About Paul van Dyk

EisenhĂŒttenstadt, East Germany
Born
December 16, 1971
Genre
Dance
Since the â90s, Germany has been one of global dance musicâs key hubs, and Paul van Dyk was one of the sceneâs original ambassadors. Born in the former East German town of EisenhĂŒttenstadt in 1971, the young van Dyk first encountered electronic music on the radio, and he began DJing in Berlinâs fertile club scene after the fall of the Wall. His early single âFor an Angel,â the enduring centerpiece of his 1994 debut album, 45 RPM, paired synth-pop melodies with the pumping grooves of trance and techno. As electronic music became a worldwide phenomenon, van Dyk became a trance superstar, but he didnât stop there: Collaborating with musicians like Saint Etienne and Curveâs Toni Halliday, he branched out from trance musicâs linear, arpeggiated form to embrace more melodic pop sounds. Heâs remained just as versatile over the yearsâwith, for instance, the pop-EDM of 2012âs âEternity,â featuring Owl Cityâs Adam Youngâbut the trance pioneer has never turned his back on the genre that made him, continuing to release a steady stream of uplifting, hypnotic, blissfully psychedelic club anthems.
