I'm listening to his old Essential mixes, specifically Havana, and I just cant stop thinking about how much different he was then than he is now.. i respect his decision to move onto different kinds of music, but.. the man is a god. His track selection and mixing ability have gone downhill.. i just hope he can pull it around before i see him live, whenever that may be.

OAKIE!!! I MISS YOU!!!

i agree that his live mixing has gone to the grave yard


jayd was telling me that his hearing has gone bad..could it be that he is too old now?

actually i think he needs to lay off the drugs while mixing..



best dj in the world in my book...always

He uses ProTools. And before anyone rants about how easy and lazy it is. Its not!

I believe he meant track selection, but protools also applies to the discussion, yes..

Of course, I dearly miss the classic way Oakenfold used to do his mixes and the perfect tracks he used to make his masterpieces ... yet I think he's still a great DJ and a great mixer, its just his new sets don't sound as good as those back in good ol' days .... but he'll always be among my top 5 all-time fav DJs. Unless he is going to try another Bunkha or worse ..... never again!

BTW, while I am still at it .... my top 5 Oakie sets ...
