His GU 002 was and still is my fave CD because he plays everything from atmospheric d&b to trance ....It's called artistic diversification, hence the band thing he tried with the Bunkka tour.........okay not his brightest moment, but creatively speaking it was monumental.
Oakenfold is a true ARTIST. Not just someone content to make tons of money spinning other people's tracks. He also helped launch Max Graham's career into hyperspace as well as D:Fuse, Hernan Catteneo and many others.
He has 15 production alias' and has wokred on many movie scores.......
(can ya tell I love the man)
I have met him and he is amazing and incredibly genuine and gracious unlike a certain German Trance DJ who's name rhymes with the third reich...

altho he's done much wit global underground; runs planet perfecto, directed soundtracks such as swordfish , some dumb rave movie, and others; and helped start up Ibiza.... Freestylers still get my vote for the night.
oakie has somewhat become too big to be just a "dj-producer." . and i go to a party to see a dj/producer. either or, i'm pretty sure oakie will get the floor jumping like never before. i definitely wouldnt mind doing some "oakey" chants.
