what has oaky been up to?

I know this thread is quite open to the responses of who cares, but is oaky doing anything, cuz the only set I have even heard of him spinning in the last 3 months or so was WMC. Does he have another CD on the way or is he just kinda slipping away?

Isn't he still promoting his reality TV series The Club?

too coked out to play a decent set

Posted by torontotrance on Apr-21-2005 21:26:

i wuz going to interview him with some nasty questions but he's stopped all media requests. He's gone back into the studio, you know what that means, sitting on his arse coked out while Andy Grey and Steve Osbourne do all the work. I dunno what he is doing in studio, I'm praying not 05 remix of bullet in the gun but you know its coming eventually. Gotta still love oakenfold tho, he may be an overpaid, overhyped, sob now but he was still what got some of us into EDM, I know I am one. You can hate oakenfold all you want but his level from 1997-2000 will never be matched....

He's probably stopped all free media requests.

Although I liked some EDM, Tranceport got me into the music. I wouldn't be where I am today, without that cd. He might not be the best dj around, but he plays good tracks and would probably play well if he wasn't always so fucked up.

A Voyage Into Trance Is what got me into trance...The 2001 release of it that is (what was that like the fourth rerelease of it?) Boy was I dissapointed when I googled for more trance and found out what "real" trance was.

So he(or other people) are working on a CD thats not remixes(hopefully)?

Posted by Aitizaz on Apr-22-2005 00:45:

^^^ yea he's working on a new CD...he was here in toronto last yr and he said he had a new artist CD in thw works in an interview...should be an interesting follow up to Bunkka

Hey, if you guys could get the good coke that Oakenfold gets, you'd be hooked too.

he has definatly been off his rocker as of late. but yes you are right, his pre-2000 level will never be matched in trance.

Im looking forward to his new album, see what he has been up to.
Atleast andy grey and steve are credited for every song they help him with, i guess they are the only people that should have a problem with him promoting the songs under the oakey name. If they were unhappy, they would have stopped a while ago.

I heard a rumour about Bunkka 2.0 a while back. Let's just hope it's better than the first.

Yep. I'd imagine he has enough to retire nicely right now. I saw him two weeks ago, and someone who doesn't care about something to the extent that he did really needs to get out of it.

He only started going downhill when he went over to try and get America more into dance music. I read an interview a few years ago where he admitted he plays it more commercial to be more accessible.

If only he'd stayed here in the first place...

I dont like what he plays in the club nowadays, but Great Wall is one of the best progressive albums from the last years...
great track selection and amazing mixing skills... like oakie used to have.

And Creamfields is good only for disc 1, disc 2 is unnecessary.
Auranaut - People want to be needed fits better in Magik 7...
