Paul van Dyk said himself that he loves all kind of electronic music that's why he plays different styles

Comparing the Set Paul Van Dyk Live @ Mark Spoon Birthday Party with the new Set Live @ Columbiahalle, I noticed that the old sets are WAY better!

And.. YES.. I'd call tracks like V.I.P. 3000 - The Combat or Resistance D - You Were Here (Heckmann Remix) Progressive!

Compared to the tracklist..

You're right Astronaut, PvD plays all different types of stuff.....breaks, progressive house, hard trance, uplifting epic trance, disco house, techno, tech-trance....but mostly DEEP TRANCE....mmmmmmm.

some of his progressive sets are:

live @ Nikita
live @ Simons
live @ O (first disk is progressive, then get's more trance last 2 disks)
live @ Ministry of Sound (jan 2001, not the older one)
live @ Columbiahalle (first 2 parts)

I love how he's so versatile.

ALL his sets are amazing!

"how we used to live" is progressive, so is the pvd club mix of "tell me why", so is "vega" starecase remix.

"out there" and "a different journey to vega" are more techno cuts.

Personally, I think his quality has dropped off immensly in the last few years. But oh well.

this must be a misunderstanding

do you know what progressive means????

just listen a Sasha, Digweed, or a Deep Dish set!
That's what I call progressive.
Compare them to a PvD set, and you realize that PvD is not progressive!

and the tracks you, Raven mentioned are epic trance, or uplifting.

i dunno if all thoes sets are progressive .. sasha and diggers are more progressive...but pvd seems to be playing way more mello .. and in downloading the set swamper has up now and well thats pretty progressive..

the PVD of old is way better in my view.. Homelands is one set which he got spot on.. very good track selection.. also the older sets from "ministry of sound sessions" galley turnmills etc..

his SSS set was very uplifting too.. i guess pvd has become a moody DJ.. playing what he feels.. bit of a let down coz paying $$ to see him and then a huge let down when he dropps all these slow fluffy tunes... not good in my view.. i saw him last year and he blew everyone away.. so hard and uplifting .. people were crying .. he knew he got it right.. we couldnt dance at all ,, so packed,, we just stood there... the best 4 hour set ive ever been to ..
