From early Berlin techno and house through to progressive rock, producer/DJ Paul van Dyk has soundtracked the German electronic dance scene ever since he moved to the city and began mixing in 1988. A native of a German town near Frankfurt, Paul van Dyk first heard house music on the radio during the mid-'80s. Soon he was experimenting with a rudimentary turntable setup, and after hitting Berlin, he gigged around the city. By 1991, he had appeared at the legendary Tresor club; he later set up his own E-Werk club, and debuted on record as The Visions of Shiva, with fellow trance wizard Cosmic Baby. He remixed for New Order, Humate, Sven Väth, and others, then signed to the German MFS Records for his first album, 1994's 45 RPM. By the midpoint of the 1990s, Paul van Dyk had become a globe-trotting DJ and remixer. His second album, Seven Ways to Scream Your Name, resulted in British and German dance chart entries for the singles "Beautiful Place," "Forbidden Fruit," and "Words." While both of his albums were issued in America during 1998, Paul van Dyk added a remix collection (3rd Perspective) and mix album (Vorsprung Dyk Technik: Remixes 92-98 (disc 1)) to his discography. 2000 saw the release of the single "Tell Me Why (The Riddle)," the album Out There And Back, and the EP Look Alive EP. As a follow-up to global club dates in support of those releases, Paul van Dyk released another EP, Columbia, in mid-2001. After a relatively quiet 2002 (on the recording front), Paul van Dyk returned with a mix-album/greatest-hits/DVD (Global Spirit), the soundtrack to a film (Hombre Sintetizador), and a new production album (Reflections). He released the second volume of his The Politics of Dancing Pt. 2 mix album series in 2005 and returned with another studio album, In Between Dreams, in 2007. The remix effort Hands On In Between followed a year later, and then live DJ gigs, remix work for others, and his own mix albums kept Paul van Dyk from releasing a studio effort for the next four years. He returned in 2012 with album The Evolution of Robin Thicke along with the single "Eternity" featuring Owl City frontman Adam Young, ~ John Bush, Rovi
