Frank's people brought Paul Van Dyk to Hamburg for an evening to which we were invited. None of us, while perhaps fans of electronic music, had much of an idea what to expect. I don't follow the DJ charts and the gang doesn't, either. The evening turned out to be quite nice, Paul's music is great (although somewhat repetative), and the only shame was the German crowd. I've blogged about this before, but it still amazes me how even when brought a world famous, world class DJ, the German crowd kind of wiggles around in an apathetic dance which resembles the contortions of a dying fish. Considering the fact that it was an invitation, my friends were with me, and some guy I barely knew brought me a glass of champagne, it was a great evening. I'd love to see Paul Van Dyk play in Tel Aviv - the Israelis know how to party hard (ref - Apoptygma Berzerk live in Tel Aviv 2002) and in a case like that I'd even be willing to forego the champagne.
