If you notice the progression of PVD from 2004 to to current, he's been collaborating with more and more vocalists, and the stuff has been getting more and more pop-ish (like you hear here). This isn't even a dance-genre type song, it's an anthem, yes. It is a little sad to hear that tune in a gatecrasher set, if you ask me. It's like plopping a rock tune down and letting it play out and see if people go nuts over it. I go to shows to hear high energy, electrifying dance music and watch a DJ show some grade-A mixing skills, be it do some badass stuff with Ableton Live (which Paul does) -- but not on stuff like this.
I am in the mood to share, maybe give you an idea of when Paul played sets that were nothing like this --sets that were constant, banging, high energy, rich, and epic.
Definitely check these out:

those examples (above) are the grade of live music I've come to expect from PVD's livesets - knock your socks off electronic mania...not some male vocalist with backup guitar played off a CDR.
