sorry no coke, but i thought this was cool
Paul Oakenfold 24/7 Channel 4 / DVD
Viewers will follow Paul across the world, taking in London, Los Angeles, Ibiza and countless glamorous places in between. Everyone knows Paul Oakenfold the DJ, so we’ll leave this to his mix CDs and DJ sets and, instead, see him jet-setting across the globe, joining him in the studio to record his own original productions, remixes and radio shows; see him running his record label; and go along with him to magazine and TV interviews. We join Paul as he hangs out with fellow collaborators, meet his celebrity fans, and visit some of the world’s coolest and most exclusive venues.
On the flip-side, we get inside Paul’s personal life, kicking back in his rare moments off. This is the personal life of the everyday Paul: we see him at home in his house relaxing, watching TV, washing his car, and shopping at his favourite stores. We hang out with old friends from both the music industry, and closer to home, as they go for dinner, indulging Paul’s love of Asian, and especially Japanese, cuisine. We join Paul on visits home to his proud mum, visiting his old school, the house he grew up in, and the shops he bought his first records from – the seeds of his current, astounding 75,000+ piece collection.

Ya know I still have more respect for Paul Oakenfold over any other dj.
1) Hes been doing it since the mid 80s
2) He discovered BT
3) His GOA mixes set the stage for all essential mixes following them.
4) He toured with U2 bringing dance music to the masses.
5) Owner/founder of perfecto records. Discovered numerous artist Dfuse, Timo maas etc.
But his hair is ridiculous .
And i believe the song may be referring to his career "its not over yet" lol. |

Ok...I know there are going to be PLENTY of Oakenfold bashers out there but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Oakey has played a major role in the evolution of dance music. We've all heard his mix CDs, his "dance" remixes, and his live performances (cough...trainwrecks, cough) in various clubs. , I even played with the guy once in NY and hit an afterhours with him in Boston, which by the way was quite a unique experience. Almost as unique as my afterhours experience with Sasha at the infamous Harvard University Phoenix house. But I digress.....
Simply put, the man is a genius. Maybe not behind a set of turntables, but in a business/marketing sense he NAILED it. I remember a decade ago when I heard my first Perfecto record. I'm not ashamed to admit it: I own just about every perfecto record ever put out.
But the man was able to promote himself, his record label, trance, EDM, and his lackluster musical ability to the entire planet. How many DJ's/producers/musicians have been able to do that? He is known worldwide and even people that know nothing about EDM know his name. In my very humble opinion, he was able to pave the way for guys like AVB, Ferry, and in some smaller way, PVD.
And yes, I am in awe of the fact that he gets away with mediocre mixing along with short, lazy sets. But he's a global icon who built himself from the ground up into a household name. Love him or hate him, you gotta respect him..... |

We get him doing the JCP plus him doing another version of it on a 'soccer' field and holding up a British Football trophy, f'n great! :haha:
Really, it looked interesting, but I agree with djRocket, this should have been done in '99 or around five years ago. He's certainly done a lot for the scene, and like him, love him or hate him, you have to respect that trance and EDM is not where it is today without his work. I know a lot of you are Oakie haters and for me, he hasn't done too much the past few years (His 2004 mix of Beautiful Day rocks though.). I haven't come across a notable Perfecto release in a while and everytime I saw him in '05, it seemed to be the same old tracks. Some of his other 1990's essential mixes asides from Goa and the '99 tour are really good and worth checking out though. |
