Paul Matthias , better known by his stage name Paul van Dyk born December 16, 1971
in Eisenhüttenstadt, Germany) is a Grammy Awardnominated artist, and one of the world's
leading electronic dance music DJs and record producers. He was named World No.1 DJ by DJ

A trance producer in the early-late 1990s, Paul quickly achieved popularity with his remix of
Love Stimulation by Humate in 1993, and his hit single, "For an Angel", but in recent times he History
Early life and musical beginning
Paul van Dyk grew up in East Berlin in a single parent household; his father left him and his
mother when he was four years old. While living there, he worked as broadcast technician and
began training to become a carpenter. Paul van Dyk claims his musical education came from
radio. Because where he grew up there were no record stores at which to buy music, he kept in
touch with the world beyond the Berlin Wall by secretly listening to the popular but forbidden
Western radio stations RIAS (Radio in the American Sector) and SFB and mixtapes occasionally
smuggled into the country and copied among school friends.
Shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall, van Dyk and his mother were given permission to
leave East Germany and moved to Hamburg to live with his aunt. In 1990, van Dyk moved back to
Berlin. His first appearance as a DJ was in the Tresor in March 1991. After several more
dates, he was given the chance to perform at Juergen Kramer's famous Dubmission parties in the
Turbine club, together with the highly popular young resident DJ Kid Paul. The shows were
called Paul vs. Paul. His mixing style drew the attention of Cosmic Baby and the two
collaborated as The Visions of Shiva. Their single "Perfect Day" was released by the renowned
Berlin independent label MFS (Masterminded For Success) Records, run by English ex-patriat
producer Mark Reeder and manager Torsten Jurk.
In February 1993, van Dyk and Kid Paul hosted an installment of the weekly three-hour "HR3
Clubnight" radio show perform for a nationwide audience on German radio. The second and final
Visions of Shiva single "How Much Can You Take?" was released, and van Dyk and Cosmic went
their separate musical ways. By late summer, Paul released his first DJ-mix compilation "X-Mix
-1 - the MFS Trip" and remixed Humate's trance hymn "Love Stimulation".
The growing popularity of the Dubmission parties forced venue changes, first to Cafe Moskau and
then into the larger E-Werk where van Dyk began hosting regular MFS nights.
