Пол ван Дюк, или как его еще называют, Пол ван Дайк (Paul Van Dyk)
- (16 декабря 1971 года, Айзенхюттенштадт) - немецкий DJ, родился 16
декабря 1971 года в городке , Айзенхюттенштадт, восточная Германия.
Детство музыканта проходило в восточном Берлине, за <железным
занавесом>, где знакомство с западной культурой происходило при
прослушивании запрещенных радиостанций RIAS и SFB и записей, которые
провозили контрабандой. Сразу же после падения Берлинской стены юный
Пол ван Дайк с родителями были сосланы в Гамбург к родственникам.
Однако в 1990 году Paul вернулся в Берлин и уже в марте 1991 года играл
в клубе Tresor. Сразу же после этого его приглашают сыграть на
вечеринке Juergen Kramer в клубе Turbine вместе с DJ Кид Пол (Kid
Paul). Это шоу получило название Paul vs. Paul. Стиль Paul Van Dyk
заинтересовал Cosmic Baby и они объединились под названием The Visions
of Shiva, однако этот союз просуществовал всего пару лет. В годы
сотрудничества у Пола ван Дюка появляется первое радио-шоу HR3
Clubnight. В последующие годы музыкант создает DJ-микс , ремикс на классический транс-гимн . В 1994 в свет выходят , и . За Paul Van Dyk прочно закрепляется титул <пионера транс-музыки>, а его популярность давно выходит за пределы родной страны. К
2000 году Пол ван Дюк меняет свой стиль на более мелодичный и выпускает
Out There And Back, The Politics of Dancing. А альбом Reflections
(2003), написанный после поездки Пола ван Дайка в Индию, стал еще более
меланхоличным. Настоящим триумфом можно назвать Сейчас Paul Van Dyk ведет еженедельное радио-шоу Vonyc Sessions, которое транслируется многими станциями Европы. Музыкант состоит в счастливом браке с Наташе ван Дюк (Natascha van Dyk).
------------
Paul
van Dyk (born December 16, 1971(1971-12-16) as Matthias Paul in
Eisenhuttenstadt, Brandenburg, Germany) is one of the worlds leading
electronic dance music DJs and producers.[2] He was a trance producer
in the early 1990s, but has since stated in an interview that he no
longer defines his music as trance.[3]
Early career
Van
Dyk grew up in East Berlin where he kept in touch with the world beyond
the Berlin Wall by secretly listening to the popular but forbidden
Western radio stations RIAS (Radio in the American Sector) and SFB and
mixtapes occasionally smuggled into the country and copied among school
friends.
Shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall, van Dyk and
his mother were given permission to leave East Germany and moved to
Hamburg to live with his aunt. In 1990, van Dyk moved back to Berlin.
His first appearance as a DJ was in the Tresor in March 1991. A couple
more dates followed and he was soon given the chance to perform at
Juergen Kramers famous Dubmission parties in the Turbine club, together
with the highly popular young resident DJ Kid Paul. The shows were
called Paul vs. Paul. His mixing style drew the attention of Cosmic
Baby and the two collaborated as The Visions of Shiva, on "Perfect Day"
(1992) on the renowned Berlin independent label MFS (Masterminded For
Success) Records, run by English ex-patriat producer Mark Reeder and
manager Torsten Jurk.
In February 1993, van Dyk and Kid Paul
hosted an installment of the weekly three-hour "HR3 Clubnight" radio
show perform for a nationwide audience on German radio. The second and
final Visions of Shiva single "How Much Can You Take?" was released and
van Dyk and Cosmic went their separate musical ways. By late summer,
Paul released his first DJ-mix compilation "X-Mix-1 - the MFS Trip" and
remixed Humates trance hymn "Love Stimulation".
The growing
popularity of the Dubmission parties forced a venues change, first to
Cafe Moskau and then into the larger E-Werk where van Dyk began hosting
regular MFS nights.
