Originally posted by dj_bas So me and my girlfriend managed to get backstage into the VIP at a club one way or another and Oakenfold is back there as well. We're just hanging out talking to some friends when Oakenfold approaches my girlfriend (he's about 5 feet tall btw) and asks her if she wants any blow. She looks at him all confused and just says..."noo...thanks i'm ok". And comes up to me and says "babe, this weird looking guy just asked if I wanted any blow...it looked like Oakenfold but WAY worse." We kinda laughed then she pointed him out, "babe...that IS Oakenfold." A little later he was trying to pick up on my girlfriend and she says (I shit you not), "sorry, I only date djs." That was a good night.

+2 another one here.

The tracklist is good.

The mixing was horrible. I honestly think this was his worst mixing ever in any set I've heard by him.

Kenneth Thomas is the new perfecto go-to man. As a perfecto fan for years, I feel the label is in good shape now as it was a couple years back with the departure of patient saints and andy gray. Oakenfold is now just having everyone remix his tracks from nat monday to mike monday to mark norman, and have exclusive rights to playing them all........but damn pls get the mixing halfway decent oakenfold

But even the dance music pillars in the UK are begging to differ. "Paul Oakenfold Worst Essential Mix ever?" read the byline at the Radio 1 website promoting Oakey's Essential Mix last weekend. A far cry from his 'Goa' EM effort in 1994, it was roundly slated by listeners, especially English ones. So what does Oakenfold say to his British detractors? Are they right that he sold out for the Yankee dollar? "As a nation we love to moan and we love to complain even when the sun's shining. In Los Angeles, if you work hard and you do well people pat you on the back and say, 'Well done'. In England we slag you off." Point noted.

point noted? what point? he didn't say anything about the mix..... hehe

quote:

hese days Oakenfold rubs shoulders with the likes of Danny DeVito and Alec Baldwin; he’s reinvented himself as a Hollywood go-to man for film soundtracking, scoring such films as 'Swordfish', 'Collateral' and 'The Matrix Reloaded'. His name just doesn't grace flyers now, it scrolls by on the big screen as you reach for the popcorn.

it almost sounds like the guy is taking the piss....but trying to sound polite at the same time...

also...
i'm pretty sure don davis did the soundtrack, some tunes with juno reactor, oaky just did a remix of dave matthews band or something... ?



downloadind the essential mix now...
