Electronic Dance sounds in Napa

By Emmelia Georgiou

After numerous successful performances on our island, the highly acclaimed DJ superstar extraordinaire Paul Van Dyk is back for one night only! Join him as he spins the decks at none other than The Castle Club’s main arena in Ayia Napa. This will be an exclusive performance, full of unique electronic dance sounds.

Currently on a world tour, Van Dyk would surely not have missed out on coming to our island, since he has quite a big fan base here. He’ll be jetting in to Cyprus for this event next Saturday.

One of the first true megastar DJs, Van Dyk was the first artist to receive a Grammy Award nomination in the newly added category for Best Dance/Electronic album for his 2003 release Reflections. He was named the world’s number one DJ in both 2005 and 2006 – something very few DJs have managed. He was also the first-ever DJ to be anointed number one by Mix mag in 2005. By 2008, he had sold over three million albums worldwide.

Starting off as a trance producer, he quickly achieved popularity with the remix of Love Stimulation by Humate, but nowadays he no longer likes to think of his music as trance, but rather simply as electronic.

So, for any electronic music lovers or party-goers, join Van Dyk for a complete night full of dance, music and entertainment. What better way to kick off the summer party season?
