[@jangaal6187]

its 2024 and im back here for my dose of pure trance.

[@Substack_chickenfeed]

I visit this page about once every six months. Always makes me happy.

[@bensharpe370]

Same 👍💎

[@alanaitken8487]

I've listened to this mix in that way since I was about 13 years old, 24 years ago, never get tired of listening to it!

[@woduk]

I’ve just remembered about this one. Having a listen, pvd used to play this fast back then though to how it’s played these days

[@DiegoRodriguez-bz5bm]

20 years ago almost, and still sounds better than many things that DJs do today... Simply amazing! PvD legend!

[@tomassakalauskas1167]

Now 20 years ago... and still sounds better

[@Trancelebration]

Hell yea ! Vibe of this set is timeless.

[@deanconway9177]

I totally agree there is a few new tunes that leak through but as a dj I was spoilt for choice back then

[@pantera4521]

Today is 24 years later and is better then most today ' s mixes ! PVD for ever!😁

[@1LittleTinker]

This is one of the best sets from 97-2000 era of trance, no questions. With a crowd like that, so up for it on the beech playing fast was the right way to go, welcome to the dance!

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

...Despite being a 25-minute mix.

[@Ercolone69]

I was there that evening at café mambo! Such a great incredible holiday! Nearly 20 years! Still love trance as then!

[@johnmac2849]

Was myself.My mate forwarded me on this,a few months back.Crazy how the time has flown bye.Mite head over for my 50th in a few years😂.Super memories.Those were the days we left pacha,amnesia at 7,8 am,and headed to space to open at 8/9am to dance to tunes all day.Dont think thats allowed now🙄.

[@jaymansbridge6131]

Top afternoon mate I was also there cracking tunes, best year of my life 99 🙌🙌

[@TheTrancero]

Pfffff, wish I was there Bro,youre so lucky to witness this

[@paulcheesley4727]

One of my all time favourite sets. Timeless.

[@Trancelebration]

Same here bud !

[@aisey100]

I feel sorry for Kids today who have David Guetta and Calvin Harris.

[@snapple6661]

David Guetta and Calvin Harris suck so much, I agree ;)

[@Artur91609]

Cheers for him !!! :D classic !!! Too this day i'll back to this mix !!! Dedicated for wolrd biggest DJ's and fans ... mr Van Dyk fire it up

[@captinweestain526]

You forgot Tiesto, complete sellouts

[@G2VKR]

Fortunately Paul van dyk still exist :) While tiesto gave up

[@VoiceOfThe]

Yeah... the Radio 1 Ibiza weekend's of today, aren't a patch on what they were, through the 90's. Sorry kids, but, you missed out big time. Okay, yes they're on a much bigger scale now than yesteryear, in regards to attendance and location, but the actual quality of the music and general atmosphere/vibe has suffered as a result. In many ways, the modern day Ibiza has become a victim of its own success. The 'masses' spoiled it.

[@Joeasia1981]

01. Paul van Dyk - Another Way (Unreleased Demo Mix) 02. Paul van Dyk - Avenue 03. Thrillseekers - Synaesthesia (En Motion Mix) 04. Des Mitchell - Welcome To The Dance (Part 2) 05. Paul van Dyk - For An Angel (E-Werk Club Mix)

[@jaymansbridge6131]

I was there 🕺🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@dazton]

That mix between Des Mitchell and For an Angel is just amazing, makes you want to go mad raving! 1999 was the year!!!

[@briangrant4797]

Real time.no fancy phones.no selfies. The tunes took us there.90,s were class.love.

[@gazsandall3421]

Thank you Jean Micheal Jarre for starting all this from the 80's! Inspirational :D

[@anyerquantum.nuclearrites]

best 25 min dj set i've ever heard, 22 years since that day and it and still blows my mind!!!

[@djlahey3]

Those '99 sets from guys like Van Dyk, Armin, Tiesto and Paul Oakenfold are just too epic. So classic. That year was the peak of Trance music. Sure, the production quality wasn't as high as it is now, but there was a freshness to the sound that just isn't matched nowadays.

