Matthias Paul (German pronunciation: [maˈtiːas ˈpaʊ̯l]; born 16 December 1971),[2][3] known professionally as Paul van Dyk (German: [ˈpaʊ̯l fan ˈdʏk]) is a German DJ, record producer and musician. Van Dyk was the first artist to receive a Grammy Award nomination in the newly added category of Best Dance/Electronic album for his 2003 release Reflections.[4][5] He was the first DJ to be named number one by Mixmag in 2005. By 2008, he had sold over 3 million albums worldwide.[6]

A trance producer starting in the early 1990s, van Dyk quickly achieved popularity with his remix of "Love Stimulation" by Humate on the record label MFS in 1993[7] and with his hit single "For an Angel". Van Dyk is an avid trance lover to this day.[8] He indicated in an interview that he ended up giving himself the Belgian-sounding stage name because he used to incorporate many Belgian dance records into his DJ sets in the early 1990s.[9]

Van Dyk is currently the host of "Vonyc Sessions with Paul" on Dash Radio.[10]
