Paul Oakenfold is a douchebag..

Yup thats right, I said it. This guy is a dipshit, the definition of a douchebag. In some ways, up and coming new talented producers should thank him because it just makes us look/sound so much better. This guy literally does not give a fuck about the music anymore. Here's a story for you guys. I watched him in Ultra Festival one year, his set sounded damn familiar then the previous time I went to go see the monkey face. Every track that he played (if he even DOES pretend to mix, this is another story for later) was from the same fucking set before. I would call out the next tracks that would be mixed in his set because it was all the same.

Also, do you guys ever notice this fucking ****** does the wierdest half ass non caring shit on stage? He literally spins 1 prechosen track, walks around, sits down for 5 minutes, jerks off and then repeats. What a douchebag. If you dont care anymore, then dont fucking do it anymore. Oakenfold is one of those dipshits that just use his "star" name to pull in naive crowds, gets paid and half asses everything, not doing shit. One time my friend who is a manager at a big club caught this mother****** put in a premade mix cd.... and he was pretending to mix . Nights like this , monkey face does not let anyone into the dj booth. Its funny though, all of the money he rips off from people goes to his face for more plastic surgery. I wouldnt be surprised if he turns into the next michael jackson in a few years.

Now after Ultra Festival, he played at the biggest club in Asia, where I was resident dj at the time. I opened up for this asshat so me, lightning guy, oakfag, his manager were the only ones allowed in the booth and what a fucking coincidence it turned out to be... THE SAME FUCKING MIX. This worthless ****** popped in a premade mix cd.. the same one he used at ULTRA and Every other fucking gig he had done that year , and went through the same motions (pretend to mix, walk around all jacked up on coke, sit down for 5 min with his back towards the crowd, rinse/repeat).

Any "top" dj in the world should be putting in effort when they are fucking playing. You dont see kobe bryant half assing when the lakers play. You dont fucking see Tom brady itching his nuts , walking on the field not giving a shit about the game. So why the fuck does oakfag get away with this shit?

I bet some people say "well tiesto does the same thing". No he doesnt you fucking hater, jump on the tiesto hate bandwagon some more. Every time I have seen tiesto he fucking owns the crowd and never plays the same sets over and over again. He has GREAT crowd interaction and you can tell he fucking loves what he is doing.. unlike that douchebag monkey face. Hell I went to go see tiesto in LA a few times and the crowd literally went ape shit (I bet half of these ******s cheering on tiesto were the same ones bashing him behind the computer, jumping on the hate train) .


Fuck Oakenfold. He is a fucking ****** and I hope he jumps off a cliff.

Not entirely sure why this is in the Production Studio forum, though.

Well, that goes without saying.

So he actually popped in a pre-made CD? Wow.

I have to say that when I saw him he was unimpressive. He played some decent tracks, but the set wasn't anything that any old local DJ couldn't have done, and he looked bored out of his mind up there.

And maybe he was so bored because he was just listening to a pre-recorded mix?

Assuming this is true...well yes, it'd be boring, listening to exactly the same set every night for a few months on end. Even if you do get to sit there and think what you're going to spend all your money on. I'm sure he has a great justification for playing a premixed cd. He must have, otherwise he wouldn't do it.

I used to go to a club years ago which had video cameras on all the turntables. So you had screens around the club of what the dj's hands were doing on the records and mixer, among the screens of animation, the lasers and so on. It was a nice touch, so you could always see how the sound was being manipulated. And you could see those djs worked hard, their hands always seemed to be busy. Sounds like Oakenfold wouldn't like those cameras and screens...

Just because you are a DJ does that mean you cant hate your job ?

As long as his music is great i dont care. Yes, i like his music.

I dont need to hear how much you dislike it, and how he doesnt make his music

Have you missed the point? Yes, I think you have.

How is that ? Im just saying i like his music, so i dont care what kind of person he is.

I personally find the 80% of his stuff very generic and boring, used to listen to his music but had to skip always 8 of 10 tunes

Kopi =o.

if oakenfold hadnt done what he did back in the glory days, you probably wouldnt be as keen on trance as you are. if anthing you should be thanking him for pushing it into the public domain.

Who cares if he is pretending to mix. the only ones who notice are the geeks who sit watching the dj all night. its not hard to change speeds on a cdj and cue up. infact, its probably harder to pretend to do it.

oakenfold is a legend and we all (as true trance fans) owe him a lot.

Dude if your gonna support the fact that Oakenfold has lost complete interest in the music dont talk out of your ass and say that beatmatching and mixing is easier than pretending to do it.

I dont owe him shit. Thanking him for what? ripping off peoples money to support his cocaine and plastic surgery condition? Ya he might have been decent back 10 years ago, but thats the PAST. No one gives a shit anymore about the past. The biggest artist/djs today ALL think about the future. You think tiesto just sits at home all day and thinks of his song lethal industry and is still stuck in the past?

oakenfold is a shithead. if you dont give a shit anymore then dont fucking do it.

ya man, really lit a fire up my ass. He would go pretend to mix, walk back move around all wierd, sit down with his back towards the crowd and talk to his manager. What a fucking douche.

lol hes not the only one people! this is common

Well yeah, with djs using laptops these days, it could be pretty hard to tell if a mix is simply playing back or being done live. Even with cd mixers, it's easy to just play a 3 or 4 song pre-mixed section of music if the dj wants a break.

It's understandable. If nobody cares or can tell whether a dj is doing his job properly or not, if you can get paid heaps to just stand around and look bored, why not do it? If people will pay you for it, they're the idiots, not you. As long as he keeps getting paid I don't see any reason why he'd change what he's doing. From the club's/ promoter's point of view, they don't care if he doesn't dj, as long as the crowds come and pay their money. And if the crowds turn up and can't tell or don't care, then the system works.

Yeah, I know some djs who don't dj properly and that may influence others to also think "well, I'm going to get paid for doing nothing too".

Hmm, I might start dj'ing soon...I'll just have to get this year's set worked out...

i'm not agreeing with coaknfold( and he might be a coke head...not sure) BUT MAYBE AND i SAY MAYBE, he is starting to lose his hearing and doesn't want to damage it more by the headphones. Its not like he can go and start working at some other job in an office or something...the guy still has to pay the bills(coke habit) and his cash cow is djing....or playing mixed sets..whatever. I did that once...I had a premixed 12" that was like 15 minutes long...and I wanted to go for a smoke..so I popped it on. i nver liked coaknfold much though...but you have to respect the history i guess.

Yup.

Can this really be true ? I don't know.
The man was once the no.1 dj in the world, His productions are shit but with the amount of money he has made, he could retire gracefully than ruin his name....
We need some evidence................

I really liked 'Bullet in the gun', and the track with crazy town was pretty neat as well .

Too bad. Oh well, he already ruined it on last year's trance energy from what I've heard.

id bet money on the dancefloor being full. and thats all that counts really - people enjoying themselves to good music. i mean, were you really have fun standing behind him watching his every move and noticing all his problems? the guy doesnt have to jump around and pretend to be happy. he has paid his dues and the only bashers are the nerds. if you had been on the dancefloor you would be none the wiser and probably of had a good time.

Oakenfold's influence in this niche goes back at least twenty years. Without him there would be no Genesis, and who knows what life would have been like without that.
