saw Coxy once at the urinals in Ibiza Airport. Despite me being stood right next to him he wasn’t keen to respond to my friendly banter.
only briefly met some during their off-decks time at a club
Lawler was an ok guy, quiet
Oakenfold was a brief hello as he knows a Glasgow DJ i was friends with, was ok
Met Sasha in the Ushuaia Tower Toilets back in 2013, was one of his Never Say Never parties with Dj Sneak. He was sound as a pound, chatty and just nicesaw Coxy once at the urinals in Ibiza Airport. Despite me being stood right next to him he wasn’t keen to respond to my friendly banter.
we have had John play for us a couple of times a few years ago. Really, really nice guy.Agree with Stivi's point on Coxy. Even if you just say hi if you see him at an airport, on a flight - he just loves life man, he always smiles and acknowledges people. Same with Digweed too - always time for people - seen him on an EasyJet flight just chatting away to people. Another DJ (who I know gets a bad rep in some parts) was DJ Sneak who I was next to on a City flight to Ibiza once (c.2013/14 - and was very friendly.
One’s a thug and the other’s a thief, but apart from that…![]()
Assuming Lawler as the thug, internet threats IIRC..what did Oakey nick?One’s a thug and the other’s a thief, but apart from that…![]()

What music did he pass off as his own?Yeah there was a recent thread on TP about it. He ripped off the original Ibiza DJs, never credited anyone and passed off established music as his own

Ame was a complete ass ; I was in the backstage in the newest techno club, FOMO, in Baku (Azerbaijan) a few months back . Tried to say I am your fan (and I really was ) while he was leaving the dj booth. he barely looked at me . And his whole attitude during the gig was so detached and ignorant . I stopped being his fan after that performance.
I first got into Ame nearly 20 years ago when the first album came out on Sonar Kollectiv. They rocked my world. German deep house which owed massively to Detroit and which brought it to a younger European audience. The soundtrack to some of the best parties I ever went to London. Whilst I absolutely loved the music I would never have dreamed of going all fanboy with either Frank or Kristian (especially as we were all hanging around nerding out on the same internet forums hours earlier). That superstar thing was never what they were about and they never made any secret that they both hated all that cringey dj worship bullshit even though they eventually had to do the festie circuit and adapt their music to bigger audiences to make a living. Secondly they were never the kind of people to give dj crowd theatrics during a set. The crowds I knew would be heads down deep during Mifune or Shiro or whatever, sometimes you wouldn't know when they had finished or Rocky or the ressie had taken over, you could barely see through the smoke. I wouldn't get all precious and offended because they didn't smile or wave at me because they're not performing seals, they were just playing their records.
it’s a brilliant page to follow that Buckley
