I sometimes wonder about Oakenfold, why he doesn't try harder again. I understand the money, fame, easy schedule he has now. I understand that. But I can tell that he loved the music he played in the 90's and early 2000's. All of his tracks seemed hand selected and purposeful, unlike today where every top dj plays the exact same promos sent out that week.
It would seem to me, after years of people asking, emailing, twittering him about classic sets like Rojam, Space Ibiza 99, Coachella 02', Goa mix, and never talking about what he does now, something in him would want to up his game again. I don't mean play old songs, or live in the past but there is plenty of incredible music made every day, but you have look for it, and love it. I feel like the production quality is really good right now but Djing is at it's alltime low. Since he obviously loved the music then, why not now? I base all this on sets I have heard years after the fact, as I didn't get into electronic music until I was 16 in 2006 btw.
