"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."

still just as funny as when i read it the first time. this is the statement that makes pvd the biggest fucking hypodrite out there. what a sellout

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..

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.
