Prior to 90's, Oakenfold was spinning house/funk. He also spun U.K. garage.

Oakenfold was GOA in mid 90's with "A Voyage Into Trance."

In 1998, the year he released "Tranceport", he was uplifting/melodic trance.

In 2002, the year "Bunkka" came out, he was bullshit. This album is very popish. I would describe this album's genre as pop/house. Bunkka, however, did have "Southern Sun" and "Hypnotized", but out of 12 tracks those were the only 2 that were good.

Now, end of 2003, Paul is again starting to sound good. "Great Wall" has a great track selection. CD 1 is progressive house/trance. CD 2 is breaks and proggy-house.

Oakie is a trance dj but a part of electronica he loves other styles: Hip hop, R'n'B (I read it in a magazine) so he made tracks and albums completely differents to trance, and maybe also for earn more money. But he's played different styles of trance during his career; trance, goa, progressive-trance...

oh since I love The Neptunes' beats I'm not a 'true' trancer?

this thread is full of a bunch of bandwagoners and ignorant buffoons...yall all mentioning his old album bunka and his old tunes(starry eye surprise, hip hop remixes....)...wut hole have yalll been in the past yr...ur asshoe or ur moms piehoe?....listen to his weekly radio shows..he will spin anything from trance to breaks to goa to whitelabel shit u havent heard of....if i remember correctly oakenfold was one of the first djs to be given the cd-r of insigma-avalon and one of the first to cann this tune....ugh some of yall peeps need to brighten up

yaletrance imo and fr experience i reckon people who like trance do not fancy hiphop/rnb.. not insulting your taste at all..diff people have diff tastes. its just from what i have gathered so far. I hate rnb/hiphop clubs coz i just cant enjoy that music played so loud.. however when i'm tokin' thats a diff story.

The 'true trancer' part was just meant as a pun.. so don't take it so seriously =)
