PVD just on CNN..

I was just flipping channels and out of nowhere, i see PVD in an interview on CNN. He basically talked about his new reflections album, but he also discussed the electronic scene in general, especially in the states. He thought that while electronic music doesn't get much radio play, he thinks that its getting better and that it'll eventually become more mainstream/respected..

Must've been tough for him not being able to say "fuck" over and over again.

I definitely agree with Paul on this point, in that the scene in the U.S. can only continue to grow. I think that is why he did the Central Park outdoor gig this past August. I hope there are moor outdoor mega EDM events in America and especially in NYC. No one can tell me that we can't host a tremendous outdoor dance festival.

i wonder if arturo saw this! lol

Well it cant really be allowed to grow in the US according to this:


The day-long event was organised by local group ROAR (Ravers Organized Against the Rave Act) and the National Dance & Music Rights Alliance and featured performances form DJs such as D:Fuse and Jr. Vasquez, alongside guest speakers.

The highly controversial 'RAVE' (Reducing Americans Vulnerability to Ecstasy) Act was passed through the US political system earlier this year attached to an unrelated child abduction bill, despite the fact that there had been no debate or public hearing in Congress on the subject.

Now, the proposed �Clean-up� Act and �Ecstacy Awareness� Act will threaten the very existence of dance music in the US. If passed, promoters and property owners may be liable for their patrons� drug use, even if they try everything they can to stop it. If found guilty, violators may face up to 20 years in jail or a criminal fine of up to $500,000.

The Drug Policy Alliance, one of many groups opposed to such anti-rave legislation, spoke of how such policies affect every property owner in America, not just dance music promoters: �Because of its broad language, the proposed law could potentially subject people to twenty years in federal prison if guests smoked marijuana at their party or barbecue� a spokesman for DPA said. �The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) actually perceives dance music events as nothing more than the sale, distribution and use of drugs�, they commented.

The �RAVE� Act amends the Crack House Law, which had been used in the past to prosecute promoters based on such evidence as glowsticks, massage oil, and bottled water as proof of drug use.

More worrying however, is the fact that, dance music events, clubs, parties and anything that may potentially attract young people - will struggle to exist in the US if such laws are passed. All DJmag can say is � if the DEA can�t keep drugs out of their high-security prisons, how do they expect to stop young people from experimenting with drugs by stopping them dancing?

could this explain his new reflections album ? I think so !

Paul writes the music he loves, nothing more, nothing less. If it appeals to a larger audience than most trance, so be it.

why does the music he love have to include the same freakin bassline over and over again ! I agree that most artists incorporate sounds from their previous productions, but pvd goes beyond that to the point of no return. This could probably explain why progressive is becomming ever so appealing to my ears.

Can't argue with that, Paul should fool around with his basslines some more. All the same, I still love his music. I phase in and out of prog, usually when I get tired of listening to trance. That's why I enjoy DJ's like J00F and Oaky more and more, they always mix up styles.

Anyways, I wish I could have caught this interview, I would have loved to listen to him speak about Reflections, but I'm sure there are plenty of web/magazine interviews floating around. I wasn't aware Paul swore frequently, it's a bit ironic I think.

Oh i thought it was referring to that FCC ruling about using the F-word. Apparently its ok to use fuck when its not in context with obscene or lewd subjects.

For intstance saying i want to fuck that bitch right now is not acceptable

but saying what a fucking unbelievable song! is ok..

theres still controversy surrounding this right now..but I just thought that thats what he meant..

FCC has no jurisdiction over cable television. CNN could air hardcore porn if they wanted to - they'd just lose all their advertising (which is why none of the major channels ever do).

just goes to show that you learn something new on TA everyday

everyone run its the big bad extasy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hear it rapes your mom and and and and and burns holes in your brain, and kills your dog! and takes you tax returns!!! omg it will bring about armegeddon!! ahhhhhh!!!!!

Go to the DEA website, read extasy's list of harmfull things
it says basically
"Extasy is as dangerous as a hot summer day, if you dont drink enough water you will get dehydrated, like any even where you are sweating alot you could loose electrolites, finally it 'may' cause brain damage although there are no records of this from anyone who has used it in the past 25+ fucking years infact it is probably more likely you will get braindamage from our poor attempts to blame basic human charectoristics on the new recreational drug in the scene which is actually quite safe in comparison with other drugs"

The political attacks on extasy are really just plain shite, watching the news with my airconditioner out is worse for me, better put my house on the section 1 or put msnbc on it.

As for electronic scene in america, dont know whats to come, the wrong types of songs make it big here and the genre has a very poor reputation among quite a few people. Usually people big on mtv dont understand the music in the slightest, and i dont know what could make them understand it. (Well aside from a night of E induced euphoria :P)<-for dea spies

Really sucks that they pin the music to drugs though, not everyone does em, in fact my guess is more rock stars do drugs than electronic producers, at least quantity my guess is they consume way more, our industry has people reaching 40 and above, and they are still here, we dont have coke ODs and Ozzy ozburnes in our genre,
In the same sense, rap every other song is I smoke weed i smoke weed, i smoke weed its all i need, welfare check buy another G the govt pays when i smoke weed. But apparently a song with no lyrics has subliminal extasy buying orders in it, like omg!

Wahey, someone turned it into a drug discussion again.

Damn and I missed it! Oh well...

ummm..didnt know that he says the f word every 2 seconds....
