Hmm, I listened to his EM and would rate it 1/10. He trainwrecked through a bunch of anthems (Dirty Sticky Floors, Satisfaction, Southern Sun, Love is Gonna Save Us, Clocks, Resurrection). People who complain about Tiesto's mixing should see how he mixed in Dirty Sticky Floors...

I try to presereve my respect for Oakenfold based on his past achievements, but it is getting increasingly harder.

Originally posted by razmataz tranceport showed me the light and i have never looked back... for that i owe him big time. can't say i like his newer style but i have a feeling (more like hoping) that he will go through a rebirth and come back to his roots... ps: yeah i dont like this bandwagon mentality crap-one day tiesto's the fav and the next day he's public enemy... bullspit

tranceport represents all that is wrong with trance. That's being a glorified jukebox, not a dj...

Originally posted by keithos27 i still think he's #1

Recently he regained the #1 spot on my top 30 DJs List, like he always been for me, up until Bunkkha, LOL Now that Paul Van Dyk is becoming more mainstreamish/poppish, he had to slip to #2

Paul Oakenfold, up until 2001 in particular, had always been one of the best DJs in the world, and was one of the two DJs (with Paul Van Dyk) that got me into trance. His older CDs / livesets (pre 2002) are AWESOME, every single one of them. Lately he's been OK, but classic Oakey (1986-2001) is magnificent!

There is nothing "avant-garde" about oakenfold anymore, maybe 10 years ago..

The only song i like from him was southern sun but it's tiesto's mix. The original mix is not That good.

I still love Oakenfold!!!!! Such a sweet man... and we are having him here in LA for NYE!!!! Can't wait to partyyyyyy.


he is gonna be @ Giant with Sandra Collins, Danny Howells, Lee Buridge, Crystal Method (live)
