yeha lucky for sure,, never seen so many people with .. i went up the front and people were just bopping up and down,, crying .. amazing scene

personally i think his newer sets are amazing. the recent columbiahalle set is probably the most radical departure for him that i have personally heard. i am far from the resident PvD expert here, but compare the third part of "Live At The O" to the second part of Columbiahalle and the difference is amazing. I love both of them, but you can really see the progression. the grooves are deeper and the pacing is, IMHO, a little bit better than some of the older sets where there was the tendency to have one anthemic trance song after another (Mayday 2000, for example).

I wouldn't know if his style changes but the last live set I heard from him was very good.. i really liked it so hope he stays this way.. He's pure quality

I think he's following the trend of playing more progressive as many other top name DJs are doing. I don't like progressive too much but when PvD plays it, it's awesome. He does say that he plays 'electronic music' so he's going to obviously then have some diversity of styles in his sets. I don't think he'll ever lose that uplifting feeling in his sets, it might be less than it used to but his sets will always have that amazing feeling to them whether they are progressive or uplifting.

last time i saw pvd he kicked off with some nasty dark trance... which sorta drops in with prog a bit... everything is mixed up neways...

hey.... i know you are taking a slating from some people for saying he has played prog tracks/sets.....but he has... paul van dyk 6 hour sets at gatecrasher..he always plays a deep progressive set in the middle.... of course he plays the high energy trance that everyone has heard but there is a different side to pvd that some of you havent experienced... he has played all sorts... house (eg amber-sexual), breakbeat (eg bt-fibonacci sequence), trance, progressive obvious examples there... and even i was told a drum and bass track!!! from layo and bushwacka! i think... and hard house ..in the way of a pants and corset track! he is the most diverse dj i know..and thats why we admire him so.... cu

Originally posted by Astronaut 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 got my own definition of trance. Those tunes I call Progressive Trance, but I just call it Progressive instead of saying the whole 2 words all the time. I personally don't listen to Sasha, Digweed ect.

I kinda miss the good old hard sets! They ruled! But now..

Paul is definitely showing his diversity and versatility when it comes to his recent sets..but as everyone is stating, he promotes electronic music as a whole...and to begin separating his music into different genres, i believe, might be a mistake. Many of his productions have elements of what people might consider drum&bass, breakbeat, and the repetitive rhythms of techno and trance....overall, he is THE biggest Ambassador of electronic music in the world right now, so to claim that he is following the trend of becoming a "progressive" dj is B.S. Just sit back and listen to his intelligence and artistry of music..and im sure you'll be satisfied...

Favorite track at the moment: Cirillo-Cristallo (PVD Mix)
