Somewhere where it won't rain:

Atacama Desert 2012!

(a place where it's never rained in recorded history)

[MrHellohel]

name of the song?

[SamTheElectroFreak]

Tiesto: God Sent Me Down To Make Trance Music

Paul van dyk: Huh? I didnt send anyone..

[killedbydesire]

@SamTheElectroFreak GET LOST

[DjTraneMusic]

legend !

[aggrosidoaggrofler]

Paul van dyke likes D'julz in his Line up ? Very impressed !

[caplja23]

Do anyone know where can I find the track playing in the backgound? It say it's Adam White - flowtation, but I can't find it anywhere. It sounds a bit like Vincent De Moor - Flowtation. It's maybe some remix of it. But I can't seem to find it...

[urbeeTRANCE]

@caplja23 I've been looking for it too but i think it has never been really released...if u do find it let me know.

[BlownUpProjects]

#1 dj in my opinion.. i still listen to his ministry of sound sessions from back in the day..best live sets ever..

and he looks a bit like daniel craig..

[navalverde12]

@djulemas91 you have a point, but from the perspective of a punter in america I don't like going to shows that allow under 21 because then you have to show ID every time you enter the fenced off bar area.

[kyd1192]

saw him in Chicago a few months ago front stage sickest experience ever

[dragon0362]

I just saw him last night in frankfurt. i was literally 10 feet from him. simply awesome night

[irojioqopiewjr]

Best DJ I have ever seen, hands down. The night I saw him he blew oakenfold out of the water.

[spifful]

@cali101101 adam white "flowtation" but you can't find it anywhere :(

[GVMann1]

My bro went to his concert in guatemala, fucking good ass stuff :D

[909beats]

He fucking rocks! And A sweet person. I mean that in a non gay way. Just a very nice guy. Some of these big guys have such big heads.

You can't help but like him.

[dieauserwalte]

( D : ) ...dude..everything you say is inevitably gay,shut up..such "big heads"??

[Burgerklauer]

/sign

[djsuperstarla]

Paul van Dyk is such a nice person I met him a couple of times and he was always very friendly.

[GVMann1]

Man i wish i could meet him.

and yeah he really really seems very very friendly :-)

[aoisakura]

dayyuuuumm...i want to meet him soooo bad...get him to autograph my forehead...and the rest of my belongings...and i would tell him he has the most BEAUTIFUL face in the worlddd..

[GVMann1]

Flowtation, i love that tuneee

[GVMann1]

[cHrRisToqH]

placebo, the band :)

[GVMann1]

Oh ok thanx :-)

[GVMann1]

PvD ROCKZZZZ!!!!!

[TastyBigirl]

yeah I totally agree. he is much much much much better looking :D

[Taramriel]

What a down to earth, wondeful, great LEGENDARY man! =D

[ccscu]

[GVMann1]

oh yeah, i don't know why i asked :P

a good song

[GVMann1]

Is that song released?? =/

[ccscu]

i don't know. i've tried to find it everywhere, but it's like a ghost. can't find a mention of it anywhere.

[caplja23]

What's the name of the 1st song?

[elrayodesantaana]

whats the name of this song i love it

[jprincesas]

dioss

[rickdlt77]

[zeroprimezone]

[gozohalfdog]

PVD "In Between" KIN AWESOME Album!!!!

[xCrookedSpiralx]

haha he really does look like cage and owen lol...PVD ownz it baby!!!!

[Adam13203]

That's what I was thinking. lol

[Taramriel]

he is much better looking than them! :D

[astagfaar]

ok guys, what's the name of the song that is being played in the first few minutes?

[DJQuartz91]

i bought IN BETWEEN fucking well good :D

[woripson]

8:54 wtf..

[mariocc77]

NO PILLS, PURE PVD ;)

[echoplexb]

@mariocc77 No E, Pure PvD. ;)

[ICANTRANCE4MYA]

@echoplexb PVD is by far the best representative & role model for electronic dance music. SO GLAD at least one dj stands up for what he believes in and is a good example. I don't see any other djs doing this, they are a bunch of cowards who need to stand up for the right things

[ICANTRANCE4MYA]

@mariocc77 yes!!!!PVD is the best for many reasons, one being his anti-drug stance. He's not a coward like the rest of these big name djs who are afraid to stand up and say something

[gusbakker]

great interview and dj. the volume of the music is very high comparing to the volume of the interview =S

[astaBahn]

thanx PvD the best DJ :)

[CanwllCorfe615]

woo hoo !! giuseppe ottaviani! i love ALL of his tracks

[nicgeldenhuys]

he looks a bit like nicholas cage...

