Paul Van Dyk
Paul van Dyk (Matthias Paul) hails from Eisenhüttenstadt, Germany, is a leading trance DJ and is currently the world's #1 DJ (as voted for by DJ mag readers) knocking Tiësto off the top spot which he'd held for three years running.
His first production, in collaboration with Cosmic Baby as Visions of Shiva, was released in 1992. Before this, he used to do mix-tapes for his friends. In 1993 Paul's first album was released, entitled 45RPM. He also remixed the song Humate – Love Stimulation. He also did some nightclub work at a Berlin nightclub called E-Werk.
By 1997, when he released his second album Seven Ways, he'd established himself a huge fanbase and was becoming quite a popular DJ. He released three singles off the album called Forbidden Fruit, Words and Seven Ways. Each one of them was a wide success in Britain and was played in many nightclubs.
One year later in 1998 he released his 45RPM album in the UK and it reached number 1. To mark the event, Paul released his 1998 E-Werk remix of For An Angel, the track is still widely played today and is considered a dance classic.
