i'm definitely no expert on pvd, know alot less abt him than u guys mostly, but i still think all of his remixes and tracks he produces are kickass....just look at the way he remixed thrillseekers-synaesthesia and also sound de zign-happiness...i mean he's not the only dj that has made remixes of those tracks but for me at least his remixes are like way better than those of the other DJs...
as for the raves, i download them mainly for his track selection...i mean every set of his seems to have at least one NEW track, totally unknown and majorly kickass....heheh...case in point: the rosenmontag set...and thats just one case, i hope u'll agree...
so all in all hes an awesum DJ, and nobody is perfect, u can't possibly expect every single set of his to be perfect...

Okay, I love the PvD back in 99 - 00, the tunes were just, take for example mayday 2000, what a set, but there's some bad connections with the people here in Miami and PvD, I heard that when he came to Miami last year to do the 6 hr set, I heard he was horrible, many said that it was the worst of PvD, he was spinning music that was so not him, also, Miami is not that big in trance but its there, the house is there also, and PvD thought that since people in Miami love house, he may have thought that that would make it better.. very wrong right ?!?!
As of for the tunes , Des Mitchell - welcome to the dance, I heavent heard that track for a while , but damm what a good track that is, it's ashame that the crowd didnt get the vibe with the old classics, they do in europe where they look for the smallest details, and they still go nuts, PvD for the WMC on space, played tunes like binary finary and for an angel, I once again heard that he the crowd didnt go all that crazy, not even carl cox was able to.
So in the end, what tunes was people expecting from pvd ?!?! I mean, old classics will always cause i positive reaction on a GOOD crowd. |

I ask, how many times have you seen him?
If that was your first, then you must of caught him on a bad night. They are VERY VERY rare ya know. Its a shame cuz my boy has seen him in miami and central florida a few times, and atlanta. Said he was the best show hes seen.
Never seen him live personally, space is 21+ so that!
but imho he throws down more quality sets then anyone else around now. AVB is close behind, folowed by tiesto. |

| i still remember the first time i went to twilo, it was the fall of '99 and pvd was spinning...i remember because i had just started listening to trance at the time and all my friends kept ranting and raving about some Paul van Dyk fella...on the way to the club they kept playing tracks in the car and couldn't stop praising the guy...i got kinda annoyed and felt as though i was in for a long evening...when we finally got in the club, which took two and a half hours, he just started his set...at first i thought, how could everybody sweat this guy so hard?...then i remember that he played Xpander and i was in shock...he carried that into "forbidden fruit" and then into "for an angel"...it was really amazing and beautiful...that made me realize how much power a dj has over the crowd...that made me realize that pvd was very god-like...true in the sense that every person in the club, except for those waiting on the bathroom line, was in the palm of his hand...thats pretty god-like to me...and i guess i was also really lucky for that to be my first pvd experience...sorry tranceCollector...i wish it was yours as well...jp |

| My guestimate is that he wasn't so into the crowd because HE WAS SUSPOSED TO PLAY AT TWILO THAT NIGHT! Paul was probably very upset about Twilo being shut down, killing off his residency. He has said in numerous interviews that his favorite place to play is his hometown Berlin & Twilo, NYC. His sets at Twilo were MAGICAL! Tremendous energy & Great vibe. His last performance... his 2 Anniversary Party in April was PHENOMENAL! He threw For an Angel 12'' into the crowd at 10:30 am. There were still 2,000 ppl there. |

Why did U buy 2 more pills if U didn't feel the first???
That sux, I got fake pills at the 6 element rave last summer. Luckily I found MDMA capsules later for $10. :)
The 1 year Anniversary March 24,00 was my first time seeing PVD. I was hooked. I was in shock when he dropped Expander & Deep Dish's Phat remix of Sexual. |

we got two more pills cuz it was freakin PVD and i was really into rollin then...even though i didn't feel the first one, i was pretty determined to feel something that night...ultimately, it was just PVD's amazing set...come to think of it, Twilogoddess, you might of saw my friends and i...Well, one of my friends had a freakin leg brace over his pants that night and had crutches as well...when you walk into the main room, the left was made a vip suite, right?..well we were chillin in the left far left corner of the room...when we tried to leave at 5:30, we had to literally set up a freakin motorcade of people to escort my friend out..he would've never made it out of the club alive cuz there were too many people and his damn leg was still in a lot of pain, but this kid loves PVD so it didn't matter...shiet, we had to exit through the emergency exit doors behind the bleachers...bouncers saw him and let us all out...well, just wondering if you saw us or him...and i do remember pvd playin expander, i'm at a lost for words...( i sound like a pvd whore...hahaha) but i truly do worship him...as a dj, producer and a pioneer...jp |