[EBB47]

I know huh!

[quique2310]

i've always thought he looks way more like clive owen...

[nicgeldenhuys]

now that you mention him...yeah! i think cage + owen = van dyk...

[asatourianR]

out all the DJ, why does PVD not mention Tiesto as one of the DJ's he would like to see in a lineup. I'm just curious. He mentioned others who are not at Tiesto's level of success or fan popularity.

[CanwllCorfe615]

I think its just that most of the people he mentioned are more producers than DJs. cause John O Callaghan and John O Bir are really popular producers that pretty much all the biggest DJs play, but you never hear about them

[JMEF525]

great interview!! and PvD is awesome!!!

in between its just amazing and all his other cds as well!!!! we love you PvD!!!

[Ph3L1z14n0]

It's weird how he is german and yet his english accent is very british

[jblz21]

Also the reason why PVD mentions Sasha often is because Sasha is one of his favorite DJ's. he has mentioned this before....and why is that a shock? Sasha is awesome as well.

[jblz21]

for everyone who loves his "british accent" he's in fact German, and from Berlin. I've seen his live sets a few times in LA..one of the dopest! Tiesto is a great DJ, so is AVB....but PVD's just on another level IMO. He's been in the game for a very long time..he deserves the recognition!

[john8312008]

that's the truth !

[Nessaholiclover1]

wow, out of most average artists, I have to say that PvD is one of the most humble sincere,honest, and true characters of the music industry

[JulzJo]

i love u paul!!!:)

[MELTEGH]

dyk your a fucking legend..

[ericaeley]

Anyone know what this amazing song playing in the background is??? Please post your response!

[luisbetosolis]

adam white-flowtation it says iit in the credits

[lacucarachaseedorf]

Nooo! just don´t tell me tha´s all!!! XD Great vid man!

[astagfaar]

Does anyone know what the name of the track is that is playing in the background?

[olgaa1811]

Paul to najlepszy DJ na ziemi... pzd dla fanow..

[pw2bf]

I just cannot figure this out!!!

Whats so great with Mr. Sasha???

PVD is always recomendding his name.

[Sbowen18]

check out Airdrawndagger. probably one of the best electronic albums out there, period.

[astagfaar]

You should listen to some of Sasha's old stuff - He's made some great tracks. And his live sets are great.

[astagfaar]

You should listen to some of Sasha's old stuff - He's made some great tracks. And his live sets are great.

[Thafreshmaka]

Well, if you know anything about electronic music and have a wide but good sense of taste then you would know why he mentions his name. My advice is even if your not into his style you definitely should experience one of his sets and listen to his older albums.

[djvirah]

good but not perfect ha ? and u will never catch Tijs

[fredfour]

It's a trip seeing him in a laid-back interview setting cuz I'm so used to seeing him rock live. He seems like a cool down2earth guy.

[francoair89]

Paul van dyk the best dj

[PokePokeStab]

Enough with the zooming in already.

GO Paul Van Dyk!

[misty815210]

I wish i could meet PVD he rox my sox.I dream a little too much huh

[ingokunzi]

que de a huevo, que van dyk mensione a Francis Davila, en la pregunta de los dj's lineup

[cruhfilyer]

paul i hope ican met you some. paul is so cool i went on his webset it is the BEST BABY

[Agntx]

PvD is strictly from God!

[GVMann1]

PAUL U KICK MAJOR ASS!!!!!! UR AMAZING

[Dgadude]

The background music is credited as "Flowtation" by Adam White. I have spent nearly four months searching for this song with no luck whatsoever. Was the song improperly credited? Help! Thanks...

[emel2020]

PAUL VAN DYK like DJ

[brunoreyo]

la verdad el mejor dj. del mundo siempre sera tiesto palu van dyk solo es bueno

[kimwn7]

nice interview but as much as i love pvd i have to say the 'dream line-up' had so much uk trash innit it smells like pudding on haggis!i can't remember any german djs mentioned either (i.e. chris liebing that pvd loves!)a bit of GG suck-up was inevitable i guess! :p I|T|W|T

P.S. i know some people from US are really into electronic music, but 99% are so clueless they should be ban from commenting on EDM! :p

[djabvanbuuren21]

Tanto paul como armin son los mejores, ah tiesto lo dejo en tercer lugar ....above and beyond,kyau vs albert, ferry costen

[B0WJOB]

I like that Euro accent. sounds so cool :p

[GHETTOIETTO]

how stupid can you be.

just ltting you kno that tiesto is a producer aswell as a dj.

as stated in his documentary "another day at the office"

most of his produced tracks are now being released with black hole recordings.

anyone who says tiesto is not a producer, must have been living in a hole underground with osama for the last 23 years.

