I personally hated Bunkka. Southern Sun was great...but where did his trance style go? Hes making all this new weird lame shit. I hope Im not the only one that hated the Swordfish soundtrack.

And where did the fukker go? I havent seen his name on any flyers in forever. Ive heard alot of his music on Volvo commercials and other COMMERCIAL interests...do you think he sold out?

He used to have some wicked tracks back in the day...I hope he returns with his GOOD music and not this Bunkka shit.

What do you all think?

I liked Bunnka and the Swordfish sountrack. Oakenfold isn't the best producer, but I still liked the music. I don't really care that he did Goa at first, then melodic trance, then a mix of DnB and breaks and trance, and now this more mainstream stuff. I just listen to what I like...

I like that he changes style a bit. I don't know any other DJ that mixes so many different styles into one set, so that its not all the same. I dunno if you can expect any different, his background is not purely trance and he is a person of music, not just edm.

Though I really don't know what happened to him. He does have tour dates in the US I think, though none in my area, otherwise I would definatly go. Haven't seen him in two years.

I dont like his commercial interests too. He´s more a commercial DJ nowadays than a progressive DJ

But I think his radio shows are still great!!!

do you honestly think that you just posted the first what happened to oakenfold thread?

I think he just got old. Remember his well into his 40's...

I'm pretty sure Oakenfold achieved all that he possibly could in the trance world - it wouldn't be the way it is today without him.

You can't go making the same type of music and playing the same music forever. It seems like Oakenfold evolved and moved on (for better or for worse).

he made a track which is going to be featured in the soundtrack of shrek 2.

he is going for the more commercial areas of music yes, but who can blame him? he is making good music whilst making good money out of it as well, I adored Oakenfold and will continue to do it, for what he is doing and what he has done. =)

It says in Mixmag that Oakie's new album (due this year) will have more "rock influences" . I doubt we'll ever see the old Oakie style return...
