As a dj, just sounds like a train wreck whenever I’ve seen him.
Yeah he was just before my time really in terms of when he was resident at Cream (his heyday?). Have seen him once or twice but after that time and it was always the same set - basically the Perfecto records back catalogue. This was years ago now mind. Think he moved to Hollywood, did more film production type stuff and was phoning it on on the dj stuff.

I used to listen to his ‘Resident‘ mix CD a lot as a youngster though when I was into that sound.

 
Oakenfold was by no means the first trance dj or producer. However, he certainly led trance being popularised in the mid to late 90s and was absolutely huge. He was also the forerunner for expensive djs and ridiculous riders, but absolutely nothing like what we see now. His mixing was average at best but he was top of the class in terms of programming, selection, building a set and creating tension. My interest in trance faded in the early 2000s and I’d say around that time he started to get overtaken by other trance djs before the genre pretty much ate itself. Strange thing about trance is that it has become a massive contraction. Since it went back underground it is considered cheesy by many and djs with any track record cost a flippin fortune to book despite the difficulty in filling venues. The scene doesn’t help itself.

Just seen a video of Eric Prydz holo show at Ultra Miami and wow even if they only pack half of that into Hi then it will be mind-blowing 🤯

Ive seen Prydz a fair bit including Holo twice and it is great but almost turns into bit of a ‘concert’ rather than club night. Not sure with the main room layout in Hi what it’ll be like.

Interesting he’s doing a lot more with Beyer recently (including Cirez D at Junction 2)

I was a member of cream (and sankeys , see the members card?) during 1996-98 and oakenfold was rising then. He peaked around his 1999 set at creamfields … and then … well I can only hope it’s back to basics as the night alludes to. I’ve got my concerns but it’s worth the roll of the dice. He used to get cream pumping like no others could.
 
Do you guys think there will be something going on for Tuesdays at Ushuaia in September? Wanting to firm up some plans but sorta wanna wait to see if they have a surprise in store...

Genuinely don’t know yet. However, by September Ushuaia often goes to about ~5 days/nights a week.
 
Watched this set and it really shone a light on how good Maceo Plex is... Yet you go onto the comments section and everyone banging on about how good Bibi - totally ignorant to how Maceo really enhanced this set. I would atually say they both go very well together
Very good set I really enjoyed both guys, Maceo definately made Bibi change it up, but I thought both were great
 
The Resistance rumours that will just not go away... Will they / won't they?
It's confirmed now there no is no going back after that announcement

Just shows that ibiza is still an important part of the scene if they decided to announcement it at a well known festival

So in what way do people think it will land in Ibiza this year? Some one-offs? Ushuaia? Amnesia? 😎
