Paul van Dyk is about to release a new best-of compilation entitled "Volume", a double-disc set that features some true PvD classics, but also a new single and remixes of artists such as U2, Depeche Mode, New Order, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears.
In the meantime, Grand Slam Tennis, a new EA sports game is released this month with music composed by Paul van Dyk.
Although Van Dyk remixed a song for a video game before, Mirrors Edge, it's the first time he's directly involved in creating music for a video game.
PS3Informer.com interviewed Paul van Dyk about his soundtrack for 'Grand Slam Tennis' while Van Dyk also shared his thoughts on diverse topics like music piracy and the Twitter revolution in Iran.

It was a very interesting experience, because I had to create the main themes for events like the US Open and so on.
I was surprised at the amount of creative freedom that they game me, so at first I was like, "Which direction do you want me to go with it?".They told me just to be creative, to do what I felt like. So, for example with the Wimbledon event, I ended up going with a drum and bass theme, but at the same time adding a lush, beautiful summer thing to it because that is when Wimbledon happens.
But then on the other hand, for the New York event, I had this really banging piece, hard electro, which I felt was perfect for the US Open.
