"The Age of Love" is the 1990 self-titled single of the Age of Love. The song is notable because it is often seen as the earliest example of trance music.
Released in 1990, some consider "The Age of Love" to be the first true trance single. Produced by Bruno Sanchioni and Giuseppe Cherchia ( G.Chierchia is the real name of Pino D'Angiò , famous italian artist and singer), with vocals by Karen Mulder "The Age of Love" was originally released by the Belgian label Diki Records. In 1992, the React label released Jam and Spoon's "Watch Out For Stella" remix, which gained more popularity than the original track and opened up opportunities for remixes by artists such as Paul Van Dyk and Brainbug. To this day, the track continues to be remixed and featured on compilations, and the historical significance of the original remains well known. As of February 2007, the online resource Discogs has cataloged a total of 73 known releases, and 346 appearances on compilations. Sanchioni and Cherchia never released another single under the moniker "Age of Love"; Sanchioni would continue to produce as part of the trance music act BBE.
Matthias Paul (pronounced [maˈtiːas ˈpaʊ̯l]), better known by his stage name Paul van Dyk (pronounced [fan ˈdʏk]; born 16 December 1971 in Eisenhüttenstadt, East Germany) is a German Grammy Award-winning DJ, record producer and musician. One of the first true superstar DJs, Paul 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. He was named the World's number one DJ in both 2005 and 2006, something only few DJs have ever achieved. He was the first ever DJ to be named number one by Mixmag in 2005. By 2008, he had sold over 3 million albums worldwide.
A trance producer starting in the early 1990s, Paul quickly achieved popularity with his remix of "Love Stimulation" by Humate on the record label MFS in 1993 and with his hit single "For an Angel" but, in recent times, he no longer likes to describe his music as trance, but rather simply as electronic music.
Paul van Dyk is currently the radio host of "Vonyc Sessions with Paul" on Dash Radio.
Early life and career
Early life and musical beginning
Paul van Dyk grew up in East Berlin in a single parent household; his father left him and his mother when he was four years old. While living there, he worked as a broadcast technician and began training to become a carpenter. Paul van Dyk claims his musical education came from radio. Where he grew up there were no record stores at which to buy music, so he kept in touch with the world beyond the Berlin Wall by secretly listening to the popular but forbidden Western radio stations RIAS (Radio in the American Sector) and SFB and mixtapes occasionally smuggled into the country and copied among school friends.
Shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall, van Dyk and his mother were given permission to leave East Germany and moved to Hamburg to live with his aunt. In 1990, van Dyk moved back to Berlin. His first appearance as a DJ was in the Tresor in March 1991. After several more dates, he was given the chance to perform at Andre'Hoche's (1991-1993) Dubmission parties in the Turbine club, together with the young resident DJ Kid Paul. The shows were called Paul vs. Paul. With Cosmic Baby, he collaborated as The Visions of Shiva. Their single "Perfect Day" was released by the Berlin independent label MFS (Masterminded For Success) Records, run by English ex-patriat producer Mark Reeder and manager Torsten Jurk.
In February 1993, van Dyk and Kid Paul hosted an installment of the weekly three-hour "HR3 Clubnight" radio show, performing for a nationwide audience on German radio. The second and final Visions of Shiva single "How Much Can You Take?" was released, and van Dyk and Cosmic went their separate musical ways. By late summer, Paul released his first DJ-mix compilation "X-Mix-1 – the MFS Trip" and remixed Humate's trance hymn "Love Stimulation".
