Paul van Dyk - 02-Dec-07 02:15 AM
Paul van Dyk is the avatar of European trance, the living embodiment of everything trance has done right and wrong in fifteen years. From vital ascent, through popular glory, down into shameful corruption, his name has tracked the history of the genre. Rising star, god, sell-out: one wonders whether Paul van Dyk shares the fortune of trance, or the other way around. I've seen the man, but part of me wonders whether he actually exists. Could it be instead that he is a sort of spectral representation of the herd, taking the stochastic flow of trance and feeding it back in human form?
Whoop! Records - 07-Feb-04 08:03 AM
If Bedrock became the flagship of progressive house, then surely Whoop! has been its parallel in the world of progressive trance. Release after release has been hypnotic and melodic quality.
As the genre went into remission after about 2000, so did Whoop!, which continues to release though at a very subdued pace.