[@Tranceport913]

Stuff out today doesn't even come remotely close to that era, DJ's and sound. Was absolutely perfection. Just glad I got to live during it and can still enjoy the music today through videos like these and uploaded/streaming sets as well as my collection of CD's and some vinyl.

[@freespirit4706]

I could cry. Best times ever!

[@HUNTER-KILLER.]

*¡¡¡By far!!! This is the best Trance mix, and an unmissable piece for all fans of this musical genre.* 😉💪🏻💪🏻

[@johnnnydi]

Best Set Ever, I Can't explain that feeling!!! Original Trance!!!!!!!!!

[@richiebanks5344]

Remember this clear as day, was standing right in front of the decks with a couple of my mates when PVD was on. I still even remember him puting the For an Angel vinyl on to the turntables at the end. Great Ibiza memories :)

[@spiritdancer1699]

+richie banks See i was pretty mangled and don't remember that clearly. Was this friday after cream @ amnesia on the thursday? (the night the ice explosion machine fucked up)either way i was at all radio 1 stuff that week. I was Fan Man cooling many hot people with my fan. I do however remember for an angel-one of my favourite tracks of all time. In fact i've just heard the judge say friday i didn't think it was essential mix that was from money penny's if i remember correctly. And yeah was deffo totally mangled still from thursday at cream and a little friday night boost aswell.

[@monkeyharris943]

+richie banks respect mate! awesome anecdote

[@SHEBC9999]

I would have killed to have been there.... Its whats dreams are made of...

[@spiritdancer1699]

William Kozma It was a real good week, cream was epic on the thursday, judge jules john kelly, tall paul, and Paul van dyk fuckin get in there

[@briangrant4797]

I flew home that thursday nite.was at work that friday nite listenin to paul,shouldve fuckin stayed on.always regret that.bot had a brilliant time.xx

[@realmusic99]

music was so much better in the 90's this guy is a fucking legend, if not GOD

[@ntm192010]

What a legendary and full power set. Brings back the golden era of Trance!

[@frostdude1]

Easily the greatest mini mix of all time! So much energy, and the tracks flow seamlessly. I remember hearing this in 2002, and it sounds just as fresh today. PVD. Pete Tong. Radio 1. Ibiza. You can't ask for more

[@SquirrlyJ]

frostdude1 I have been looking for this mix for 17 years man i fucking feel you!!!

[@nycalien]

20 years later and still the the mix to beat!

[@lucasdansie]

this mix changed my life i used to listen to what i thought was trance but this mix with a little mdma and my life was changed amazing artist amazing flow and vibe really sends you to an amazing place one love

[@tomm5785]

Funny how that works

[@Hyri]

Got it on tape, bluee TDK

[@JohnSmith-pi1hs]

TDK 120's used to be my saviour! So many in the loft...

[@monkeyharris943]

this is just a perfect mini set. absolutely perfect.

[@SuperR160]

Oh my days "For An Angel" is off the scale!!! EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!!!!!!

[@realmusic99]

An epic trip down memory lane, just loved this year 1999

[@playoptu]

Never been to Ibiza. Never Had the chance to see Paul live. Still trying. This set has been one of my favourites for a long time. Still gives me the chills. Cheers Paul Van Dyk!

[@harrymoore240]

almost all the tunes on here ended up being classics

the best trance minimix out there!

[@rhellwig]

2021 uffff....

[@Eriadel]

Exactly. His best mix ever. I'm comming back to this mix from time to time! Epic!

[@Lordbigv]

Have you been back recently?

[@muhammadkasu9905]

Classic set!!! Love this!!! Pvd legend , best dj ever! Todays crap doesnt come close to this... Mole, south africa

[@SHEBC9999]

Once of the best sets ever...

[@adambomb8841]

The best mix I ever heard can't believe I came across this. I once had this mix years ago, lent it to a friend and he lost it, haven't heard this mix since. Such a gem, and this is why I love trance.

