What PVD has to say about Ian Van Dahl and DJ Sammy in the Oct, 2003 MixMag

Paul Van Dyk- What he has to say about TRANCE in the new MixMag...
In the October 2003 MixMag, Paul Van Dyk says the following about trance:

"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."

Perhaps the people responsible are not the artists, but those poorly misinformed individuals who classify van Dahl and DJ Sammy as trance rather than the more appropriate classification of pop. If these particular artists are the ones responsible, then so be it.

Nobody's a moron for liking a musical work. To each his own. I guess the cheese wars are slowly turning into very vocal cat fights. How sad.

Paul is right on the mark with that commentary he doesn't attack those guys but lets people know that that is not trance. End of story. Once again DJ Sammy, Ian Van Dahl is not trance.

Well...

I personally like what PVD had to say... basically pointing out that trance is not what DJ Sammy... and etc... play.

I love how he states that trance is good music that fucks with your head... ya know?

Then again... after hearing PVD's "Relections" album... he shouldn't speak too soon... some of his tracks are... ????... well... just odd.

i pity the poor misinformed losers who see DJ Shammy and Ian van Dull and crew on MTV or their favourite commercial garbage radio station and think "that's techno? what shit." too bad they'll probably never discover the joys of trance and REAL dance music. Way to go PvD, it's great to hear a big name expose all this dreck as the pop trash that it is.

"fucking good dancefloor music that messes with your head"...i'm putting that in my sig from now on

I honestly doubt that's true (especially for people who are new to 'techno.')

Exactly.

What was that DJ Sammy track that he had been playing too? I can't remember the name...

I believe pvd's been playing dj sammy - sunlight (pulser remix), and he did a remix with two other producers, the track was called "dj sammy - boys of summer (humate remix).
