Paul Oakenfold tour in America for "Great Wall" of China
Oakenfold is coming to America to promote the realease of his new album "Great Wall" of China. His single Hypnotised (Kowalski & Deepsky remix) sounds off the hook. From his interview on MinistryofSound it sounds like the album is very melodic. Nice to hear that as a TA. Have a feeling this album will drop a few frequent rotations on the radio and in the clubs worldwide.
I really do hope that Oakie can get back what he once had. He is extraordinarily talented but I think that he needs to focus.
I'm still enthralled with many of his pre-2000 sets.

Great News! Can't wait to see the gig list.
awosme! cant wait 
also the music video for hypnotised is nice! shows him at the great wall doing a concert, as well as a wet asian girl with boobs! 
I know he will be doing a gig for Glow, most likely at the DC Tunnel...for some reason they dont see it fit to bring PvD, Tiesto, or Armin there though

oakie.
i wouldn't be me without him. i don't care what anyone says. he's still got it.
somewhere.
you cant fuck with oakey...
if anyone says otherwise, they are wrong and should burn in hell for not thinking otherwise
Highmay couldn't have put it any better...NOONE can fuck with Oakie..this is the true leader and innovator of trance and electronic music....
If it weren't for this man,this genius,I would not be the same person I am today...and I would not be striving for what I am striving for today,,,,,It is becuase of this person,,that I have completely engulfed myself in trance music..and not only that...to know that I Can and Will make a life of it....Thank you Oakenfold.....
Thank you...
im very happy about this!
than think of one of the most amazing progressive trance songs created...... "tyrantanic", slacker's remix. think of oakenfold jumping around like a fool behind the decks playing this amazing but out of place song in his set. think of people loving the track waiting for it to hit its climax in a few seconds. and to make a nightmare come true, think of oakie literally crossfading to another channel (over 4 seconds), with completely unmatched beat, straight into another song, cutting off the best climax of the evening. in addition, think about the fact that the song had no place in his set and then think about him so unprofessionally cutting it off...... this was the precise moment in an oakenfold gig that i lost my respect for this man AS A SUPERSTAR DJ.
he has done a lot of things for the scene etc etc. its when his name pops up as number 5 or whatever year after year that i cant take it. he is not the DJ that everyone in this world has made him out to be. a "superstar" DJ has to have a lot of strengths that make him stand out strictly in the DJ-ing arena. oakey has a lot of weaknesses. the thing that makes him stand out is his history. a true case of success and an influence to a new world scene, thats what he is....
it will always remain my opinion that as a DJ, he is not worthy of all the respect he receives - it might have been earned, but not strictly because of his talents as a live DJ, but more so because of other reasons, and also his timing and involvement in the growth of this music. as a live dj, you and i could put up a better set. the term trainwreck was invented for him!
i wasnt just making fun of him talking out my ass. there is a reason why i do this..... theres something about him as a DJ that most people aren't willing to realize. well, if you guys all see him in his different dates for this tour, SOMEONE is bound to realize what i did a couple years ago....
you guys dont have to agree with me or go to war either. i just thought all these pro-oakey messages were probably in response to my criticism, which has now been explained.
yea.. would love to see oakie..... i hope he focus' more on the trance scene again. I really thought for awhile that he was mainly focusing himself with commercial and radio play stuff.... so i really hope this album will be great.
btw, i would gladly check out his album....
my criticism of him is strictly as a DJ, not so much as a producer....
hes gonna be in houston with some hip hop groups. multi talent in different genres. hes my hero.
Well, he did find Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince...
