2012.04.21 [SFL] Paul Oakenfold @ AMNESIA

TICKETS

Bummed out when his show during WMC was moved to Arkadia. Will definitely be hitting this up, as this will be my first time to Amnesia as well I'm excited!

I always wondered what headphones does he use? I've never seen that brand before.

Going to be the first time I will see Paul Oakenfold. Anyone see him play in Miami before? If yes, what was his set like? I wonder if he will stick to his true trance roots, or if he will cater to the south beach crowd.

We recently had him at Gryphon. I personally didn't enjoy. He played a lot of mash ups, trance, progressive and a bunch of psy-trance also. Mixing wasn't the greatest either but it was a great party.

Yeah, Oakey never has been well known for his mixing skills hehe.

I listened to his set at the Ministry of Sound in London for the ASOT 550 show. I did notice a few mixing errors here and there. I'm going for the music, so if he truly plays trance and psy-trance I'll be a happy camper.

Amnesia is a fairly new club. Has anyone been there? How's the sound, lasers, air blast, dance floor, etc?

Posted by Juan Paulino on Apr-19-2012 19:08:

I heard people only go there just for the air blast, i could be wrong.

Can someone enlighten me bout how much a heineken is at Amnesia? Redbull Vodka? Prices are getting out of control at some places...

First time going to Amnesia. HOOOOOOLY SHIT! What a place, the atmosphere and visuals are insane. Between the LED Walls (which moved around), lighting system, fog machines, snow machines, and confetti blaster I don't know what I liked most out of all of them. To me this place puts Mansion to shame in the visuals department. By far my favorite aspect was the ginormous dancefloor. I pretty much had tons of elbow room to move around and dance.

Paul ripped it up. He started with some mashups and some commercial stuff. I didn't really mind since it was edits or different mixes of tired and played out songs. As the night went on (or Paul got progressively tipsy) he started pulling out prog, trance, and psytrance. I will be seeing him anytime he hits up the Miami area. He played from about 1:30am-4am. Can't wait to see Above&Beyond there, the visuals and their music is going to be amazing.

Vids coming soon...

Corona was $10 and I'm assuming all beers were that price. They had Amstel, Corona, Bud Light and a few others. Didn't drink anything other than beer and water so can't help you with those prices. Water was $8 for VOSO water.

Damn it...it hurts even more missing above & beyond cause I'm sure the setup and lighting will be lovely...damn it mansion use the money from the $14 beers to upgrade the lights and add some lasers...oh well glad you enjoyed the night Tomas and I'll see u in a little over a month

Thank you...just hate having to pay $14.00 beers and with tip included and still have the bartender waiting for a buck more.
