Oakenfold at Nation(review)

I was really shocked at what i witnessed last night, oakenfold tore the fuckin roof off, so many old school tracks and the vibe was awesome, Sandra Collins was decent but liquid todd sucked it up...anyone else go?

Oakey completely owned last night - there's a reason he's a legend!

I thought Sandra did pretty well - if anyone can ID the track she played right after getting on (after the Seven Nation Army remix), I shall <3 you very much - was an awesome female vocal track.....

Tracks I remember...

Tilt - 12 (Max Graham Remix) <---MASSIVE track live, especially on Nation's soundsystem
Hydra - Affinity
Three Drives on a Vinyl - Greece 2000
Tiesto - Traffic

And there's probably 3 or 4 more that I *KNOW* I recognized, time to start diving through the collection...

BTW Liquid Todd wasn't all that good, though I loved that he dropped Owner of a Lonely Heart (Max Graham Remix) - had a big smile all the way through that track

I didn't bother to write anything down, but I was out on the deck when I KNOW I heard:

Gabriel and Dresden - Arcadia (Swing 2 Funk Mix)

yeah, Owner of a Lonely Heart was a nice surprise - but overall, Sandra's set left something to be desired (for me, at least)

Oakey was great! Once I found room to dance it was hard to stop.

And what's the deal with chicks holding hands, leading their friend's through the crowd and then grabbing your package when they squeeze by? This happened twice, and it's not like I'm really complaining, but it's definitely weird. If a guy was doing that he'd be in jail right now, so WTF?

Looks like Oakenfold is making a last min comeback.

I was there last night and i gotta admit, he tore the place up. I was very very very in awe and practically was like WTF the whole night.

As far as making a comeback, I think he is retiring this year actually.

Is it just me or is Oakey now always Djing in America and not in Europe?

Posted by Greedy on Jul-16-2005 20:45:

could be a US tour or he will cut back from playin in the states like Mauro and Lawler.

Posted by Mebot on Jul-16-2005 20:48:

Sounds like you guys had a blast. I wish i could've been there. cubik is always fun no matter who's spinning.

it was my first time sseeeing oakey. alot of ppl say he sucks but for me it was one of the best nights. from melodic progressive to epic trance the people are just going crazy.. i danced pretty much from the beginning of the set till end. also met tamtui (giovanni) n the dancefloor, I came up to him and asked him if he still remembers me from amit's meet up and it took him awhile to remmber but yes he remembers me. great night, with a great crowd.
hope to see oakey again in the future.

btw, oakenfold also dropped derek howell - gasoline fight. great track on a great soundsystem.
