I havent seen him live for ages, although he is on in boro this friday...! People who have seen him live recently havent been too impressed tho, always in a bit of a state when he plays.....like you simon... But ive enjoyed his 'Stateside' radio shows over the last year. Loads of Melodic trance, breaks, and pop remixes (avril Levene, Bjork, justin T etc...) The CD is just like that too, all the best bits of melodic trance, breaks and pop mixes from the last year or so...although them ixing on the Cd is rubbish, all the mixes are left too late, and its nothing i havent heard before, but its just nice to have it all on a CD...!
it is good tho. Maybe i was a bit harsh at the end. Its the most entertaining CD ive heard in a while...Makes me want to head to the shack on friday!
i could mix better than oakey these days - the guy must have parkinsons or something judging by the quality of his recent sets. Its a shame though - 6 years ago he was the bomb. Im sure his CD is good though... you cheeky whipper snapper.
Oakie is class, always has been always will be, although his mixing aint 'all that' his tune seection is amazing!!! Get him to play Promise!
he is a good dj and the only time his mixing has been shoddy is this year at creamfields! his tune selection was fuckin amazing! defo want this album! fancy burnin me a copy off revel im proper skint dude!:angel2: :tounge:
he hasn't cancelled he wasn't due to be playing the shack, but he canncelled earlier in the year and owed them one so he agreed to play a nite that suited him, which is tomorrow, hence the shack cancelling miss lashes!
but still its not a good enough reason to come down, im gonna count my pennies tomorrow n see if i can come give my ears a battering at lab 4
His first hour at the Sugarshack last night was typical Oakey and all up and down and random shit, with of course "Satisfaction" added into it His 2nd hr id say - proper fucking trance - nothing wrong at all ! Typical Oakey really innit !
