Time appears to stop as the bass drops. Thirty years of electronic music history come together in one throbbing moment in the darkness before dawn at a former missile site in Kastellaun, Germany. “Power” by Paul van Dyk, the official song for Nature One 2025, was released, commemorating both a significant anniversary and a significant musical statement.
This isn’t your typical festival song. In 2025, Nature One will commemorate its 30th anniversary. The festival bears the burden of three decades that turned electronic music from a subversive movement to a worldwide sensation. Nearly every beat of the event’s “three decades of electrifying nights, legendary sets, and unforgettable festival moments” has been accompanied by van Dyk.
Paul van Dyk has had a close relationship with Nature One since his early days at the Pydna missile base in Kastellaun. He was there from the beginning as a pioneer, the main act, and a popular favorite.