[@mpassosbel]

there are bookmarks in the history of trance music. this is one of them. i think the most important.

[@SquirrlyJ]

Márcio Passos no doubt

[@BriteEyezz2011]

I wish I was at that party. Everything about this set makes me feel amazing.

[@Tranquiltize]

Pretty standard speed for PVD back then, van Dyk was known for playing fast as most of the Berlin DJ's. Recorded speeds for trance then were 133 at the slower end, then 136 more common usually UK producers, then 140 van dyk, blank + jones, signum etc. But remember when djing the records were played at the higher end of the pitch scale on the technics 1210 which had +8% pitch maximum. So van dyk would have his records between +5 and +8 per cent of 140 which equals between 147 to 151 bpm.

[@maniniscapes1936]

This helps explain my 20+ year obsession.

[@martingopher]

I thought it was only me, 13 years ago listening to this over and over again. Now, looking at all the comments, wow, I think this is the best trance mix ever. 13 years of my life has vanished, this will always be there. Thanks for uploading this.

[@donymia7769]

What an imagine music thnks Paul van Dyk for this awesome music......

[@lucasdansie]

paul van dyk mix with headphones on pinging some of the best memories ever and heres to many more....

[@Mohg45]

Who ever posted this, I thank you whole heartedly. I heard this on Radio1 when it was first broadcast and have looked for it ever since. I had it on my I-Pod but it lacked the last few vital minutes, ending at for an angel. Ever time I listen to it sends me back to good old days when you never left the house on a Friday night until Pete Tong had finished and often didn't return home until Monday morning..... Even pushing 40, it still makes me want to do "Big Fish Little Fish Cardboard Box" :O)

[@Dixers]

remember listing to this on the balcony he rocked it bigtime that night was messy

[@SuperR160]

This is AMAZING!!! I lived in sheffield from 98-02 and i attended GC every wknd...PVD's 6hr sets were off the scale, EPIC times and EPIC memories!!! Wish i could jump into the crowd!!! saw Des Mitchell a few times in 99 'welcome to the dance' BOOOOOM iwabwy :-) ibiza @ its very best here!!!

[@davehess8702]

1993 - 2006 best era, then it went downhill. RIP Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, Cosmic Gate, Darude, Paul Oakenfold, ETC

[@mromegajohn]

I'd say cosmic gate are making better stuff in the last few years than back then. The rest I agree with though

[@peterrota]

+MrOmega lol, no

[@coryhammond1475]

Dave Hess total banging tunes and from my era of clubbing never forget Ibiza ❤️

[@fergalmoyles4124]

cory hammond the free pvd cd in muzik magazine from 1999 is similar to this.. Proper pounders from the golden era is right !

[@andiciftja7399]

Agree

[@HCMusicAlliance]

Nice one, unfortunately I would have been about 4 years old at the time so was unable to do so! Luckily I was able to hear this mix a few years later after finding it on good old WinMX!

[@broxi16]

Dude this is where it all began and what made Ibiza famous....Absolutely WKD set of tunes and mixing to send shivers down your spine!! Amen to the PVD....Always has and always will be if not the, one of the WORLDS BEST DJ's.....Fantastic upload.....

[@adambomb8841]

Anyone still listening to this in 2022???

[@bensharpe370]

Fuckin amazing

[@turdusmerula2689]

And yes, can't feel the same about trance music today..simply different feeling, different flow...Southside Spinners- Luvstruck, Baleric Bill - Destination Sunshine, The Thrillseekers - Synesthesia, Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar, CRW - I Feel Love, Des Mitchell - Welcome To The Dance, System 8 - Play It Rough, DJ Digress - Baila Para Mi, William Orbit's - Barbers Adagio For Strings or Push - Universal Nation...only to name some of them are already part of the best Trance hits ever.

[@Lubohrivnak]

20 years anniversary of my trance era. This mix brought me to trance and today, Paul is in my city for a gig. Cheers. Lets celebrate.😉

[@MrCrackkkkkkk]

this brings back so many memories- so nostalgic listening to this.. this recording is what made me fall in love with trance when i was 14 years old.. paul van dyk still is and always will be my favorite artist.

