PVD

Internationally renown German DJ PVD has a busy schedule granted.

Having already played to sold out shows in Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane, Paul Van Dyke has plenty of big dates ahead of him before the years out.

This is van Dyk’s 6th tour down under and sure to be his best yet...........

World wide tours eh?

The promo for his arrival on teesside has been massive, So it was a lil' bit funny to hear last night he pulled his uk gigs.

Born in Eisenhuettenstadt, East Germany, Paul van Dyk grew up in communist East Berlin under the gaze of the Berlin Wall. In 1989, after the wall finally came down, a broad club culture sprung up throughout all of Berlin and although Techno music emerged, Paul was looking for a different, more unique sound.

PVD started writing and producing his own tracks like Time Of Our Lives, which was a huge club hit and gained him success in Europe and the U.K.

In 1999 he was named Best international DJ and Best Music Maker by U.K. DJ Magazine ahead of the likes of Fatboy Slim and Paul Oakenfold.

Playing the Empire here in sunny Middlesbrough october 2003 was an awesome set, with highlight tracks 'nothing but you' and Paul Oakenfolds 'Southern sun'.

Amazing live dj worhty of a 20 pound entrance fee, only a few djs would this be acceptable door wise.

Paul isnt one of them in my opinion. Decent enough, I believe his commercial hype does not reflect his quality of music. Whether it has in the past is another issue.

Give my roger sanchez anyday........

....Release yourself.....

lets not eh roger

Paul was voted America’s Favorite DJ for 2004 by BPM Magazine and was the big winner at the 2004 Dancestar Awards, taking home 3 awards - Best International DJ, Best Event and Best Music in a Commercial (Motorola).

Today, Paul’s touring diary is incredibly hectic with regular globetrotting stops at major venues in London, Tel Aviv, Mexico, New York, Singapore and Australia.

Sadly the eager punters of Middlesbrough werent in his plans this year.....Febuary 1st it is then......oh well maybe next year indeed.

Politics of Dancing 2 following on from Politics 1 album in 2001 is his latest album held in high regard and a distinct development in his work.

Worth a squirt?

oh yea.
