More Remixes to be released soon on MCD and digital format.

Grammy nominated artist and globally acclaimed DJ and Producer Paul van Dyk continues to dominate the electronic music charts and appears at the pinnacle of every Top DJ list across the globe. PvD, as his fans have nicknamed him, has been ranked the World’s No. 1 DJ by DJ Magazine’s “Top 100 DJs poll” for two consecutive years. His fifth original album In Between was released August 2007 and features collaborations with David Byrne and Jessica Sutta of the Pussycat Dolls.

PvD is renowned as one of the hardest working artists, with sold-out tours that cross each continent, headline spots at every major festival, and a hugely successful recording career. With over 3,5 million albums sold worldwide, van Dyk travels around the world over 16 times each year to sold out performances internationally. 2007 alone has brought us PvD remixes of Depeche Mode’s “Martyr”, Britney Spears’ „Gimmy more“ and Justin Timberlake’s “What Goes Around.... Comes Around”. In 2008 he collaborated amongst others with Peter Heppner, The Wombats and did Remixes on „The Dark Night“ movie soundtrack by Hans Zimmer, „Mirror’s Edge“, the video game by EA Games and has compiled and mixed the annual Cream Ibiza Compilation.

PvD received a Grammy nomination in 2005 for Best Dance/Electronic Album for his original album Reflections – this marked the first time NARAS recognized this category. His original productions from Reflections have been synced into major motion pictures such as “Into the Blue”, “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”, television’s “Entertainment Tonight” and MTV’s “Cribs”, and international ad campaigns for Motorola, HBO, Land Rover, Ski Vail and most recently for Jeep.
In 2008 Paul won 3 International Dance Music Awards (IDMA) for his tracks „Let Go“ and „White Lies“ from his Album In Between: Best Alternative/Rock Dance Track, Best HiNRG/Euro Track and Best Progressive House/Trance Track. In 2007 he got an IDMA for Best Euro DJ and got four IDMAs in 2006: Best Global DJ, Best NuNRG/Euro Track, Best Producer and Best Mix Compilation for The Politics of Dancing 2. In addition, PvD was voted “America’s Favorite DJ” for 2004 and 2005 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). He also won the Mexican Oscar for his soundtrack in the film Zurdo in March 2004. Paul van Dyk was voted "Best Music Maker" by DJ Magazine, received the “Best International DJ Award” at the 1999 Music Awards in London, was named "Best International DJ" by Ministry of Sound Magazine, and Mixmag elected him as “Man of the Year”.

Aside from his musical activity, Paul van Dyk has always dedicated a significant part of his life to politics and social justice: from his youth, when he fled over the Berlin Wall to the West, to his children’s charity in India’s Mumbai, and his partnership scheme with the German Red Cross to help disadvantaged children in Berlin. In 2004, PvD was the only electronic artist involved in a nationwide tour with the “Rock The Vote” campaign, where he joined the likes of Bono, P Diddy, the Black Eyed Peas and George Clinton in campaigning for America’s youth to sign up to vote in the presidential election. In 2006 he received Berlin’s Medal of Honor (Landesverdienstorden) in recognition of his work with Ruckenwind, a charity organization he founded dedicated to helping disadvantaged children in Berlin. He joins a distinguished list of arts and political establishment figures with this honor.

Born in Eisenhuettenstadt, East Germany, Paul van Dyk grew up in communist East Berlin. Because his community did not have a true club culture, Paul van Dyk listened to the radio where he discovered his passion for music that extended beyond Techno music – he wanted to create a different, more unique sound. In the early 1990s Paul van Dyk was spinning regularly at various clubs in Berlin before releasing his first album 45 RPM in 1994. But it wasn’t until the release of his second album Seven Ways which catapulted him into the Top 100, followed by the release of his hit single “For An Angel,” which began to earn him praise across the globe. By the time Paul van Dyk released Out There & Back in 2000, it became clear that the Berlin-based musician had far more to offer than his signature club sets and remixes that had already defined him as one of the most influential DJs and producers of all time. His first compilation mix CD Politics of Dancing was released in 2001, followed by Global in 2003 – a DVD which illustrates his own experiences traveling the world.

Paul van Dyk created the radio station VONYC Sessions focused on the electronic dance scene and broadcasting weekly radio shows on FM stations all around the globe. He runs the independent label VANDIT Records with digital sub imprint and artist management which is going to celebrate his 10th anniversary.

Paul van Dyk’s touring diary remains incredibly hectic with regular globetrotting stops at major venues across the globe from New York, London, Ibiza to India, China and Singapore. On New Year’s Eve 2008/2009 he played in front of an impressive audience of 1,5 Million people in Rio de Janeiro.

February 2009 saw van Dyk performing a unique collaboration with double Grammy winner and master conductor Paavo Järvi for the Music Discovery Project of internationally renown HR Symphony Orchestra. At Frankfurt..s Jahrhunderthalle, the electronic music artist and Paavo Järvi experimented with the music styles of far away galaxies. Both interpreted "The Planets" by Gustav Holst, the mighty orchestra suite with it..s powerful sound which even fans of "Star Trek", Star Wars" and "The Simpsons" could encounter.

In the little time remaining between all the travel, Paul van Dyk hosts his own radio show “Paul van Dyk’s VONYC Sessions” which airs weekly on radio stations all around the world to millions of listeners!
