Paul Van Dyk ..... ?

I just came back from ibiza , it was a great trip ...
had a very good time .

i went to cream's 10th anniversary party at amnesia , where tiesto , nu-nrg live and pvd were all playing .

Tiesto was surprisingly very good , track selection was nice , mixing was good , i expected a bad set , but he was very good

Nu-nrg live were very cool , to see them play live was an experience .

But Pvd , here is the shock , he was awful !!! from the beginning , until the last track . track selection was poor , very monotonous and repetitive , the re-works he played made the set boring , i dont know , i was a very big pvd fan , but now ,,,, not sure !

i hope this is not how all his sets are those days

did he drop for an angel?

I was at the same event and thought Paul Van Dyk was the only good thing about the night to be honest.

I thought Tiesto was pretty poor and played dull, uninspiring tunes and generally didn't look interested but maybe thats because I've went right off Tiesto in the past year.

PVD I thought was great, played a good selection of new and classic tracks, generally looked like he was loving it and played on till 8.15 or 8.30am rather than the 7am Finish. I dunno if he had a bit 2 much to drink or that by the way he was acting but for me he played a great set and his mixing was seemless.

I have to admit I was more of a teisto fan unil i witnessed pvd a couple of months back in Seoul Korea, totally rock the fucking joint. For almost 4 hours he played and played a truely magical set and had the croud eating out of his hand from start to finish. He was booked for 3 hours, but kept on playing cause everyone was locked into the music. click below to see what I mean. Crasy night!

Click here to see pvd hasn't lost it

oh my god that set looked savage. anyone know the id of the last track he played on that clip???

i'm afraid i'm firmly in the pvd camp. i think he does sets like no other in the trance scene, playing tracks with lots of variation and drive. he's loved world over for a reason and i think he should get the vote of no 1 dj in the world this year cause its been a long time coming. he has my vote anyway.

guys .. any idea what the second track was ????

while the transition of santiago nino - believe (max graham mix) part, some korean dude climb the booth

fan.- "i love you paul...i'm your whore"
staff.- "hey dude you can't touch the god"
pvd.- "wtf "

PVD did enuf for me simpyl playing Arrola - Dreaming (Percussion Mix) that made my holiday. The build up just made me shiver all over


Posted by qussay on Aug-28-2005 06:47:

ok , maybe i should re-evaluate that night , since i am the only one who thought he wasnt very good . Pvd's mixing is spot on , i would never go there ... but i dont know , i think for me , keeping the same beat and bass for 30 minutes straight ( pvd re-works or re-edits ) is not my idea of a good set .

and that specific set , didnt have enough vocals in it , again this is a matter of personal taste .

i guess i will have to see him again soon , to decide for myself .

but that night , tiesto's set was great , imo ofcourse

i'll think you find he does mate.

I was standing with him backstage at the love from above while he slammed down 2 shots of tequilla and took another 2 with him.

His behavior @ Mayday 2001 suggests otherwise.

He was utterly wasted and his performance reflected it accordingly (i.e. scratching about on 10 in 01). Some say he got his drink spiked, while others say he just got pished beyond belief.

probably done a few of berlins finest also
