Paul Van Dyk
Okay well I have noticed that most people refer to Paul Van Dyk as a god. I guess this is relative to each person I mean he was here, Miami FL, last week, since Twilo closed down and while his mixing was on target his programming left me with something to be desired. He really didn't feel the crowd out too well. I mean the crowds are diffrent everywhere you go. What people are used to, (ie. what they like), here is probably completely diffrent from other places he might spin. I mean I may have my taste in music but im no idiot. I realize PVD is a pioneer and is at the forefront of his profession for a reason. I am an open minded individual and I am pretty easy to please. But Paul Van Dyk was anyhting but a god on that night. Towards the end of his set, which pretty much went nowhere, he started playing old tunes like "Des Mitchell - Welcome to the Dance" & "Tiesto pres. Allure - We Ran at Dawn" and to make it all worse in the last half hour he started spining some house tunes. As if he were intentionally trying to slow down the pace of the night. Anybody who has been around the music that long should be able to tell what a crowd wants and I think it was pretty clear that the packed crowd wanted him to pick it up a bit. Anyhow I had a good time (I always do) so I am not saying he was horrible or anyhting but definetly not GODLIKE, this, of course, is just my point of view anyone else there that night might have had a much diffrent view, like I said, it's all relative.

. By the way, some people at space that were there that night for PVD said that his set wasnt all that great. Every Dj has thier bad dayz, some have thier good. I think that sort of explains it all, I do see where your coming from trancecollector.
