About The Track
Paul van Dyk’s Herbst in Berlin remix of Amen UK’s Passion is a standout example of his early remix work, marked by melodic restraint and atmospheric depth. Released in the mid-1990s and featured on his seminal remix compilations, this version clocks in at just over five minutes and offers a compact yet emotionally rich trance experience.
The track opens with a steady pulse anchored by a warm, rounded kick and smooth bassline. Layered with airy pads and subtle arpeggiated elements, it builds a meditative energy that never feels rushed. The vocal samples are minimal and haunting—fragmented phrases that drift through the mix without dominating it, adding a sense of distance and introspection.
Midway through, a serene breakdown introduces filtered melodies and a reflective tone before the beat returns with understated power. There’s no dramatic drop—just a smooth continuation that reinforces the track’s emotive control. The remix flows with purpose and restraint, highlighting van Dyk’s talent for crafting trance that’s both danceable and deeply expressive.
This mix continues to resonate with fans who appreciate the more introspective side of ‘90s progressive trance. It’s a quiet classic—less about peak-time theatrics and more about sonic storytelling that holds up decades later.
