#5 - Paul van Dyk

Matthias Paul, better known by his stage name Paul van Dyk (born December 16, 1971 in Eisenhüttenstadt, Germany) is a Grammy Award–nominated progressive trance and techno artist. The word artist is a perfect fit because this guy's music is truly admirable in an artistic sense. Surprisingly enough he will NOT be attending UMF this year, but he'll be a SPACE Friday and Saturday Night, playing alongside big names like Sander van Doorn, Pete Tong, Tocadisco, Wally Lopez vs Zoo Brazil, Cedric Gervais, Antoine Clamaran, Alex Gaudino, Moguai, and Avicii just to name a few. A worthy alternative for going to Ultra considering tickets are $60 and most likely even more costly for afterhours. Anyway, heres the music:

Paul Van Dyk - Nothing But You (Original Club Mix) - oldie but good...ie

Paul Van Dyk - Nothing But You (Super8 & Tab Remix) - V

Paul Van Dyk - For An Angel 2009 (PVD 09 Mix)

Stay tuned because tomorrow we have a very special guest on the blog!

PEACE

#6 - Deadmau5

Canadian Joel Zimmerman is undoubtedly one of the hottest DJs out at the moment and is well deserving of headlining Ultra only a week from now on Saturday! His unique electro sounds have lit up the EDM world in the past couple years. I've seen him live three times and it seems like he just keeps getting better. Cannot wait for more productions to come from Deadmau5 and the mainstage is sure to be packed Saturday night at UMF 2010.

He is also the founder of the label Coldharbour Recordings. He has also released a couple singles and an album under the alias Dakota. Markus Schulz has got a very busy WMC schedule this year playing Tuesday night at Dream, Wednesday at the Sirius XM kick-off party at Gansevoort Beach, Friday at Nocturnal, and finally Saturday at the UMF Brazil Arena.

#9 - Gareth Emery

We're moving into single-digits, and next on the list is British trance DJ and producer Gareth Emery. He is well known for playing a diverse showcase of music both in his DJ sets and his podcast, and has often dismissed his categorization as a 'trance' DJ simply stating that he plays good records regardless of genre. You can see a bit of this variation come into effect in his productions as well. Some FIRE, just sayin...
