Questions for Paul Van Dyk

Questions for Paul Van Dyk

Hi,

I'm putting together a 2 hour special show for the Galaxy Network about Paul Van Dyk, following his rise to #1 in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll.

The show will feature an hour of the best of his own material, followed by an exclusive hour mix by him.

I will also be doing a lengthy interview with him and as such am placing this post on a number of forums as I want to be able to throw some questions open to clubbers.

So quite simply, is there anything you've ever wanted to ask Paul Van Dyk?

I know this is a rather random post, but if you DO have anything, you can either PM me or reply to this.

The show will be broadcast on Christmas Eve, but as this is a time when many may not be near a radio, it will also be available on the Galaxy website for some time after that.

You could always play some Nik Kershaw.

"Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes even if it was for just one day, wouldn't it be good to be on your side, the grass in always greener over there."

Thank you for taking the time to give me all of these, please keep them coming and I'll ask as many as I physically can!!

Except perhaps the pob one...

would you say you are now a hard trance DJ ??

Cool. When will it be braodcast?

xmas eve as above sam

It's a top picture that one.

Ask him, does he feel that the Top100 poll really means something and would he prefer to be percieved as credible rather than popular? What's more important to him?

Probably Christmas Eve, but as not many people will be in then, it could be available on the Galaxy web site for some time after that.

I'm only guessing tho.

EDIT - Claire beat me to it!

would you ask him if he rigged the vote ?

Is it true him and Tiesto have fallen out, and thats the reason why they have hardly been playing at Cream in Ibiza togther?
