Lights, Camera, Action! – Paul van Dyk Talks New Video & Stage Set

It’s been two years since I last interviewed German dance mogul Paul van Dyk and in that time, he’s released his best of album, developed a new tour with intricate stage and light design to compliment his DJing and has his sixth studio album coming out called Evolution. You get the sense that he’s mentally a shark – never able to stop swimming. Then again, it’s this undying passion and drive that’s earned him everything from a Grammy nomination to consistent upper rankings in DJ Mag’s top 100 list. We were able to snag some time with him to chat about conceptualizing the new tour and album, dubstep vs. moombahton and the moment he felt like he made it. …MORE

Now Karl and Rick have revealed some further info about the fall release, titled Barking, with a track list that features guest spots by some of dance music’s most revered names, including reborn minimalist Dubfire, trance titan Paul van Dyk and d’n'bsters High Contrast.

Perry Farrell interview

Perry Farrell, the ‘godfather’ of alt-rock, might soon have a new moniker to honor his strides in…electronic music? Yes, Farrell’s still a part of Satellite Party and Jane’s Addiction, but he’s also integrated a sizeable DJ area at Lollapalooza, performed live with Paul Van Dyk and Moby, played at Cochella under DJ Peretz and has a live electro act with wife Etty Farrell. While it seems surreal to chat blogs and The Bloody Beetroots with a man who’s famous for an extensive rock-based career, make no mistake about it, Farrell knows what he’s talking about. In fact, with every passing day, he’s becoming increasingly entrenched in the dance scene and collaborating with some of the biggest names in the business.
