Sorry Paul, a man responsible for virtually starting the trend should just STFU.
White Lies?
Castaway?
ing Wayne Jackson - other side?
Nothing but you?
Hm.. Hey, on Vandit - Lo Fi Sugar "So High"?
You call THAT Trance? Hey Paul, don't know about you but 'we're heading for Venus in a getaway car'... so just "Let Go"
Talk about f'n cheese:
If you wanna try and save me
Then take my heart and hate me
If you feel you can't let go, let go |

I also agree with him too! But he's pointing the blame at others when he shouldn't be.
Time to bust out my cheese grater on this fool!
And notice how he insists on not being classified as a trance DJ? Really then, what would you consider yourself Paul? And Rank 1 isn't trance? Am I missing something? Watching this video makes me feel like im taking Crazy pills!
Just to get the point across. |

| He can call his music hip hop but it doesn't make it so. |

PvD has every right to gripe about the state of EDM right now and if you ask me, the biggest culprits are bad trance and minimal techno. I personally like minimal techno, but it is un-listenable to the untrained ear or anywhere outside a club. It rocks when played out in a big system and fun as to mix if you're a DJ (no clashing melodies) but it's not gonna garner any new EDM fans. And PvD's bashing of trance is quite justifiable. Everyone with a computer and a silly melody playing in their heads seems to produce a completely unoriginal trance track and it is flooded on beatport.
I could write a 20 page essay on the pros and cons of easily accessible digital media and it's effects on EDM. But what it boils down to is that there's just too much "trance" out there right now and it is damn near impossible to sift through all of it.
I know for some of you dinosaurs out there like me, you long for the days of listening to records at satellite records in front of that battered technics 1200 and not listening to mp3 samples sitting in front of a monitor. Sadly, I have 1000 records sitting in a storage room now while my music is played through traktor on a mac. I'm still confused as to whether this is a good or bad thing..... |

every time i've seen PvD spin he's been over 140bpm all night. he's far more of a trance dj than tiesto or armin so i don't know what he's going on about. vandit is the only one of the top 3 labels that's stuck to euphoric and uplifting trance. |

I think what he fails to mention in this interview that I've heard him mention in the past is that there are so many more tracks out there being made by people who have no experience or business making music on PCs with outdated software and unbalanced mastering that the process of weeding those tracks out leaves only 1% of tracks playable. |
Everyone's gotta start somewhere :) |

What IS trance, really? How do you define it? Because Trance ideally would be something like adagio for strings, sail or la guitarra. I mean, I guess choosing genres for songs or artists could be a matter of opinion, but seriously what Paul spins does not sound like trance to me.
It seems that these days anything above 135 bpm is automatically labeled as trance. |
