Van Dyk, for his part, is characteristically nonplussed by the attention.
"Djing ? making music, for me, is a very interactive experience," he said.
"It's knowing where the audience is and knowing where to take them to next. It's not about what position I am in the sales charts."
His most recent project, PVD DVD, will be available in February. A film crew followed Van Dyk on a world club tour, filming his sets in a dozen different cities. The music was recorded using new Dolby 5.1 surround sound and PVD DVD is the first electronic dance album, as far as Van Dyk knows, to be made using the technology.
Sunday night's show will start at 8pm with 2nd Floor resident DJs Cliff and Darryl Ho, followed by Electric Fan, a DJ/VJ combination accompanied by a live vocalist and keyboardist. Van Dyk goes on deck at around 11:30pm for a scheduled three-hour set and DJ Reason will spin revelers into early Monday morning. Tickets cost NT$1,000 at the door. Advance tickets are available for NT$900 at AMP Music and Clothing through tomorrow.
