A quick query - How do you pronounce the 'Vath' bit of Sven Vath?

Is it " Var " as in jar?
" Varth " as in bath?
" vaath " as in math?
" vaith " as in wraith?

or sumtin else?
Please help, any responses greatfully recieved. :O)

Unless I'm mistaken, it rhymes with "hate".

Some quasi-official article or press release I saw somewhere said
it's pronounced Vate, as in, 'I hate that mate Sven Vath'

I always thought it was "Varth" as in bath, but he's german, so he
probably says it differently anyway. Just my 2 pence worth....

In german, 'v' is pronounced like English's 'f'...
so maybe it's 'fath'?!?!

okay, so there's prettymuch a consensus about rhyming with "fate" or "hate"..
but what about the Sven part?

I have a friend who went to Germany and came back talking about this guy
called "Swin Faith". I had no idea who she was talking about until we
went to a CD shop and she showed me his stuff. It was Sven Vath. So that's
the German pronounciation, anyways.

well, i'm swedish ( and our language does come from the same tree as german )
so the real pronounce would be..
sven - sveein
in vath, he actully uses a letter that's orginal for the german
languages...it's like a long "a" with a bit of "e" in it...
vath - vaaaeeeth

there you go.

I always thought it was pronounced 'Kevin Smith'. With the accent on the
'in' portion of Kevin to produce a perculiarly uplifting experience.

Sometime last year, someone told me his name and I thought they said dj
spin balls. After refering to him with this name to a friend, I was
quickly corrected, I was told to pronounce it, sven vat, (silent "h").