[@JamesColemanDesign]

I used to berate not going to Ibiza in the early 90's. My first time was 1999 at the age of 25 and I had the time of my life. For me personally the music was spot on at this time.So much so I returned 4 more times. Yes I'm now 38 and sitting here listening to this sipping a JD and enjoying it just like I did back then!.

[@ianusb]

This is sending shivers down my spine absolutely amazing and making me ask myself why I've left it 13 years since I went to Ibiza

[@STEAMcry]

Golden age of trance, perfect. I really do remember this set. Well done.

[@lonewanderer2455]

Still the best set ever. Jaw is dancing even i didn't take anything funny 👌😁❤️

[@DJSpindoctor2010]

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT I WISH I WAS THERE

[@canoestothemoon]

Like many others, I've had copies of this over the years, originally got it off of the ORIGINAL Napster and it still leaves me speechless whenever I listen to it. Greatest trance set in the the history of trance. Thanx for sharing mate!

[@Dawho99]

Daaamn, pvd bald now wtf

[@rubetubeable]

Incredible..what a time and what a fuckin year! PVD on the 1210s.. Absolutely Tearing the place to pieces!

[@ug3469]

You are still a legend! 2022

[@craigberger2910]

got to be one best sets possibly he done.!! amazing. just missing binary finary and nothing but you to make it heaven!!!!!

[@gr8hiren]

Nothing But You was released in 2003. And he original was made by Jemstock & Henings. PVD just bought the rights and mastered it/made it better/more trancey. You will also see pvd credits both of them in the title of track.

[@craigberger2910]

i never said he invented it like . lol. but its a pvd classic and everyone knows it ;)

[@quantumdaydreams8545]

this is probably one of the most spaced out conversations I ever saw. 3 years since your original comment lol

[@Lordbigv]

I still have this on tape that I recorded on my awia stereo that night. Soooooooooooooooo good.

[@FarstreetD]

Do you have the whole PVD set? If so, put it on KZbin please!

[@ARMENGOLES]

WOOOOOOW !!!! SPECTACULAR SET!!!!

[@orbojunglist]

even i stopped listening to dnb in the late 90's....radio had some serious house/dance shows going on back then! (i got back on the dnb though :P)

[@VoiceOfThe]

I've either listened or been present in Ibiza, to everyone of these Radio 1 Ibiza weekend's, since their inception in 1995. What strikes me most, is, in these earlier broadcasts you can hear genuine excitement, elation and euphoria from Pete Tong, whenever he speaks. In recent years he's sounded so 'forced'.

[@spiritdancer1699]

+vinyldude1210 I went to 95-2001 Probably because back int the day we all loved it much much more , the crowds were better and our hearts were really into the scene and the music. And either more did them or our chems were much better.

[@VoiceOfThe]

+Daniel Ellis (Trance 140) It was never really about the drugs for me. It was all about the music - individual tunes I'd go out to specifically hear in a DJ set. The music from around that period was just amazing.

[@spiritdancer1699]

vinyldude1210 that's fair enough but i did. I think the music was pretty bouncy back then. I bought loads of those great tracks back then

[@chattyman2711]

This was almost 20 years ago mind, I don't think Pete Tong gets the same buzz today because he must feel a bit like a kids entertainer as the age gap between him and the kids in the crowd is now absolutley massive, in clubs and on radio - 3 generations almost. Also he is at the end of his radio broadcasting career, he must be conscious of that, he has had an amazing run, but Radio1 sacks everyone in the end sadly..as they desperately try and stay "relevant".

[@Lubohrivnak]

This is the mix which started my trance journey 20 y ago....♥️. Thanks Paul. !

[@andykillian-louis6940]

same here!

[@DjDannyPOfficial]

Crazy tunes... would of loved to of been there! so much energy!!

