Paul Van Dyk

Biography

Paul Van Dyk aka Matthias Paul was born in Eisenhüttenstadt, Germany. His first touch with music was through smuggled mix tapes in East Berlin, where he grew up. His breakthrough came from his first production, a collaboration with Cosmic Baby that was released in 1992. The following year a remix of Humate's "Love Stimulation" and his DJ residency at Berlin nightclub E-Werk earned Paul world class trance artist status.

Amongst a string of successfull personal albums and DJ sets Paul Van Dyk became famous for capturing the mood and emotion of melodic trance in the British club scene. A residency at Sheffield’s mega trance event Gatecrasher followed.

The fourth Paul van Dyk album Reflections was nominated for an American Grammy in the category of Best Electronic Album. Paul is always touring worldwide, he hosts a show on Radio Fritz and manages his record label Vandit records.

Paul van Dyk has established himself as one of the most influential figures in the field of trance music over the last decade both as a DJ, and a trance music producer.

He makes good music... not so good DJ... in my opinion.

He's one of the best in the world.

He has been in this business much before Tiesto and Armin.

During his shining period there were other top DJ such as Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed, Sasha, BT.

I'm not saying that he's old school, but all i'm saying he's shining ages were the 90s.

Great DJ.