[Komnene777]

i'v never heard pvd talk either. i agree with mostly everything that nuttyguy said...love his music, love his videos, would love to plant one on him (by the way, i am the wife of komnene)

[nuttygayguy]

Wow I never got to hear what PVD actually sounded like before! Hearing his voice and lovely european accent makes me more smitten by him! ::sigh:: He's truely a beautiful man, w/ beautiful music, beautiful ideas, and beautiful videos. If I had the chance I'd kiss Paul!!

[woutizmoo]

he talks about trust that hes gonna put on a good show, fucked, he cut his set short at a gig i went to in perth last week, "4 hour set" became 3 hour set... gay

[shiki5876]

Oh shit. 4 hours became 3. Big fucking deal! Cope.

[bigboylive2008]

Yeah. I live in the US. IN LOUISIANA. there is no dance scene here. NO DJS COME HERE. Get over it.

[xavier00000]

que chido paul van dyk dj 1 del mundo para toda la vida de mexico,leon guanajauto isaac

[lupitaluev]

gracias a quien subio ese video lo amo o la amo.. no importa jeje es genial oir a mi novio jaja es que se me hace tannnn sexy lo amo es genial ademas de lindo es genial hermoso

[VagabundoR6]

That's why Paul Van Dyk is my # 1 Dj!

[alexruiz93]

he kinda has a british accent; that guy is the best, he rocks!!!!!!!!!

[justicefe04]

22 december, Bucharest, Romania... see you there \:D/

[greatpowerman]

Is not how u look like, is how u are in the inside and the personality how produce the music. Respekt to u Paul van dyke!

[Uncaught11Spirit]

I agree with u, this is really the first time to see PVD in an interview, i liked it, and he's such respectful humane Dj/producer..he doesn't count on acts and moves on stage as Tiesto, instead he focuses on making good mix party..

[vampiro664]

Hey metallicakicks.Metallica sux they sucked ever since Cliff died.They"re the biggest sellouts in metal.I'm probably old enough to be your daddy.I could take your ass to school as far as metal goes.Trance rules.PVD is an awsome human being.

[geko030]

how can you say what you gay bastard say

the man is one of the best

[nevrensel]

metallicakiksbutt,,

fuck you asshole,

your mom is an idiot,cuz i fucked her

[Metallicakicksbutt]

He is an idiot. His fans are idiots. The music he makes is for idiots. This is NOT music you morons.

[MysteriousLP]

That's because you're limited to heavy metal and hard rock.

Try and appreciate all genres of music - no need to be so stuck up

[warner003]

'Metallicakicksbutt' you are a dipshit!

[wotausername]

paul van dyk is 1 of d best djs, if u dont like trance music THEN DONT LISTEN 2 IT

[alexruiz93]

whatever white trash

[Jestin88]

He is the man!!!

[nikolasmaragos]

is pvd gay???

[zaheerhendricks]

nope, he's married

[MysteriousLP]

He has a wife.

[StrategicCreative]

She is called Natasha, is lovely and sings on the PVD video Together we will conquer, available at a Youtube near you :)

[martineme]

thxs for sharing this... pvd is a great guy and an amazing dj.

[CarboneDrac]

Paul van Dyk is Legend to me :P mahaha

[Dgadude]

I can't find the song they used for this vid anywhere...searched Flowtation by Adam White can't find it...help!?

[AthenaGM]

He's just soo lovely! hehe :)

AGM

[arminvanbuurendbest]

fuckin firts learn then talk now first thing they told me that armin now is getting in the world of production & i'm happy for that and remember this not every dj is a producer it is a very different thing there producer that doesn't dj.10qs.paul van dyk the best for ever.

[Tanybileca]

Tiesto is my favorite DJ but PVD is a class act.Much props

[arminvanbuurendbest]

curran 18 first learn then talk ok.Paul van Dyk is a dj and a producer like ferry corsten is & sasha but there are dj's like tiesto,armin etc the music is not made by them fullstop.i have the prove my leaner made a hit this year love is no possesion with kirsy hawkshaw & armin wanted to play the track & i'm gonna tell you that armin doesn't make his songs because he told him.go and learn & you will know there is a different thing between djing & producing it is an other thing.

