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 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 Modeβs βMartyrβ, Britney Spearsβ βGimmy moreβ and Justin Timberlakeβs βWhat Goes Around.... Comes Aroundβ.
PvD received a Grammy nomination in 2005 for Best Dance/Electronic Album for his original album Reflections β 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, televisionβs Entertainment Tonight and MTVβs Cribs, and international ad campaigns for Motorola, HBO, Land Rover, Ski Vail and most recently for Jeep. This year he won the International Dance Music Award (IDMA) for Best Euro DJ.
Previously, PvD won 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 βAmericaβs Favorite DJβ 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 βBest International DJ Awardβ at the 1999 Music Awards in London, was named "Best International DJ" by Ministry of Sound Magazine, and Mixmag elected him as βMan of the Yearβ.
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 childrenβs charity in Indiaβs Mumbai, and his partnership scheme with the German Red Cross to help poor 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 Americaβs youth to sign up to vote in the presidential election. In 2006 he received Berlinβs Medal of Honor (Landesverdienstorden) in recognition of his work with Ruckenwind, a charity organization he founded dedicated to helping poor children in Berlin. He joins a distinguished list of arts and political establishment figures with this honor.
Born in EisenhΓΌttenstadt, 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 β he wanted to create a different, more unique sound. In the early 1990βs Paul van Dyk was spinning regularly at various clubs in Berlin before releasing his first album 45 RPM in 1994. But it wasnβt until the release of his second album Seven Ways which catapulted him into the Top 100, followed by the release of his hit single βFor An Angel,β 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 β a DVD which illustrates his own experiences traveling the world.
Paul van Dyk created the internet radio station VONYC.com focused on the electronic dance scene.
Paul van Dykβs 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. In the little time remaining between all the travel, Paul van Dyk resides in Berlin where he has his own radio show βPaul van Dykβs VONYC Sessionsβ which airs weekly on Area 33 on Sirius Radio on Thursday nights at 6PM ET (and rebroadcasts Saturdays at 8PM ET and Tuesdays at Midnight ET) and Soundgarden which airs every Saturday 2pm β 4pm (EST) on Fritz radio and over the internet (www.fritz.de).

Val Leon
My heart was way too lonely
If you saw it closely, you'd see the scars, oh yeah
But all the things you showed me
Make me feel so holy, that's what you are
And I feel it coming, you're in my, my mind
Everything that we're doing
Feels right, oh, I love the way that you're moving
You're my limelight, I don't wanna lose you right now
Lose you right now
Take me in your arms, take me in your arms
Don't let go, no, just hold me again
Take me in your arms, take me in your arms
'Cause you know I feel whole on your skin
Take me in your arms
Take me in your arms
Take me in your arms
You're taking all my feelings
Wide awake and dreaming, I found it all, oh yeah
I'm living in the moment
With you's where my home is, can't get enough
And I feel it coming, you're in my, my mind
Everything that we're doing
Feels right, oh, I love the way that you're moving
You're my limelight, I don't wanna lose you right now
Lose you right now

When I read Paul van Dyk and "for an Angel", I was already thrilled. After the first notes, I felt 20 years younger. What a great combo and heavily sung by Nico. Mega song.
