Haha, look at his photo there. That's a poor imitation of Paul Walker's "look into the sunset with squinty eyes" from the 2fast2furious movies.

More power to him, it takes determination and a certain "skill" to get to that step of the ladder.

How is that funny? I was being completely serious, it's not an easy thing to do and if you don't call it an accomplishment as to how big he's gotten then you're bullshitting yourself. Not everyone wants to sit and worry about what the community will say if they do this or that, some want to get as big as possible and aspire in as much as possible wether or not the community likes it or hates it.

I'm not a fan of his or the genre anymore but after all you live for no one but yourself, can't let anything stop you in getting what you want.

This shouldnt' be a shock to anyone. It has been quite a few years since Oakie switched from being a strictly a trance DJ/producer into more commercial genres. The guy takes a lot of shit for it, but I'm not gonna hate on him. He has been playing and producing EDM for decades, so if the guy gets bored and wants to broaden his horizons then more power to him. If he never played or produced another EDM track I'd still have respect for what the guy did in 1999. Those EM World Tour sets are still fantastic today.

I don't even know

I seriously don't understand why people with musical ambition take alot of shit on this board. So what if a DJ doesn't limit himself to "trance"? More power to Oakie because he does what he wants to and people like his music. Yall are actin like a bunch of playerhaters, for sheezy

Just now becoming commercial? Wahahahaha. He's been so for years now, hell I live in the dead center of Ohio and even people here know oakenfold.

Posted by wolftickets on Jul-02-2007 05:50:
