Name: Paul van Dyk
Genre: Electronic
Day: Sunday

Wikipedia sez: “Paul van Dyk is one of the world’s leading trance DJs and producers. Van Dyk hosts a show on Radio Fritz every Wednesday at 20:00GMT(7pm Londontime + 1). In his latest gigs, he blurs the line between DJing and live performance engineering by utilizing two PowerBook laptops sporting Serato Scratch LIVE and Ableton Live software, enabling a more full-featured club experience more akin to a concert than a standard night out at a dance club. On-the-fly remixes and compositions are just some of the capabilities of this new performance method.”

It feels like Paul van Dyk has been around forever, and it probably is because he actually has been. He is one of the first names I remember seeing on various mainstream radio remixes in the late nineties, and his live trance work stands by itself. The guy is really heavy on deep base that rocks your ears off your head, Chopper Read style. I imagine whatever tent van Dyk plays in will be super packed, so I might stay away from this one.

Likelyhood of Seeing at Coachella: Nah.
