Paul Oakenfold or Girl Talk? (pg. 4)

the best way is to go see for yourself. :)

you don't seem to be presented with many options here, and i suppose something is better than nothing.

I'll be sure to take off my tie dye shirt and cheer for Goa Gil anyways :D

Girl Talk if you want obnoxious hipsters, Oakey if you want washed-up trance crackers. Whoever wins, we lose.

when i opened for him he used cool edit (this was 2-3 years ago)


and yes, he pressed play, and then took his clothes off and put a pumpkin on his head and jumped into the crowd. i might even have a picture of the single stereo waveform gently chugging along.


he played here again a few months ago and this is from an interview with him:

Sun: What’s the difference between when you’re making mixes for your shows and just recording?

G.G.: Both kind of influences each other. I mean, everything I do on stage is live, everything by hand, I’ll go through 400 samples in real time. But I [do] have to prepare the arrangements beforehand. And a lot of it is [that] I like trying on new ideas at shows. And I even like doing new interpretations of previously existing albums. If people like this song or that song from an album, I’ll try doing a remix in a new way ...

Sun: So do you change up the samples a lot? Do you craft it differently for every show?

G.G.: For a tour, there’s usually a general base, but I like to prepare more material than I want to play so I can skip around a little bit if I feel like it. If I have time off, like this weekend’s shows are Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and this week I prepared some new material, so tonight versus last weekend, there might [only] be two new minutes or new material in there.I do that every week and it adds up ... Like there’s some things I’ll play tonight that I’ll never play again.

I have a dilemma too, Gogol Bordello, for the third epic time, or Oakenfold?


Saw Max Tundra, he uses an ipod, plays a bunch of different, weird instruments, sings, and dances like a crazy monkey. Pretty entertaining. A GOOD way to use pre-recorded base.

Gogol Bordello.

Seriously, guys, anything but Oakenfold.

As bad as oakenfold mixing skill, i rather see him than what i saw and heard from those video of girl talk.

Pretty Lights is a great time, as is Girl Talk. I would not go to Oakenfold. I wish they had some good house or techno act. Sasha and Digweed were perfect.