[Tanybileca]

If AVB doesnt produce then who made the song Shivers,or Love You More,or Serenity,or Rush Hour,etc...

[Uncaught11Spirit]

yea u r totally right...hehehehe i think he's been in the cave with Osama bin laden for years :D:D

[navolo]

this is why PVD is the number 1

[AlexFictionFriction]

pvd is cool, but he always seems to be like someones dad,lol

[yokeren]

why compare.. just listen! on ibiza 2003 there where playing b2b 15 min... amazing!!

[meezooy2k]

what r u saying speak english "arminvanbuurendbest" if u dont know what ur talking about and if u dont have the facts then dont say anything

[arminvanbuurendbest]

Curran18 why when people vote for best producer tiesto & armin are not listed.lol.(a professional list).remember this not every dj is a produce & not every producer is a dj.10qs hope you learned something lol.Paul van Dyk t legend.another thing apul on stage plays whit 9 things.personal mixer,2cdj's,2 laptops,2 midi's & 2 vdj'd.thats why he is the bet.

[curran18]

i didn't learn anything because i can't read what you've typed.

Tiesto is a producer, you can't argue that. he has produced his own records and a few albums. you can't say "no" to that, it's the truth. i don't know any DJ's like your "learner" friend, but as far as i know, Tiesto and Armin make their own music.

[Tanybileca]

im sorry to burst your bubble Arminvan...whatever but Tiesto and AVB do produce their own music.what do u think the album Just Be by Tiesto is?

[GyariSan]

no they don't produce their own music. I thought it'd be more well known but seems like it's not. Nonetheless they are good DJ's but they are no producers. Paul Van Dyke is like Sasha, DJ's and produce. It's just different style.

[arminvanbuurendbest]

Curran18 first off all paul is my favourite dj 2nd armin & tiesto are not producers paul & ferry are producers i'm learning djing & production & my learner is a friend of armin and he told me armin & tiesto doesn't product music.For tiesto basement x something like that is the producer that makes him the songs like leathal industry.your not gonna tell me about djing and production.

[zenit001]

PAUL IS THE BEST OF BESTS!!! :)

I (l) van Dyk

[arminvanbuurendbest]

Paul van Dyk is the best dj in electronic music using from vinyls to cdj's now he is using cdj's,ableton,personal mixer for all his gigs xone 3d,serato scratch & a midi cintroller i'v never seen a dj using all those things for a set his amazing & just to tell that Paul van Dyk & Ferry corsten are dj's & producers Tiesto is only a dj so the music you listen is not his.Paul van Dyk is the number 1 in the world.

[curran18]

what do you mean Tiesto is only a DJ?? are you crazy?! Tiesto has been a producer for YEARS and spins his own music into his sets.

jesus...with a name like "arminvanbuurendbest", i would assume you would know your dance DJ's and producers...obviously not.

[arthuristhebest2]

i listen to PVD every day when i go off to school..NOTHING ELSE....politics of dancing 2 is old now but still great

[mtothejizzy]

By the way...Kudos to PVD for calling it "electronic music". Amen!!

Thanks for the upload!!

[mtothejizzy]

And Tiesto isn't even a player next to PVD, AVB, A&B, Ferry etc.

His production is terrible. Not to mention the whole ripping Adagio For Strings thing. Which sounded terrible anyway.

I'm not picking fights but lets get real about Trance people, yeah :-)

[mtothejizzy]

Originally quoted by Diego32akaD21 "There are better dj's than pvd, one example is sasha, but tiesto does not compare at all to him. go do your homework kid."

HAHAHAHAHA! Okay, it all comes down to opinion but if you really think Sasha is better than PVD (in terms of skill and showmanship etc) you are the one who needs to do some homework.

I've been mixing and producing in the Trance scene for ten years and I can tell you that PVD is WAY tighter than Sasha. And most others.

[dorito077]

haha lame, y r u ppl arguing here lol xD

[cplayuno]

FOR ALL OF YOU!!! stop talking shit. why the fuck are you arguing about who is the best dj. we all are entitled to our own personal opinion. pvd is my own personal favorite dj. if you dont agree with me THATS OK!!!! i wont argue with you. there are many great djs out there. INSTED OF ARGUING LETS ALL COME TOGETHER AND MAKE ELECTRONIC MUSIC BIGGER THAN WHAT IT IS!!!

