The Superstar Dj for the first time in Cyprus! On the 18th of March 2005 at The Pavillion in Nicosia.
The final year of the millennium was an especially honor-filled one for international DJ and producer Paul Van Dyk.
First, the readers of the English magazine `DJ` voted Paul as the `Best Music Maker`, ahead of DJ legends Fatboy Slim (2) and Paul Oakenfold (3). Then at the 1999 Music Awards in London he received the `Best international DJ award`. The `Ministry of Sound` Magazine elected him as the `Best international DJ`, and his regular 6 hour set at `Gatecrasher` was voted as the `second best club night ever` by the readers of the English magazine `Muzik`.
His hit singles `Another Way` and `Tell me why` spent 10 weeks at number 1 in the German Dance - charts, and also reached number 13 & 7 in the UK Sales - charts. He continuously moved-up in `DJ Magazine`s` annual list of the `Top 100 DJs worldwide`, then in September 1999, `Mixmag` Magazine elected him as `Man of the year` and `Muzik Magazine` named him as `Leader of the Trance Nation`.
Paul van Dyk was voted `America`s Favorite DJ` for 2004 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). The dancestar awards are the Oscar Awards for the dance scene in the USA, so to win prizes at three categories is a great achievement for Paul.
In the category BEST INTERNATIONAL DJ he was nominated together with great artists like: Ferry Corsten, John Digweed, Richie Hawtin, Danny Howells, Sander Kleinenberg, Steve Lawler, Paul Oakenfold and Tiesto.
He also won the Mexican Oscar for his soundtrack in the film Zurdo in March 2004.
Today Paul`s touring diary is incredibly hectic with regular globetrotting stops at major venues in London, Mexico, New York and Singapore. Between all that, Berlin is always there and waiting -- if not for the interviews and local club dates, then for looking after his own label, recording studio and radio show (not to mention his friends and family as well!)
The prize for BEST USE OF MUSIC IN A TV COMMERCIAL won Paul together with Felix Da Housecat and DJ Colette for the sound behind the Motorola commercial.
Commercial Trance of the brilliant variety. Packaging only the purest of emotions, Paul van Dyk`s soul-awakening progressive trance uplifts clubland and critic`s circles alike. Having reached certifiable legendary status, this crowd-slaying Berliner keeps company with fellow crowned floor commanders BT, Paul Oakenfold and Sasha.
Exhaustive beats streak across mind-expanding mixes of heartfelt melodies and luminous celestial synths like a meteorite shower in the night sky. A masterful producer whose name is synonymous with all things progressive, Paul van Dyk is a must-have experience for any trance follower.
