Paul van Dyk at Space Miami (3/24/02)........WOW!!!!

Well, I just came back from the WMC. Ultra was AWESOME!!!! The whole ezdreamer.com crew (about 24 of us) got there at 2 and we pretty much spent most of the time in the Progressive arena....which surpsingly was the least populated throughout the whole event. fine by me....more room to dance and be a dj whore . The order was all fucked up and a lot of DJ's there were a no show. as a result....Mick Wilson played early and John Graham played for 3 hours......he had the BEST set out of the entire festival. John Graham just blew my mind away dropping a lot of wicked beats and breaks and dark trance and progressive. Max Graham came on next for a brief but bangin' set and then Dave Ralph kept it up with some great progressive trance. Josh Wink then DJ 3 followed and both almost put me to sleep.

I briefly saw Scott Bond who SUCKED my left nut. Briefly saw Alex Gold who was really really good. Markus Schultz was AWESOME. I checked out BT for a bit and he trainwrecked every other mix but his track selection was really good. Tiesto was crap. and even PvD who closed the festival was blah to me. I wasn't too moved by his short 50 min set at all. I recorded it on my MD player but it came out a little to bassy.

Sunday night most of us went to PvD at Space. we were the FIRST people to set foot in the door. The opening DJ Jerry Bonham was fucking fantastic. he played just pure dark tech house ala Digweed and you couldn't help but groove to him. The second DJ was a new space resident who was ok at first but his track selection went way downhill as his set progressed.

as for PvD.....I will definitely write a more in depth review later....but for now.......let me just say that I've seen him a total of 19 times now, and this was the BEST set I've EVER heard in my life. He was just AMAZING!

His set started out dark and banging. Lots of prog house, deep house and he played LOTS of breaks all night long. 2 hours of new dark progressive beats and then the set took on a deeper tone and he just played the sickest music.....I wouldn't even call it trance so much as PvD's own style of mind-bending, jizz-inducing melodica. after about 3 hours or so the BPM's were kicked up a notch and he started playing some of his signature tunes and some old classics. He ended 6 and a half hours later with Gaia - 4 elements. I lost my voice from screaming all night and I still haven't come to terms with how good that set was.

Here's the tracklist I came up with. I'm missing about 3-4 hours of new music that I've never heard before. In the first hour alone I only knew the first two tracks I listed.


Timo Maas � Ubik (The Dance)
Joker Jam � Innocence (PvD remix)
Jimpy � Feeling Good (new remix)

James Holden � Solstice
Second Sun � Unknown (new track 1)
Second Sun � Unknown (new track 2)
Liquid State feat Marcella Woods � Falling (Hernan Cataneo mix)
Nu Breed � Food For Thought (Dark Alley mix)
Humate � Vivid
Starecase � See
Solid Sleep � Club Attack (PvD remix)
Minimalistix � Close Cover (Filterheadz remix)
Pat Foosheen � Automation
Space Brothers � Everywhere I Go (PvD remix)
Way Out West � The Gift (Nick Warren�s new club mix)

Paul van Dyk � Another Way (Club mix)
4 Strings � Into the night
Gaia � 4 Elements (closed with this)

Hot digidy,
Sounds awesome, I wish Paul will come to play for us here in Israel once.
Unfotunatly no club can afford him, anyway this looks like a wicked set.
You have any idea where it can be downloaded?

Yeah it was an AMAZING set. Unfortunately I was just trainspotting throughout the entire 6 and a half hours that he played. I only knew about 35 tracks. There's at least 40 or more tracks that I've never heard before that were interspersed in between there. I don't know if it was recorded though I did record his ultra set which was very poor imo.

Ok, I understand
Paul has his way to make the crowd go nuts, part of the thing is to play the well known and the well unknown tracks out there
I hope I will be able to find a place which holds this gem of a set for all of us Tranceaddics
Till next time

Hey man Paul came to israel once but i dont remember what club he played in
Anyway he wouldnt come to israel not because clubs can't afford him...
he won't come because of the situation between us and the arabs
but thats not because he's afraid that's because of the "war"

i just hate the guy who posted the tracklist !!!!!!!
i just sold my ticket for pvd in montreal !
and now you come with this tracklist...

