| Okay well I have noticed that most people refer to Paul Van Dyk as a god. I guess this is relative to each person I mean he was here, Miami FL, last week, since Twilo closed down and while his mixing was on target his programming left me with something to be desired. He really didn't feel the crowd out too well. I mean the crowds are diffrent everywhere you go. What people are used to, (ie. what they like), here is probably completely diffrent from other places he might spin. I mean I may have my taste in music but im no idiot. I realize PVD is a pioneer and is at the forefront of his profession for a reason. I am an open minded individual and I am pretty easy to please. But Paul Van Dyk was anyhting but a god on that night. Towards the end of his set, which pretty much went nowhere, he started playing old tunes like "Des Mitchell - Welcome to the Dance" & "Tiesto pres. Allure - We Ran at Dawn" and to make it all worse in the last half hour he started spining some house tunes. As if he were intentionally trying to slow down the pace of the night. Anybody who has been around the music that long should be able to tell what a crowd wants and I think it was pretty clear that the packed crowd wanted him to pick it up a bit. Anyhow I had a good time (I always do) so I am not saying he was horrible or anyhting but definetly not GODLIKE, this, of course, is just my point of view anyone else there that night might have had a much diffrent view, like I said, it's all relative. |

| I can see there being a lot of debate over this. Are you from Rare Music Finder? |

Yes I am, and since our SITE is being moved at th emoment I figured I's take a minute and post a little something. Since I am an avid TranceCollector and Clubber. I have my opinions, and I really don't know how to say this without sounding conceded but I hear a lot of music and I spend the majority of my time listening and now mixing and I pretty much collect every liveset or album I can find, so I feel that I am educated enough for my opinions to mean something. Many people jump on the PVD ban-wagon since he certainly has a lot of hype surrounding him. But again it all depends on what you like. Like I said it's all relative that was just my opinion I hope this doesn't start an argument. =)
Peace

| Trance, check your thread in the Chill out room :D. By the way, some people at space that were there that night for PVD said that his set wasnt all that great. Every Dj has thier bad dayz, some have thier good. I think that sort of explains it all, I do see where your coming from trancecollector. |

I haven't heard PvD live in a while, but based on his livesets, he's not impressed me since his harder ones last December... He went weak, and that was what was boring me up until that point - its like he went back to square one.
I still respect him highly, but that light trance doesn't have the enigma it used to. That's why I was hoping he was going the harder route.
Still one of my favorites... ;) |

| DJs are constantly changing their style and if PvD sees that him spinning sets like that isn't to the liking of the crowd, he'll realize it and hopefully go back to his awesome style he was using back in December. All in all, he is still a God becuz he is such an excellent producer and some of his sets are amazing. |

| Speaking of Rare Music Finder, what's happened to that "Rollinhardon*TC" idiot? |

ok.
i am here.
u know...
1: PvD played like that because:
*A: People and trance escene in Miami is not so big.
*B: You cant compare Twilo with Space.
*C: I wasnt there... hehehe... Space Twats didnt let me in. so he was angry.. hehehe =p
2: PvD has only played here (in Miami) like 6 times. He knows the crowd. He knows what to play and what not. Eg: I bet if he throws Happiness people will shock!!! maybe 643 hehehe... who knows.
I heard his Gig @ Space wasnt all all good. but was nice. At least he played few goooood tracks. Also i admit Des Mitchel is kinda OLD... hehehe but........... STILL A CLAASSSIX ;)

| Hey Trancecollector!! Nice to see you here and not just on rmf!! I admit not All PvD sets are fantastic. He plays such a wide range. He can from progressive to uplighting trance in any given night. I think he has the best range and breadth of any DJ. I've never seen him in miami but, his performances @ Twilo were always the bomb-diggity. Especially his last one. His set @ Ultra wasn't bad either. Maybe he just isn't in tune with Miami vibe yet. His last couple perofrmances at Twilo were mind blowing though. |
