It’s been a while since I wrote my last blog post. Things have been crazy over here at RV…we’re working on some good stuff 
…more on all that later; for now, I want to mention an event that some of our blog readers may already know about….Paul van Dyk is going to be rocking it at Hudson River Park’s Pier 54 in New York City on August 16th! I don’t ordinarily blog about non-RV events, but I have a few reasons for writing this post…
First, I just want to give props to the Made Events crew. I can’t really remember when those guys started putting on big electronic music events, but they’re running the show now! Seriously, a lot of the hottest parties that I hear about these days are being put on by Made Events, and I’d say this is just another feather in their cap.
…now I can already hear a few rumblings amongst my fellow die-hard electronic music lovers out there…."but Eddie B, why are you blogging about PVD; that cat’s anything but underground…" In response to this comment, I’d first of all have to point out that Paul van Dyk has done more for electronic music than 1,000 of the average people who talk about how commercial he may be. I’d also have to say that I have a personal connection to the idea of catching Paul van Dyk in New York City. I remember hearing him play at Twilo in NYC back in the day…and let me assure you those were some EPIC nights!
Some of you may know that Paul has a ritual of playing in NYC in the summertime. He’s traditionally played in Central Park. A few years ago, I happened to be in NYC, and I went to the event to promote Resonant Vibes. For some reason, I had decided that it wasn’t worth buying a ticket because I wasn’t sure if my girlfriend was going to be into it, and she was with me. However, when we got to the event, I realized very quickly how big of a mistake I had made. I was outside the area where he was performing, but I could hear the tunes and hear the crowd responding. The NYC summer air was feeling right, and there was an electricity in the atmosphere…I really started kicking myself for not getting tickets…and then I started talking to scalpers, but they were charging more than I could afford to pay. That’s one event that I definitely regret missing.
Bottom Line: There’s something special about catching Paul van Dyk in New York City. I just wanted to write this post to let our blog readers know about his upcoming event

I heard PvD very often playing live (well, I’m German). He’s deffo one of the biggest out there, and a very professional one as well.
He earns respect, plus EVERY party with him always is something special.
