Paul van Dyk is one of the biggest DJs in the world—perhaps one of music’s biggest brand names period—but surprisingly little is known about the man. Last week, Clubs/Nightlife contributor Dani Deahl caught up with the German beat-slinger before his set at the Congress Theater. There are a few surprises in store—such as van Dyk’s astute criticism of Radiohead’s free music business plan and his general dislike of the term trance. Play on.

Hi,
Radiohead were selfish and bla bla bla…all true…but the real point is another:
Radiohead in the past got millions and millions taking a very littile percentage from selling records…now they “sell” music at a very low rate, but they take almost all of that from themselves…they don’t have to share incomes with almost nobody…at the end, problably, they now take ear more money than before, without the need of a real record label…only distributor maybe…
…eventually Radiohead are not a band, they are the first “record label” of a new system….
Isn’it?
Cheers
William
