Favorite Quotes From Paul Van Dyk

“Since the early days of humankind, dancing was always an expression of feeling good, and making someone feel good is the main intention of DJ’ing. I don’t see the point of playing a record that makes people stand there, look at you and say, “Umm, very interesting.”  – Paul Van Dyk

“DJs should not be just pressing play with a USB stick or getting wasted and throwing cake. I don’t think [stunts like throwing cake] have anything to do with connecting with your audience. To me, it has no substantial creative value – it’s just a waste of food.” – Paul Van Dyk

“I don’t tell anyone what they should do (drugs). It’s like this music is so full of power and energy you don’t really need to take anything if you open up and let the music take you.” – Paul Van Dyk

“Trance had become a dirty word. Thanks to Ian Van Dahl, Lasgo, Flip ‘N’ Fill and DJ Sammy, a generation of kids has grown up thinking trance is the shittiest music since country and western.” – Paul Van Dyk
