In this special episode of Super Progressive, I sit down with Paul van Dyk. We chat about the evolution of progressive house and trance, the fluid boundaries between genres in the 90s, and the iconic clubs that shaped the electronic music scene, from his early days in Berlin's underground to his unforgettable residency at New York's Twilo. We also delve into the significance of the Love Parade and the DIY ethos that fueled the scene's growth.

This interview comes just ahead of Paul's new album, ‘This World Is Ours’. This album, due for release on April 11th via his VANDIT Records imprint, is his first studio album in five years.