[HappyLittleMuffin]

Cool....nice tune playing there too.

[DudasMiska]

Paul van Dyk is number one, the greatest Dj, thats where he deserves to be! WHOOO!

[timandro]

he is the best! no. 1 DJ = )

[GeoAl09]

ive been getting harcore into paul van dyk. and im diggin his stuff espcially his new album. it sounds amazing.

[shahmeansking]

pussy boy didnt mention tiesto once... wait till tiesto's new album drops its over for van dick.. not saying that hes not a good dj, he is nice... but no one disses the great tiesto... Tiesto 2008!!! its ova!!

[Diego32akaD21]

LOL. along with many other posts under this vid, you idiots have no idea what you are talking about. all you know is about the mainstream electronic dance music. yeah, it's not all called techno as a whole, it's called electronic music lol. Tiesto has been spinning garbage house for the last several years o not trance.

[bassbomb17]

tiesto's new cd is a compilation cd its just a mixe of different tracks by other artist

[curran18]

PvD and Tiesto have a DJ rivalry. they hardly EVER spin the same records on their sets and they just don't like each other.

[Diego32akaD21]

His sets get progressively worse as the years go on. On top of that, something your idiot ass probably didn't know is that he does not produce many of his tracks. he pays bt and other producers to make tracks like lethal industry, traffic, adagio for strings and so on. the son of a bitch didn't even give william orbit for originally composing adagio for strings lol. do not compare tiesto to pvd

[mekthx]

are you talking about pvd or tiesto??

[rnet]

Before calling others "idiots", make sure you're a little more adept in your musical knowledge. There is music outside of electronic... Adagio for Strings is a classical piece by Samuel Barber (Orbit's and Tiesto's versions are covers). Oh... and I'll take Tiesto's recent stuff over PvD's Reflections any day. PvD has gotten just as commercial or moreso than Tiesto in recent years. Neither has reached the Oakenfold-trash status.

[Diego32akaD21]

wtf are you talking about fan boy. that's what i am trying to say, he didnt' even pay tribute to samuel barber. ferry corsten made a mix of adagio for strings as well and he paid tribute to him. PVD's reflections? we are in 2007 now, how about you keep up?

[Diego32akaD21]

and never was i mentioning pvd's production which in part are a lot better either way, crush, other side, nothing but you just to name a few of his songs but more so i was talking about his techincal skill behind the booth. PVD has used everything from vinyl, cdjs to now abelton live for his sets.

[Diego32akaD21]

Tiesto's beatmatching, phrase matching and overall track selection for sets are garbage. and yeah pvd is a lot more commercial nowadays, but in his productions. go check out one of his sets at non commercial events, just a regular club. you won't hear tiesto spinning sam sharp, david forbes, thomas bronzwaaer like pvd does.

[Diego32akaD21]

There are better dj's than pvd, one example is sasha, but tiesto does not compare at all to him. go do your homework kid.

[lonel99]

really? where did u hear that?

[AdmiralRickhunter]

its Menno de yong erik!

[Artikulit]

Menno de Jong

[komsoken]

The world of dj; *paul van dyk *carl cox *armin van buuren *christopher lawrence *delerium *e-graig *rank1 *kai tracid *close cover *motorcycle *scooter *tiesto *marco-v *lizard

[djdorph]

does anybody knows the track id of background?

[maalit]

you are the best dj in the world.

the rest is mere details.

forever pvd

[LeeJody]

Not sure why they don't do that, its the same with their tracks. You won't find Tiesto playing anything from PVD's new album.

PVD was awesome at Global, some very technical stuff going on there if you get the chance to listen to the full set again!

[amrit06]

CUZ THEY SUCK FARTS

[tommy3000boy]

i wonder why big name djs ( not that the djs he mentioned are not big, but not as popular) dont mention or admire each others work such as tiesto talking about paul, or Armin about ATB and vice a versa?

[erik3414]

its because they r u comercial, he loves Dj's Like Sasha its an amazing Dj... one question.. U know menorion ?

[Diego32akaD21]

finally someone intelligent in this discussion.

[MrJudg3]

carl cox, sasha, eddie halliwell, john askew, john o'callaghan, paul oakenfold, judge jules, pete thong - he just mentioned "creme de la creme", armin and tiesto just don't fit his style.

he is, a god. pvd 4ever!
