EEK sorry Chris! It was my fault that you had such a horrible night. I dunno why I was in such a cranky mood...and it was my b-day that night too. Oh well. MI AHN!

That's sad. I used to dislike all of Oakey/Sasha/Digweed style DJs. But then I listened to Oakenfold Live @ Space, Ibiza '99. That mix turned me around. Since then I've listened to lots of his sets from the '99 early 2000 era. He chooses his tracks for what they are. true gems. If anybody can ID song #4 from Ibiza, you will be my God (or Goddess) forever. His technical skills aren't superb but I think it's an important example of track selection over technical excellence. But his mixings after those golden days have just lacked the feeling.

Anybody else have any opinions on his Ibiza set (besides the fact that he's got the weird LSG shecan -> skip raiders transition(?) as well as a few other odd transitions)

Are you talking the 7/25/99 Essential Mix? I have been searching for #4 on the set for YEARS. Every tracklist says #4=ID. Arghhhhh! If it isn't the same set we are talking about, he has issues with #4. lol

I believe it's 6/25/99 and yeah we're talking about the same one.. still don't know what #4 is though. I don't think we'll ever know.
