Originally posted by Mattivi dont get me wrong i used to love oakenfold, he got me into trance, listening to the old essential mixes, etc(still listen to them today), but that was the old oakey, he's just not the same dj, same man anymore for that manner. i just lost a lot of respect for the man after ultra this year, that really was the breaking point for me with this guy. yeh hes defintely been an ambassador for edm bringing it from the underground to the forefront, but in that process, with all the success, he forgot what got him there, he lost touch with the fans, or at least the REAL ones. i dont know if you seen a gig of him lately but he is totally detached from the crowd and drinks and chats it up with his croonys between tracks, its totally lame. and if he is still in your top five, no offense, u need to get out and experience more djs, for real.

I have seen him live, and yes, it is one of the reasons he is still in my top five and always will be, unless he fucks up majorly.

He owned from '99-'00. No denying that. Now, he owns NADA. Nothing. ZIP. ZILCH. I was bored as fuck listening to his set @ ULTRA.

Everyone slips, but not everyone walks out on a room full of people. My brother was a HUGE Oakenfold fan before that night. He couldn't believe he did that...none of us could. It wasn't like he left the club because he didn't. He was in a room off to the side hanging out and was still there after the club closed. If you are going to walk off in the middle of your set you owe people an explanation...especially the owner. I didn't go there to see a breakbeat DJ from Chicago spin an old school set. Oakie was a huge reason why I got into trance back in the 90's, but that was the 90's. I used to love Oakie, but you could never compare him (today) to Ferry Corsten in my eyes. You have to kick Ferry and Tiesto off the tables. Hell, you even have to kick Sasha off. What DJ in their right mind would want anyone to walk away from one of their shows thinking WTF? If I was a big named DJ and someone paid me top dollar to come to their town and spin...days before WMC...I would put my heart into it. I personally would want to leave a positive lasting impression. If I really didn't feel like spinning I would take one minute of my time and tell the crowd that I was sorry...not just walk off mid song and let someone else close my set. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I am not sitting here saying that he is a shit DJ that doesn't know how to spin. I'm saying he showed zero respect for 1000 people here in Tampa and that cannot be argued.

OUCH. It's Oakenfold's primadonna thing, as some people have come to call it by. He thinks he's the shit and has allowed it to get to his head, so I guess that's why he reckons he can abandon a set like that. That's a distasteful thing to do, for lack of a better word.

I only got into this scene in '99, Amber, and Sasha was the beginning of it all for me. Wipeout 3 for PlayStation 1.

After Sasha, Paul van Dyk, then Oakenfold, Tiësto, Armin, Ferry...

Xpander is from 1995? I thought it came out in '99....

Staying on topic, Tiësto on 6/18, I'm there! (Provided I'm still working, of course... )
