Those who follow my posts know by now that I’m a bit of a closet fan of electronic music, well, maybe I’m not in the closet considering I’m telling you about it here. One of my favorite DJ/producer/artist dudes, Paul Van Dyk is coming back to Beijing tonight. Unlike last year, when I was sleep deprived and fighting off a headache (common for foreigners working here), I made sure to get extra liquids, extra sleep and extra vitamins. Does that sound like someone preparing for a sporting event? It should. Going to one of these shows usually involves 3 hours of continuous movement to a pounding, 140 beat per minute armageddon of sound.
Anyway, Paul Van Dyk is considered to be one of the top DJs in the world according to the The DJ List which lists him as #2 but he’s been in that stratosphere for so long that overall, he’s probably still considered the most commercially successful DJ in history.