[@ThePTcy]

Now THIS is music!!! Essential! The good 'ol days-where's the time machine? Lol

[@TrulyUniqueOne]

One thing more than anything that describes Paul van dyk...... FLOW

[@soundssimple1]

been going to Mambo every year for the last 15 and have never witnessed a half hour set to match this, absolutele lesson in how to build and execute trance heaven, a sea of three thousand people on the beach...memories ., ah the good old days !

[@natix_643]

This is Paul's best mix ever (closely followed by Mayday 2000).

[@lucid6067]

This is the golden era of trance music. Today’s shit sucks.

[@maniniscapes1936]

💔

[@adamalada1]

best years of my life looking back at them - so happy i was part of that generation

[@grzegorz__]

"we're now about ... 3000 people on the beach" :)

[@MrSnorkelsucker]

Welcome to the f&+king dance indeed. This man is from the Gods - up there with the finest masters of their craft back in the day. So much energy wound into such a short space of time with this mix. Epic. \o/

[@ghimpler]

It keeps you nodding your head and fist bumping the whole time, great music.

[@LACIIIIIIIIIIIKA]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[@Tenchy318ti]

I miss Ibiza take my life now for just one more min back there !! Ibiza forever

[@briangrant4797]

Great days!!!!Memories#÷÷

[@dazton]

Wow!!!! I went to Ibiza for the first time in 2001, and I downloaded a load of PVD and Ferry Corsten sets before I went out there, I used to love trance so much. I remember listening to this and think it sounds like the best place in the world, the crowd are going absolutely mental!!!!!! Can imagine it was packed!! Love when he drops Welcome To The Dance and when people hear For An Angel you can just feel the anticipation, people actually raving hard outside Mambo. For only 25 mins it's the be

[@WebFloorPlans]

His best mix ever. I downloaded this years ago off of Kazaa and I still listen to it.

[@bailey200310]

Always looked forward to these mixes @ 2am touching down on the record button. Definitely one of the best mixes recorded. 👌 Pvd✌️

[@lewdog2000]

Yeah I burned this to cd back in 2001. Still have it and still listen to it often. One of his best mixes!!! I agree that trance has changed and will never be what it was back then! I consider myself fortunate to have experienced that era in my prime party-days(i was 21 then)!!!

[@robertcheevers5094]

Takes me right back to the good old days. Epic times, love this set and can stil remember it getting broadcast live and taping it

[@briangrant4797]

Taped it liked u.those were the days.lovexxx

[@imperia777]

that's what i call awesome music for iziba party, not today's crap.

[@lilek2011]

[@SFledz]

Welcome to the dance \o/

[@Queteimporta_1733]

¿Quien en 2020? pa'ser compas :D

[@tulle5586]

Wow. I thought I would never be able hear this again. I listened to this every night as I went to sleep through high school and into university. I listened to this short mix until the disc was inoperable. This cut even has the blip at 40 seconds where Pete Tong's intro skips. I have seen a lot of the most famous artists from the last twenty years, and few live experiences top this recording.

[@tomm5785]

This is a ripper. aisey you're spot on!

[@markjohnston6310]

great mix from paul van dyk an i love the picture it has pure euphoria on it my favourite album of 2000

[@deanconway9177]

Banging brings back so many memories 👍😂😂

[@RockPaperDynamite]

99'...what a great year.

[@Adam-jq6xl]

I originally downloaded it via Napster, and it's still better than any of the shit played out there today. Fantastic set.

[@turdusmerula2689]

Nice session featuring some two of the more astonishing trance hits ever ('Welcome To The Dance' and 'Synesthesia'). The song starting at 22:12 is one of Van Dyk's best, called 'For An Angel'

[@Ercolone69]

These mixes are epic as PVD that year used this combination many times! Such great memories raving!!!!!

[@briangrant4797]

Paul dropin 4 a Angle.timeless.

[@maniniscapes1936]

MEMORIES...

[@SergioHernandez-vj9tp]

[@Dawho99]

Epic! Use to like deep dish and prog back around 2001, but this set was epic, this music will mess with ur emotions… fuck
