78.51% chance it will be the worst set you've heard. Worse than Tiesto.

His older stuff, which it sounds like you're familiar with, is classic. His newer stuff, not so much. For the most part he's either a really big hit, or a tremendous miss.

I saw him twice last year. In April, he threw down one of the most horrible, disgusting sets I've ever seen (think not EQing, barely beatmatching, and literally not mixing at points during his set, including walking out of the DJ booth, sitting on his ass and talking to some random person, letting the record end). In October, however, it was like watching someone totally different. He threw down a very enjoyable set.

It's tough to say whether you should or shouldn't go. I'd say go, because it may be a good set.

+1, his set at the premier blew fucking ass...never got to see him in october, but if he was town again, dont know if i would attend...i'd have to serious contemplate that one

Well, like Tiësto... Really, one of the most disgusting sets I have ever seen. Trainwrecking, volume up-volume down, not cheering the people (who seemed to ignore this, cocksuckers all of them from start to end), talking with the ones from back of the dj booth (warm-up dj included) HORRIBLE track selection (track of the night was Lyteo, Perfect Silence or Traffic, so great!).

Truly, I'm not a fan of turntablism or great mixing skills, but that SUCKED!

Btw, Oakie's ticket costs the half as that. So expect it twice good.

what they said about it being hit or miss, is true. i think a lot of it has to do with what venue oakey is playing at in regards to how seriously he will take mixing that night. either way i think the risk is worth it to go see oakey

Cokenfold sucks !!!! He doesn't care about Djing anymore, i think he still spin just to make some money so he can pay his yayo !

best case, you see a master do his thing.

worst case, you get super drunk and score with the beer goggles.

Ill be seeing him next week so hopefully it will be one of his good sets

yeah you never really know with oakenfold depends on what kind of mood he's in and which club he is spinning at. If you get him on a good night he'll be incredible, if you get him on a bad night it'll suck.
