2010.07.02 PAUL OAKENFOLD + Brad Miller @ Pacha NYC

Friday July 2
Pacha NYC presents...
Independence Day Weekend 2010

featuring
PAUL OAKENFOLD

closing set by
BRAD MILLER

One of dance music�s founding fathers, Paul Oakenfold is also one of its truest believers. Since he first experienced repetitive beats during the UK�s Summer of Love in 1988, the DJ/producer/composer/film soundtrack guru has stayed true to the purest of trance and progressive, spinning vocals, dramatic drops, and showers of synth. There�s no better way to kick off your holiday weekend!

2010.07.02 OAKENFOLD at PACHA NYC? July 2nd 2010???? nobody???

I usually love the big name DJs...
Tiesto
PVD
Guetta
AvB
Above and Beyond
Carl Cox
etc. etc.

and I have been into EDM for the last 2 years...
and I have always been under the impression OAKENFOLD
was a "Big Name?"

But for some reason, there is no discussion about the fact that he will be at PACHA NYC on 7/2/10???

Why is that? will it not be a good crowd?

hahaha exactly

Oakie hasn't been good since 2003

durgs have really inflated his ego and diminsihed he skills

hmmm also...youve been into trance for 2 years are you saying you ONLY go for the big names?

bc thats an uber fail....you should broaden your horizons i guarantee youll be thankful that you did

lol oakey!

i will NEVER EVER pay to see him again! i wouldnt even go for free! among those reasons is because he himself said hes not inspired by music anymore

+1 on that for fucking sure. I guess I was lucky that when I started going out it was basically with active NYTAs (and cl005k) so I got to broaden my horizons, as sam so eloquently put it, rather early on.

As for Oakey here's what I'll say... Go see his opener, Kenneth Thomas, cause that boy can spin!!! Oakey was iite I guess. I think I was outside smoking cigs more than I was inside. Pete's gonna kill me when he reads this.

but yeah, Perfecto A&R man Kenneth Thomas is really really sick so I recommend going early.

I'll actually be closing that night so stay late too if you can! :P Haven't seen Oakie in quite some time but I can say that Tranceport is still one of my favorite mix cds of all time. Def stoked to see Kenneth too he always rocks it hard!

did free with jokie at wmc 07. he mixed classics without his headphones while drunk and on some kind of drugs. you can imagine what happened.

KT on the other hand is a genius at what he does, so you should check him out.

LOL there it is everyone. Go early (10-12) then leave and get some food or go to the strip club... or both if you're adventurous and the RETURN for the closing. ROFL

good stuff brad!

He played it at Ultra in Miami that year, too. Must have been one of the only CDs he brought with him.

I saw oakie play in Boston a few weeks ago, only b/c a friend wanted to go and I haven't been out in a long time. Kenneth Thomas was sick, def played a really good opening set. There was another opening DJ too, I want to say Liquid Todd, who played a good a set as well.

The club wouldn't let anyone go out side to smoke until after 12:15, which seemed really strange at the time. Reflecting back, I think it's because they wanted the club to seem full for when Oakenfold got on. Oakie got around midnight and played a pretty decent set. Nothing mind blowing, but some good trance and progressive. The mixing was solid, no trainwrecks from what i heard. Oakie doesn't bring the same energy that Markus or Armin or most of the other DJ's bring, he just kind of chills in the booth and plays music. But that was fine, I kind of like not having the DJ be the main center of attention, getting the crowd hyped and everyone pushing up front to see them.

Here is a vid with a few songs he played:

Kinda mainstream, dont ya think? Hate to say it, but I am getting sick of hearing these songs.... Man on the Run, Sweet Disposition, and One? They dont really flow together IMO

ya, like i said, nothing mind blowing, some good tracks. But i prob should have added fairly mainstream. I haven't heard sweet disposition or one in the club before, so that was nice. Man on the run in pretty much played out imo.

Ill be seeing him in Vegas Sat, Sean is the closing set, so more time
to pre-party while Paul plays....

Hey guys, thanks for the very kind words. Glad youve been digging the shows ive played alongside Paul, but im not actually on this New York Show (unless you know something i don't haha...)

Hope I can make it out that way soon though,

you guys are never happy...

I always here you guys say things like....
music these days is crap compared to what it use to be...
well, oak is what use to be... lol...

I like big name parties, cuz I get alot out of a sexy crowd...
and smaller names tend to draw in hardcore EDM crowds which tend to be "less sexy" cuz, they are all about dancing and being in their own world... (and I am not saying there is anything wrong with that).
I am just answering why I am not into smaller names...

You can't be serious. I could not compare 1997-2001 Oakie to 2010 Oakie. That's just crazy. The minute the Swordfish soundtrack came out, I knew his club dj career was over and have never even looked at an Oakie mix since then.

Just go to Pacha. You're obviously not into the music, you just want to get some ass. You should ask over at Clubplanet about this event, they share your point of view.

sweet disposition and one?

damn, even trance DJs are rocking SHM's shit now? these guys are rockin' it.

+1... Week after week after week.. Not many of the big DJs besides Markus Schulz or Sander Van Doorn like to throw any curveballs in their sets... I'm beginning to not enjoy going out as much, unless it's a BlkMarket or Resolute warehouse party... I don't even like minimal techno, but the element of surprise and not knowing the songs make these parties immediately better than trance parties right off the bat, it's a shame.

I don't know if I'm the only cynical one that's sick of the same songs over and over, or has the overall crowd just changed due to trance becoming more popular? I roll my eyes when I hear some of these songs, my body doesn't even have an urge to dance sometimes, while everyone around me is going crazy; it's like a complete psychological lack of excitement.. Am I just out of touch?
