "Love Stimulation" and the landmark track "For an Angel." Since then, his career has spanned decades of headline sets, world tours, and remixes for major artists like Depeche Mode, Justin Timberlake, and Britney Spears. His music has appeared in films, games, and countless dancefloors worldwide.

A steady presence through his long-running VONYC Sessions radio show, van Dyk continues to shape electronic culture while remaining grounded in the community he helped build.

Set on the border of East Williamsburg and Bushwick, 99 Scott is a raw, open-plan industrial space with 20-foot ceilings, exposed architecture, and an adaptable layout designed for immersive events. It’s the perfect canvas for a 360-degree setup—where music, sound, and structure move together.