OK.. If it went as you said .. Where did he finds all the good "unknown" tunes to play? Why do many DJs start spinning breaks now? Hoe many record bags did he carry with him? ????

Raven:

hey raven,

You still coming to NYC for PVD? I think he has a lil something extra in stored for the people of NEw york..dont you think? I'll be looking out for you and the rest of the peeps...

i hope someone recorded it...

I hope he plays similar in SF this friday.

SuzAANN omg!

OMG, thats one sick tracklist...whenever he comes to Toronto, he better play those tunes...all of them

what a wicked trainspotter.

ive never heard of starecase - see
??

jerry bonham, i have no doubt he was awesome... suzann is an average track... but still his tracklist looks good.

starting with ubik tho? kinda weird. anyways...
great review

RAven

Raven, i was like the 10th person in line waiting for the door to open too!! I was the tall bald asian guy, i dont know if you rmemeber, but yea man, he was droppin some NAAAAAASSSTYYYYYYYY HARD ASS BEATS down in the beginning while i was there, i stayed for like 2hrs of his performance, couldn't stay longer cuz i had to catch a flight. He was amazing.

Oh, and i lost my voice too, im still recovering, and when i got out of the club, my ears were so popped everyone sounded like they inhaled some helium. Everything sounded high pitched, im still recovering from that too, lol.

You guys are makign me feel bad
I Wish I could see Paul spinning some day...

Im so glad i get to see him spin twice in 3 weeks, once at Gatecrasher at the NEC, and then two weeks later at the Gatecrasher@Heaven, London opening night, for three hours!

I know the guy behind Second Sun, his name is Antoine. He's finished the B side track to "Empire" and he's done a new track....both of which he said that pvd dropped. I'll find out the names of the tunes soon and post them here. There's also about 40-45 odd tracks that I've never heard before that aren't even on that list. I just listed the ones that I recognized. PvD has ALWAYS spun breaks when he spins long sets. At Twilo he used to drop breaks ALL the time. I didn't see how many record bags he had with him but he had 5 bodyguards rush him out of space after his set with a huge mob of people following and a couple of the bodyguards were carrying his cases.

Patticus, "Ubik" was his second track. I don't know what the first track he dropped was. His whole first hour was new musik that I didn't know....the only other track in that hour that I recognized was "Innocence". I LOVE "Suzann", I think it's a phat ass track.

Vinylgroovah, I think I remember you....where you with a whole bunch of other asians and one white girl? I was there with about 17 other people...we were standing near the bathroom of the front room until they opened the doors to the main room.

VOP.....I'll definitely be at SF tomorrow for PvD.....if he plays as good as he was in Miami I'll be the happiest guy alive.

raven,

haha, yea that was me, it was me, couple other doods and my friends gf who's white. Yea, i remember you being with a big group of ppl, cuz the ppl behind us were with you guys too. Was an awesome night.

By any chance, were u da dood rite in front of me in line talkin about the club "buzz"??? If you were, i wanted to say something to you cuz thats mah home club. But anyways, hope u had fun. payceeee

HOLY CRAP. Sounds like it was awesome. Too bad I missed it, but dang I can't wait until tomorrow when he spins in NYC...just another 34 hours to go.

Yeah that was me....that's also my second home. I went to school at Johns Hopkins so I used to go to Buzz ALL the time. I went there for Sander/pappa/warren teh wed before WMC. I drove there from philly and drove back afterward to go to work. I was in the VIP room most of the night hanging with the dj's. I'll be there again for max graham....then S&D

are you coming to NYC tomorrow to see pvd? I'm giong for sure. It's going to be bigger than the return of the messiah.

When he played 2 CHicane songs back to baack - I went nutz..
I hope he plays the same set in SF this weekend.. I will be there..
WMC was great.. Could not Listen to Tiesto after PVD.. PVD is GOD

Damn... Que, I think I saw u there, but was not sure it was u..
I was by the back speakers most of the time..
I should have called u ahead of time...
