Originally posted by TranceSeeker And hey guys, don't hate me for saying this, it's just my opinion on PVD, convince me that he's a brilliant dj, I did't make this thread to flame, just want a good discussion. Personally his playing style just doesn't fit on me. Neither does Gielen and Corsten, similar dj's. I got respect for him but convince me that he creates awsome journeys... (you can't huh ) I got one set of him that is actually "good" and that's paul van dyk - essential mix Live at Home London (23.04.2000) (except from darude then....)

I was about to mention that Essential Mix. He really sets the mood perfectly in that one. Starts off with a nice melodic track, then kicks into a more techy tune and then back again to a major uplifting tune that'll make you go crazy. After that...the energry goes up and down throughout the set, hitting "climax" about 3-4 times throughout the set.
This is one thing that I've noticed about PvD these days...he doesn't craft his sets the way he used to, of course, I wouldn't go as far as you and put him in the same class as Corsten and Gielen, because at least his uplifting, imo, is good uplifting and not cheesed out to the max, and they're his style, so to speak. You rarely see Gielen drop something that PvD drops, unless its a real big uplifting tune.

all a matter of perspective jokes bro heh heh heh

i agree with your previous post arturo, when pvd laid down so many prog tracks in his sets, it started to turn me off too, he spins like a god but IMO prog just ain't him.

I admit I haven't seen him live yet, but like Webbie argued you have people and people, the ones that go to a party and go nuts on the tunes played there, and you have people who conclude the whole set instead of the party-degree.
I know I'll go nuts too if I see him live, just because the bangin tracks he plays.
To go further on people and people, if im at a party im the first kind of people and if I'm home I'm the other kind of people, the one that is satisfied at the end of a set because the sets took you for a whole 120 minutes by the throat and didn't let you go, you see what I'm trying to say.
This whole thread is spoken as a 2nd kind of people.
I know damn well if I see him live I would go nuts and if he spins somewhere in ma country im the first one to see him.
But just think of my point of view now, away from the live experience.
If I listen to a pvd set here I put it off after 30 minutes because it takes you nowhere...see...?

Yeah I know what your saying, just thought I'd ask the question.

If I go see a DJ I will be going nuts at the time, thats what i paid my money for, not to stand around and be anal about the set structure etc. But when I get home i'll usually have a chat with mates about the tunes that was played etc and then maybe i'll see if it was as good as I thought at the time.

I've seen PVD live twice, last October of last year and April of this year. I have all his CD's.

Here is my opinion:

1.If you like deep bass lines that consist of fast sixteenth notes or anything more then du da du da du da du da, don't listen to PVD.

2. If you like strings or very warm pads, don't listen to PVD

3. If you don't like pop and fizz then don't listen to PVD You will hear four hours of kick snare kick snare kick snare...

Both times I saw him I went crazy. Completely hyped, I loved it, but taken on a journey? NO. He is an excellent DJ, but I have heard better.

Opinion of course.
