How Oakenfold discovered ecstacy

[Corven]

Paul Oakenfold: Before Ibiza I was playing LL Cool J and Run DMC but when we came back I was playing acid house and Cyndi Lauper. We had baggy trousers and were dancing like maniacs and everyone was like, 'What the fuck are you lot doing?' I started Spectrum on a Monday, which was all acid, and Future on a Friday night, which was indie mixed with dance. That's how I ended up remixing Happy Mondays, the Cure, the Stone Roses, and touring with U2.

"We got to Amnesia about 2am, and I dropped a pill. There was a big electric storm that took out half the island's electricity. Our half. I ended up sitting outside a bar in San Antonio, buzzing my tits off. It was like we had won the lottery and lost the ticket"

Classic

That's called Youth/experimental times lol. I am sure right now people in their late teenage times or early Twenties have hell of a fun all the time and are not complaining at all about music going downhill, Life getting harder, the sky beeing not as blue anymore as in good ole times and all that crap. You are old farts, that's all. Accept it, it helps!

Can't stand Oakenfold myself, but I can't deny the impact he's had though. Will we ever see some one in the scene again who has had as much influence as Oakey, Diggers, Sasha, Cox and so on?

Maybe it was easier to stay up for multiple days without the threat of losing your job, but top dance music today is better than ever.
