Oakie played Traffic & Resurrection at ULTRA, and a lot of TAs didn't like his set, but I did. It sounded better than the crap he played at last year's ULTRA, for sure.

Hope you had fun!

Oakey has been playing very Tiesto-ish.. he play that @ Ultra too.

oakey used to be a god but now he just doesnt care, he is so not into it. i mean come on he was sitting down on the table behind da decks and walking around, he doesnt give a shit anymore, he doesnt wanna do it anymore. i mean yea his set was OK, nothing more, but i lost all respect for him after this week, let him start his gay band and see him fail miserably all over again.
thats all i have to say

I couldn't agree more. I had an awesome time. I haven't danced like that in a very long time.

His track selection at Ultra was good but I heard a skip in one of his songs dont remeber which one.

I would like to compare last year and this year of oakenfold. i thought last year's set was awesome, not all because of the music. but the crowd was way more into it last year and this year. hands pumping in the air, spectacular view from the stage. But on a personal note i hated him because he was a real dickhead, totally just not happy and acting all superior and shit.
I thought this year his set was average, the crowd just plain out wasnt into it. i talked to him and he was much nicer to me and not a jackass. totally earned a new respect for him after last night. but i just wasnt feeling the crowd as much, the energy in the building wasnt even comparable to our saturday dj's. all in all though was a good show. better then what i excpected considering easter and it was cold and the WMC and haveing my lingerie party the night before.

He played Traffic again? What gives?

Someone musta put sugar in his Coke before he went up behind the decks again.

Whoever bitches about Oakey needs to get a life and needs to learn some respect. He was one of the key people to bring the scene to your ears. He was crafting this art along with a handful of other great djs while most of you were dumping in your diapers and being spoon fed by mommy and daddy. You people take all of this for granted and all you do is criticize. Oakey isn't obligated to make you happy, he does whatever he wants just like you. If you spent your whole life trying to fulfill everybody's wish, you'd wanna try some other things too. He's taken risks ever since he rolled A&R style and that's why he is who he is. He might have been under par for some people certain nights but every dj has their bad nights, that's a fact. I remember when the scene was pure positivity and none of this petty whining bullshit. It's never easy in this industry no matter what genre. And careful when you talk out of your ass cuz that's how you get the hemorrhoids.

Last year he walked off the stage in the middle of his set because he said he wasn't "feeling" the crowd. As Paul stated in his post the crowd was going off and the club was insane. I don't care how much you think you have done for the EDM scene during the span of your career you don't just walk off in the middle of your set and let some disco breaks DJ finish the night while you're drinking champagne and hitting on a bunch of groupies in the green room. Were you there last year when he walked off stage? I was and I was stunned and I can't see how anyone else there wouldn't have been. People paid money to see Oakenfold...not some no name DJ. The club paid Oakenfold to spin...not some no name DJ. Everyone that met him that night said that he was rude and disrespectful. In my opinion he has lost a lot of the respect that he once had from people. I will talk up Ferry any day of the week over Oakenfold. Oakenfold let shit go to his head. I was a HUGE fan of his back in the day, but after seeing him live six times he has never completely impressed me.

Sitting down behind the decks at Ultra was the reason why I walked off and went to see Pete Tong and Sander K. It's a shame that he quit putting his heart into the music and stopped giving a shit about his fans. If he's that tired that he needs to sit down during his sets or completely walk off during a set (without any warning) then maybe it's time that he took a break.

Oakie blows(present tense), i've seen him as many times as anyone here from back in 98 till a few days ago. His set at ultra7 was ok, the mixing was sub par, the track selection was ok as well. Well he did play 3 tunes i have sitting here next to me thats pretty much the only reason i was dancing.
