Apparently Sasha turned up and played records sometimes, if he wasn't working on his artist album

Re: Oakenfold appreciation

Opposed to Danny Howells who played at SW4 and spent the whole 90 minutes of his set talking to his girlfriend. Maybe Oakenfold should sell himself short and offer to play the big clubs for free. Sasha said back in 2000 for playing the Bomb he would charge £200, for Fabric £10,000

NOT saying for free, not the point... just saying everyone there would have loved to hear an hour and one minute. Don't have a problem with the amount, just with the attitude he had then. Just my 2 cents worth.

but there was more talent in that 90 minute set of Danny's than jokenfold has put together in the last five years. If danny can dj like danny does will getting a blowjay from his gf, more power to him. ffs, danny could take any set oakey has played, take all the tracks that were used, and make it sound twice as good. srs.


i would literally bet the balance of my checking account on that right now.

Re: Oakenfold appreciation

well as a new member of the danny howells fans, and an old member of the oakey sound. i would agree with 88 here that danny can make wonders happen more than oakey did. oakey was amazing but he went in a whole dif direction and now he's simply long gone to me in the music scene.

live in cuba set is till now in my top 5

Re: Oakenfold appreciation

Yes, hating on oakenfold is old. Jesus pose, beatmatching, pre-recorded sets (is there proof)?, anyway. Because of him, I did get back into the "scene". In the mid 90's I had put my turntables away, stopped purchasing records. I was tired of techno and hardhouse.

Oakenfolds sound was something fresh to me in '96-'97. Trance? These were "live" recordings I was listening too. Something not of the norm for me. it was either pre-recorded cd's you would buy at Tower, listen to dj sets on the radio for 1hour or go clubbing. But this was a live recording. Who is this and what is he playing. Radio 1? Im from the states, Los Angeles, and the closest thing we had was PowerTools. lol.

That Trance era of the late 90's was some of the best music I ever heard. I dont really give a fuck about what oakey posed as, his attitude, never met him or talked to him, but the MUSIC he was playing is what I was interested in. Platipus, BXR, Bonzai, Perfecto, Fluid, all these labels, artists, producers.. I dusted off my turntables and hit the new interwebs..found Audiogalaxy, napster, Yahoo auction, ebay auction, tracklistings.org, my record hunting began again. This time online!. White labels! Test presses.. holy shit, I love vinyl!

So yeah, eventually it turned cheesy, corny, Oakenfold repeated his same tracks over and over but at that point, I had moved on to other artists such as Digweed, Sasha, Progressive House.

If I never would have heard of Oakenfold or his 'trance shite",maybe I would have sold my tables and be listening to bullshit music on the radio.