1994-2007
In 1994 Paul released "The
Green Valley EP", "Pump This Party" and "Emergency 911". Meanwhile, MFS
acquired many remixes for Paul and Reeders close friendship with
artists such as New Order gave Paul the opportunity to mix the track
"Spooky" from the Republic album. Persuaded by Reeder, he finally
recorded his debut LP 45 RPM with Johnny Klimek and VOOV. Reeder also
compiled the albums running order and design, and chose the albums
title as a reflection of the 45 rpm speed typical for dance vinyl.
Reeder
compiled Seven Ways which established van Dyk as a trance pioneer and
was van Dyks first real success in Britain. Reeder had successfully
convinced his old friend Rob Deacon (formerly of Volume) to license the
album for the UK and his new Deviant label.
The singles
"Forbidden Fruit" and "Beautiful Place" did not cause a great impact at
first, but with the release of Seven Ways and "Words" appearing at the
height of the British superclub phenomenon, van Dyks own material began
to attract attention. "By the time they realised I was a German, it was
too late!" van Dyk said.
In 1998, 45 RPM was re-released in the
UK. To mark the event, and in homage to the defunct E-Werk, Paul
released a remix of "For An Angel". Van Dyk took up a residency at
Sheffields Gatecrasher and declared himself anti-drugs, which led to
home-made "No E, Pure PvD" T-shirts, also a sly note to journalists
that his surname contained no "E".
Van Dyk left MFS Records and
took a controlling share in the new label Vandit Records. In 2000, Paul
flexed his skills with his melodic, dancefloor-friendly Out There And
Back, which included the hit single "Tell Me Why (The Riddle)", a
collaboration with Saint Etienne. It also included the European hit We
Are Alive, a remixed version of the Jennifer Brown song Alive. His
first mix album The Politics of Dancing (2001) was followed by a world
tour and a DVD release Global (2003) and the Mexican film "Zurdo", for
which van Dyk composed the soundtrack.
Reflections (2003)
derived from van Dyks trips to India, was a more melancholy affair, and
includes the single "Nothing But You", a collaboration with Hemmstock
& Jennings. It was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best
Electronic Album. The mix album The Politics of Dancing 2 (2005) was
preceded by a single "The Other Side," featuring Wayne jackson; a song
dedicated to the victims, and their families, of the Sumatra-Andaman
earthquake and the subsequent tsunami that struck Thailand on December
26, 2004.
2007-present: In Between
Paul van Dyk released
his fifth studio album, In Between, worldwide on August 14, 2007. The
album, which he created over a three-year period, debuted at number
#115 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on the Billboards Top Electronic
Albums and Top Heatseekers. The album also reached #16 on the Mexican
Albums Chart and #5 on the Mexican International Chart. The album was
released accompanied by a special edition limited to two thousand
copies which included a mixed version of the full album, along with an
eight-track bonus CD and an eight-page photo anthology.[4]
The
album was produced primarily by Paul van Dyk himself, and features a
wide range of collaborators including David Byrne of Talking Heads,
Jessica Sutta of the Pussycat Dolls, Ashley Tomberlin from Luminary,
Alex M.O.R.P.H, Lo Fi Sugar, Rea Garvey of Reamonn, Ryan Merchant and
Wayne Jackson. It also features a vocal sample from Ben Lost from
Probspots "Blows My Mind" on the song "Another Sunday".
In June 2007, Paul van Dyk embarked on the worldwide "In Between Tour" to promote the album.[5]
Paul
van Dyk hosts a show on Radio Fritz every Saturday at 20:00 GMT. In his
latest gigs, he blurs the line between DJing and live performance
engineering by utilizing two 17" MacBook Pro laptops sporting Mainstage
(Logic 8 Pro) and Ableton Live software on both, two MIDI keyboards,
enabling a more fully-featured club experience more akin to a concert
than a standard night out at a dance club. On-the-fly remixes, mashups
and compositions are just some of the capabilities of this new
performance method.
In May 2008, Paul van Dyk set up a remix
competition with digital download network Beatport.com, inviting
aspiring producers to remix his single Far Away which appeared on his
2007 album In Between.
Personal life
He is married to
Natascha van Dyk, who also appears on some of his releases (Vocals on
"Together We Will Conquer"). The two were married in Cancun, Mexico.
