EXCLUSIVE: DJ Paul Van Dyk Calls Out Madonna On Alleged Drug Statements

Paul Van Dyk, 40, the German Superstar DJ and electronica pioneer, is speaking out against Madonna’s alleged drug references at Miami’s Ultra Music Festival last Spring. “How many people in this crowd have seen Molly?” asked Madonna as she took to the stage, presumably referring to the slang term for MDMA, an active chemical found in the rave fave drug ecstasy.
Madonna was promoting her new album, MDNA, curiously reminiscent of MDMA, and was accused of using drug references to make herself relevant to the electronic dance music (EDM) crowd. “For a long time, people related the use of illegal substances directly with people who listen to electronic music. It was quite hard for those artists to show that we are not drug addicts; we are artists and we make music,” Van Dyk told Uinterview in an exclusive interview. “So it’s off-track if one of the biggest pop icons of the eighties and nineties suddenly jumps on stage ten years after and calls out for the use of ecstasy. I don’t support that.”
Van Dyk released his sixth studio album, Evolution, this April, in collaboration with Owl City's Adam Young.

I'll take my Widespread Panic songs with drug references and they can just keep their denial and awful knob pusher noise.

> So it’s off-track if one of the biggest pop icons of the eighties and nineties suddenly jumps on stage ten years after and calls out for the use of ecstasy. I think that's exactly spot-on. Quite a pathetic move by MaDonMA.

^^^The mouse came out and said the same shit ultra weekend.
They are both retarded if they think they matter.
These faggots decided to be dj's and hang around ravers, then they turn around and act like it shouldn't have anything to do with drugs.
The scene doesn't revolve around the DJ's. The rave world would be exactly the same if neither guy were born, and someone else would be doing the same as them.
They are all replaceable. And the mouse said himself, they are NOT performers, its all about production then pressing play; so who they fuck are you to bitch about drug use? Its not my fault you want to sit in the studio all week when I want to go safely enjoy myself with non-violent ravers.
Miami hip-hop weekend saw almost 500 people arrested, Ultra weekend had the same turn out and only ~70-ish arrests (most non-violent). I'm happy to be around the drug users.

MDMA is what makes people enjoy watching someone getting up on stage and pressing play. That version of "art" is forever married to the rave scene.

I love how rusko has the exact opposite stance http://www.inthemix.com.au/news/intl/53348/Rusko_on_his_fckload_of_drugs_habit_and_why_Deadmau5_is_still_a_dck Although he is a little extreme about it, i'd rather see people like him who don't play dumb to what most of the people in the edm scene do than this ignorant deadmau5 and pvd shit (pvd is an amazing producer btw)
and about the "button pushing", youre completely right...but its.not ALL the djs who do it...A-Trak wrote a really interesting piece about it, i'd post a link but I'm on my phone. Shouldnt be too hard to find with google

These idiots owe their entire career to mdma and psychs as the only way this type of music is awe inspiring is when under the influence of these drugs, otherwise its boring shite and you think to yourself "wtf am I listening too."

Dude chill out. Not everyone's an EDM encyclopedia. I rarely ever listen to that stuff. I asked because I didn't know deadmau5 real name and he made a very similar statement a couple months back
Glad you're fucking hardcore though. I've put up with enough music elitists in my day shit gets old. I could run around slamming kiddies who think Metallica is hardcore but they probably don't give a shit about how kvlt my music taste is. Born yesterday cause I don't know my DJ's that's some funny shit

Madonna is fucking stupid. I bet there was very little real MDMA there compared to all the rc stimulants passed around as "molly". She should have asked if they had taken a bath today with some nice bath salts.

I'm sure it is, but like I said others who aren't EDM nerds don't really care. I used to be the same way with my music "pshhh fucking MTV metal like slayer. Why don't all those kiddies go listen to the real stuff like dissection, deathraiser, evildead, ribspreader, Or morbid saint." but eventually I realized I was being an elitist dick and not everyone cared about metal enough to get into it like I did. Similarly I don't know who PVD is nor do I care. Im not into EDM and probably couldn't tell him apart from any other DJ out there including deadmau5. That doesnt make me born yesterday. Just means idgaf about edm. Just sayin
I don't mean to sound overly enraged it's just a hot button issue for me because I grew up in a scene of music elitists and finely realized how ridiculous the whole thing was

has nothing to do with elitism. at the end of the day, a dj plays records... but some don't need gimmicks; and some played records back when 'rave' was actually a relevant term.
personally, idgaf what PVD has to say, and i never liked madonna. RITM and Eat Static were awesome shows to see, long before shpongle became widely known, and deadmau5 was still playing with dolls. Live PA (pre-laptop era) was always more inspirational than someone "pushing play".
and yea, madonna is a fucking idiot. the so-called 'queen of pop' has to reinvent herself, and her ego is bigger than noel gallagher's. deadmau5 may as well remix and spin her tunes, they're both just posers (note: you may view "poser" as an "elitest" term, but actually, if you're not an innovator, you're an imitator). modern mainstream music in a nutshell

I can't agree with this post more.
Also, RITM is a awesome show. When Bunny get's in the ball and runs around..shit was awesome. He tossed a glowstick and I caught it...big fan of them so it meant something.
