BT on Oakenfold - ouch!
is Paul Oakenfold THE most over-rated person in dance music?
(one for all the Sasha-bashers!!)
This is from an interview with BT in "Mixer" magazine:
Q: You wrote music for Britney Spears, too. How was it working with her?
BT: It was great, man... People have a perception of things that's
dictated by the media, and there's an incredible--and an
understandable--stigma with people like Britney, JC and Justin. But I can
say without any reluctance whatsoever that the three of them are
technically better singers than anyone I've ever worked with.
Q: That's quite a compliment.
BT: It was a great lesson in separating what you're told from the reality
of a situation. Like, I look at this incredible affection and respect
that people have for Paul Oakenfold, and he has not participated in a
single piece of music that he's put his name on.
Q: Whoa...
BT: And that's the truth.
Q: You're stating this as a fact?
BT: Dude, I've been there. Call Andy Grey or Steve Osborne if you wanna
know who Paul Oakenfold is. Paul Oakenfold is a in' hand puppet. He's
a good businessman but he is not a creator of music. Half the time when
he's DJing, he's just playing CDs so he can do the Jesus Christ pose.
It's an embarrassment. You have people that are considered overly
commercialized that are such incredible talents, and then you've got some
douchebag like Oakenfold taking the credit for other people's work. I
just wish people would investigate things on their own merit.

Quote from a DJ on another messageboard:
" I played with Oakie at rave on the rocks. That's a concert out here,
which brought all mainstream headliners. He did exactly what BT said. He
had a staircase that lead to no-where. I called it his god staircase too.
Then I saw with my own to eyes, him stand on the stairs while two records
somehow mixed themselves. Huh, I looked a little closer and sure enough
it was a cd in the mix. Ahh yeah that's what I call DJin..."

ive always said that that ****** is nothing but a sell out, but to hear this after beiing a dj myself is just pathetic. I went to his concert last night, and he brought out his "band". supposedly they played "live" his bunkka cd, but it was fake and everyone there knew it. All he was doing was playing his cd. All his cd's that i own are now goin in the garbage where they belong. |

i've heard that most of his sets these days are actually premixed on cd
all he has to do is stand there and do the jesus pose
however, if anyone can prove otherwise, please do so |

DJ_Showwav: Well you could start by proving that his sets ARE pre-recorded
before you ask someone to prove you wrong.
This issue has been up 3 times I think in the Music Discussions-forum
and all is a load of crap. BT has got a problem with Oakie, Oakie
has not made any comments until recently (havent seen that mag which contains the comment yet)
and some dude from a different dj mag has made a long comment about
how idiotic BT is.
So, its all a load of bull.
What isnt bull is that Oakies sets from example Radio 538 IS in
fact pre-recorded. But so are ALL the sets from Radio 538.
Ferry Corsten, DJ Tiesto, Oakenfold and so on, all their sets are
not made by them. |

Yes they are,exept some arent mixed live,just pre-mixed on an MD or CD at their home.
Like a while ago a set of Tiësto for 538 was stolen...some guy pretended he worked @ 538 and stole it :rolleyes: |

i guess prove was a bad choice of wording...
what i meant to say was
does he really pre-record his sets so he doesn't have to really do anything or worry about anything during his "set"
and could someone please tell me if this is true or not? |

I think it's just doesn't sound right if a guy like oakey would risk his reputation so much that he would actually pre record a set and just stand there looking stupid in the actual party......
it's just wrong!
I mean, isn't a DJ supposed to read a crowd as well as to do seamless mixes?
and if someone will catch him and prove he's actually doing that stuff, he will never preform ever again........ (I think)
I think BT is just trying to spread rumors about him cause he got something personal against him. maybe they fought or something. I dunno....
anyway, most chances are that all that stuff is bullcrap. Oakey is a great DJ. doing something like that can cause BIG damage to him. I don't understand why a person would do this to himself if he can mix at home, and he has lots of expirience with crowds.... what? so he can do that jesus christ pose? umm...... it's not like it takes him more than a few seconds to do it..... just do it during mixes or stop the TT with the next track for a few seconds....... :rolleyes: |
