What happened to Oakie?

The question should be, "what the hell happened to his hair?"

too much partying and drugs probably. and another thing i think is that he lost his passion in all his money. he used to be a god

But he used to be what I believe to be at the pinnacle. What has he been up to these past years??

This is what happened.



And then.

Spring is when life's alive in everything.

He kinda lost his touch, seemed to be concentrating on the american market too much. He likes to do 'world tours' these days. I think his ambition is to do more in the 'pop' music sector, and then do remixes for his club nights. I.e. more cash involved. He's still got god like status, i saw him at creamfields in august and he was quality.

just compare his new tracks to his old tracks (production wise)





ps.


that one imo, is tied with GU013


two best mixes ever

oakie's essential tour back then, especially his ibiza set @ home was what got me into trance. and not he looks like this...

what happened is that the people who used to love him grew up & realised he is a joke. He has been a joke for a long time. His mixing has always been shit, its not something that has just happened in the last few years. And his music is far too narrow - any attempt he has made to branch out (like playing breaks in 2001) is just met with ridicule because its so jilted and rubbish.
