Paul van Dyk may or may not be the “best” DJ in the world today (although he was given the title in 2005 and 2006 by DJ Magazine), but he’s definitely among the most famous. Since hitting the trance scene in the early ’90s, PvD’s groundbreaking mixes have had a major impact in the evolution of electronic music around the world. He has procured an arsenal of popular dance tracks over the last two decades, and recently released a greatest-hits album.

On Thursday, June 11, van Dyk kicks off his VOLUME Tour at Myst during the club’s weekly 18-and-over dance night.
