I thought he was Dutch for the longest time because of the "Van".... wasn't until I got Global and watched the DVD, saw him talk in German and play at Love Parade Berlin, haha :stongue:

A lot of people in Holland, who don't know anything about trance, think that Paul van Dyk is a dutchman, because this name is so typical Dutch.

I still think PvD is his real name. Matthias could have been his father name and Van Dyk his mother one

Funny story. On my way to Cream at Amnesia in ibiza this summer, I was stuck on a bus with all these "paul van dyk greatest fans" from England. I was having a conversation with maybe a group of 10 of them and they all claimed to know all of PVD's sets, biography, discography etc. However, they REFUSED to believe me that he was German!! Every single one of them thought he was from Holland...yet I being alone was unable to convince them. Bunch of morons..won't forget that. "greatest fans"

Matthias Paul is his real name and I think he borrowed 'van Dyk' from his mother since his father left them at very young age

Paul van Dyk...Famous For : people spelling his name with an e.


:stongue:

That's exactly what I thought when I first heard his name on the radio and had no idea what trance was. :haha: :wtf:

Interesting to know his real name is Mathias...

Still doesn't change his music, though - regardless of what your opinion of him is.
