Originally posted by sharper he had a ton of success in the beginning, and albeit cheesy as you claim. He opened a ton of doors for many producers to follow. edm wouldn't be where it is today without Oakie. I feel for the poor dude...he's now washed up...but deserves the credit.

+1 i feel he doesn't get the respect he deserves.

I don't think he's washed up. He still has a huge demand, and now it's even more with his exclusive bookings. And as for the music, listen to his Perfecto on Tour radio series. Plays sets from his shoe from around the globe. Still kills it IMO.

Yeah I agree. Anyone trashing on Oakie needs to learn the history of the trance scene. Listen to the Essential Mix World Tour '99 or Goa Mix for a lesson in mixing.

To even compare him to AVB who relies on Ableton to spin his cheesy electro mcprog is pretty funny.

I think when he's in the mood in the mix he's still awesome.He does some interesting stuff.
