Angry Give me a break....

Ok, sure, now it's we hate Oakie?
We gotta hate the best Dj in the world to look cool right?
ya whatever. Why because he plays stuff people actually know, heaven forbid!
That's the problem with U.S. and Canadian DJ's, they play some obscure underground trance that no one has ever heard of, which makes them feel like they are "in the know". But there is a reason no one has heard it before...it's shit.
The top trance dj's, ALL from europe, play for the crowd...not themselves!
Oakies playing "fluff" when he comes to toronto?
Look around you at the next rave in t.o., 50% of the people don't know who is even spinning..."tiesto, who's he? "
Now tiesto at the docks, he played for the crowd, tracks that people knew. A set most of you out there could reproduce at home from tracks you already had, before you were even there. But that was the secret that is why he and other top dj's like oakie and van dyk are so good. It's all about fluctuation, he brings you up and then brings you down, then up again and then down again, you get the picture. Each time you go higher than before and at the peek...you never look down again.
so, anyway,
don't say stupid crap like oakenfolds a joke, cause you my friend just don't know. Have you heard oakie spin live at Cream? at Creamfields? in Ibiza? Sure i haven't heard that lately, but come on now...the atmosphere is everything! If the crowd isn't hype, the dj wont be hype. Just compare PVD @the warehouse to tiesto@the docks. Both world class top dj's...but PVD was crap and tiesto was magik. I didn't turn around like a muppet and say PVD sucks, cause that would be ignorant...the venue sucked. But what else would you expect form the guvernment/warehouse.
Sure you have your opinions but it does look a little immature to judge a guy on the mixes you downloaded from the internet! You weren't there and don't know what the party was like. Now please don't give me that, "i saw him in t.o. and he was shit" crap either, because that crowd was a mean age of 14 and the venue looked completely empty, i felt sorry for him.
Anyway, this diatribe is getting tiresome, your opinion is yours, and i got mine, but lighten up...go see Oakenfold spin in Ibiza and then we'll talk.
Peace.

Smoking ..umm..something oakie

Goodie's makin a few harsh comments here and I'm not really
sure what he's sayin.

?-N.A. Dj's play shit music?
?-good Dj's play for the crowd (ex. Tiesto)but even though
Oakie's past sets here have disapointed, he's still good?
?-50% don't know who's spinning?
?-PVD was crap? (but oakie was good?)

i'm not following
I think if you take a trip over to Cream of Ibiza you just might find Oakie's reputation there is pretty similiar to his here. Don't get caught up in superstar fame game. Just cause the man's kicked in the past, doesn't mean he's still going. Oakie's name excedes him. This isn't to say that someone can't build up a good huge name with a huge reputation. I'm just saying: don't defend someone as being godly, when they've obviously failed to deliver. No one here hates Oakie because its cool to hate him. Most despise the guy because we all paid 40+ bucks to see the ****** and he wasn't anything. Its a valid fact. We'd all love it if the man was still making us dance.

The bottom line is:

A Name is only that, a name!

Ferry Corsten and Oakie info

In reply to this comment "We gotta hate the best Dj in the world to look cool right?" refering to Oakenfold...

I seen oakenfold spin 5 times...i'm never going back. Sure he does better remixes now at the moment Dellerium - Silence (Paul Oakenfold Remix) but thats the only track, which is average for a DJ of his Nature. Its not that fact that Oakenfold spins stuff ppl acctually know its the choice of tracks, the set fuck-ups like my other collegue said in the post b4 me...that make for an absoulutely boring time. His point is well made...whos gonna go pay 40 bucks to go listen to a boring set? and if ur one of the ppl that has been brainwashed that Oakie is God...u seriously need to be exposed to better DJs at the moment sure he was good at one point in his career, but the time has come for a different sound than the tame ambient kinda trancey smooth choice he spins. but thats a matter of choice if u still like that sort of thing. Personally i like sets that keep you dancing and wanting more.

Another funny quote "That's the problem with U.S. and Canadian DJ's, they play some obscure underground trance that no one has ever heard of, which makes them feel like they are "in the know". But there is a reason no one has heard it before...it's shit." ...i bet there are tons of tracks u never heard b4 cuz ur stuck and only been exposed to the Oakie style trance my friend lol. In my area personally "ginos" think oakie is god...i laugh histerically at them, not cuz they choose to follow tame trance, the fact that they havent heard of anyone else besides Oakie.

Another Famous Quote "Sure you have your opinions but it does look a little immature to judge a guy on the mixes you downloaded from the internet!"

The fact that we are able to d/l most of his sets allows us to have a much more arguable opinion about Oakie, than you ,As i said above i seen him live 5 times..and i'm giving you my "bullshit"

Another Famous Quote "but PVD was crap and tiesto was magik"
if you though PVD was crap you must be on some good shit...give me the number of your dealer.

The Last Famous Quote "go see Oakenfold spin in Ibiza and then we'll talk" I'm sorry, but like most people...I do not have the Luxury to gotto ibiza...hence the reason we d/l the live sets.

I know some of the stuff i had said may or may not dissapoint and have some conflicting views with other people including your own (Obviously), but I have said my peace about certain questions and comments made and i hope i have stirred future comments and more posts soo lets keep this shit going.
