146 isn't too fast lots of trance artists play in the 140s. Astrix has lots of tunes from 140-145.

Stuff like 170... 180, now thats fast.

yeah hes a german, the german crowd likes it hard and fast mostly.

PvD tracks aint the hardest but he manages to pull out great efforts like playing mellower tracks like Marco V and then harder tracks like Boca - Miami. All without you noticing the transition tooo much sometimes. Try some of the transitions PvD's makes on yur own decks and then you will see how good he is.

Where and when was this picture of Paul taken? He looks very skinny!

I think thats at Roxy, NYC.

PvD's sets are full of energy and the tracks he plays always sound better @ the speed he chooses ! He's simply a GOD ! I don't think the tunes sound like happy hardcore !

I wish he was holding the record with his middle finger that would've been an awesome picture!! But I spin at about 140-144 and it really gets people going. It's just fast paced and makes you want to shake your ass and get on the dancefloor to loose it. It always works for me

Originally posted by DJ Mikey Mike i love it how paul plays with such speed. At this years Mayday, how fucking fast was he spinning Dreamland!!!! omg it was incredible. So much energy. I live at +6%

Oh yeah, that was the best speed for Dreamland! But, considering that Mayday WAS something like a "rave" event, it isn't strange that pvd played @ 146 bpm!

Listen to an hour of Thunderdome - A Decade (12-10-2002).mp3 ~ 505 mbs 6 hours and then you'll think that drum 'n' bass is an opera...

I agree


Anyway, as most people mentioned in this thread, when you have a track @ 138 bpm (which most trance tracks are at that bpm) and you pitch it up @ 144 bpm, it has a great difference and it "gives you more energy". Even if you don't move, the track itself will force you to move a bit with its bassline penetrating your body!

Well, I can say that nothing irritates me more than hearing a class choon, wanting to go off to it, only to find it too slow to put any effort on your body. I like to sweat!!

I usually mix in the 144-146 region, just to keeps things nice and grooving.
