A Dance Legend Lands on PulseMix — 6PM. Don’t Miss It.
PulseMix is about to deliver an absolutely HUGE Friday night — because tonight, we welcome one of the most iconic names in vocal trance and Eurodance history: Ian Van Dahl.
From global chart domination to era‑defining anthems, Ian Van Dahl’s music shaped dancefloors across Europe, Ibiza, and beyond. And tonight, he’s stepping behind the decks for an exclusive guest mix on Decades on Donk with DJ Ham, kicking off at 6pm.
This is not just a guest mix — it’s a full‑blown nostalgia‑charged, hands‑in‑the‑air, club‑anthem celebration.
🌍 A GLOBAL DANCE PHENOMENON
Ian Van Dahl burst onto the scene with “Castles in the Sky”, written and originally performed by Martine Theeuwen (aka Marsha) — a track that didn’t just make waves… it caused a tsunami.
📈 Chart Success That Defined a Generation
- “Castles in the Sky” became a worldwide smash, licensed in over 65 countries .
- Massive DJ support from Tiësto and Armin van Buuren helped it explode across Ibiza and Europe’s club scene .

- It crossed over to the US, reaching No.91 on the Billboard Hot 100 .
