Our podcast this month is coming in two parts, with a full radio show of the summer's music coming up in a couple of weeks. Before that though we've got an extended set from Paul Van Dyk.
He takes a headline turn at Digital Society's monstrous trance fest when they turn eight on Friday 6th March at the Leeds 02 Academy (full details here), joined by fellow trance behemoths Ferry Corsten and Aly & Fila (who we also spoke to ahead of the show).
PVD and Aly & Fila recently collaborated on the track 'Guardian' alongside vocalist Sue McLaren (the mix's opening track), and it's already shaping up to be one of the biggest hits of the year. Elsewhere the mix features Paul Oakenfold, Giuseppe Ottiavani and Jordan Suckley, and is classic driving trance in PVD's trademark fashion.
