The state of trance w/ PVD

"Trance had become a dirty word. Thanks to Ian Van Dahl, Lasgo, Flip 'N' Fill and DJ Sammy, a generation of kids has grown up thinking trance is the shittiest music since country and western.

Along with Armin Van Buurren, Tiesto, and Ferry Corsten, Paul Van Dyk and tracks like 'Connected' have saved trance, steering it away from the bird-sings-over-80s-remake formula that was making trance a laughing stock, bringing it back to what it was always meant to be - fucking good dancefloor music that messes with your head.

He doesn't want to piss anyone off, so he doesn't like to talk about other DJs. With one exception: Ian Van Dahl gets a kicking for being completely 'cheesy'.

Cheesy records make proper trance look bad. Of course there are people who buy DJ Sammy records. They're not the same people that buy mine."

- Paul Van Dyk

thanks Groundhog Boy

LMFAO!




that is all.

Heh..Pretty well said tbh.

2-3 years ago i would have agreed, now i'd say he should first start to play good music himself again and THEN say something like that.


this quote is rather old nevertheless

he should include his name in the list, and armin/ferry/tiest0r/etc's names too

Oh, how times change.

What is the difference between pvd and lasgo?

Well, at least lasgo uses different sounds in his songs, 1-0

I have my doubts, that this artists who pvd have mantioned are responsible for this problem. He should rather blame the industry, who have commercialized this sound as trance, although it wasn't

don't exaggerate, maybe their self-productions may become a bit commercial, but they still produce tracks, which aren't suitable for the mainstream, AND realize, how many people they introduce with their fame to the scene, with their sets which are still full of quality trance..

i agree.

seriously. listen to PVDs lastest album. Loads of vocals, cheesy patterns and the distance is not that far away from Ian van Dahl.
At least not far enough for a statement like that from mr van Dyk.

so true though........

how old is that quote?

I was told about this but forgot to ask the person how old it was and I did a search and nothing come up

Think again.

that quote isn't even real. either that or someone just sucks at copying it out of whatever "source" it came from. i think this is crap, and even if it isn't, i got a good laugh out of the PvD bashing!

Please tell me you're not being that deliberately dense.

Yes, exactly.

PvD fans felt betrayed by Reflections. We gave him a lot of credit to run with, but after two years of this nonsense it clearly wasn't a fluke or misstep.

The commercially-bent production work kept on rolling, and Vandit stepped up quantity over quality.

yeah Reflections was a MASSIVE dissapointment and I think he lost lots of old fans (including me) with that one.
and recently he had a big dissapointment with TPOD2.
The once so great DJ from Germany hailed as the god of trance in every music magazine started to fall.
So far what actually saved the last of his reputation is the fact that he was one of the pioneers and contributed alot in the past. But this doesn't last forever.
Tiesto gets alot of bashing but PVD is not far away at all. Both went the same direction. Money and fame before fans.

Trance the trance up you trancing trancehole!

Hmm, doesn't sound like a dirty word to me.

And lmao at Tiesto and AvB saving trance. They killed it for me imo, not DJ Sammy etc.

haha, memories.....


The original thread with this quote was huge. I just wish that the search function was working properly.

say what you want about pvd and tiesto but leave armin out of this!!!
