- Paul Oakenfold is a record producer and one of the best-known DJs worldwide. He is also one the worlds leading Trance DJs.
In addition to producing records, Oakenfold also mixes them. He first started playing in clubs as a teenager and soon built up a reputation as a top party DJ. However, it wasn't until the early 1990s when the name Paul Oakenfold was associated with the DJ elite. The reason for this rise in public admiration was his adoption of a new breed of dance music called Trance, something he discovered on the hippy beaches of Goa in India and fused with similar sounding European records to create his own distinct sound.
On the club front, well, time for a deep breath...Ready? OK, here we go: Paul undertook a legendary two-year residence at Liverpool's Cream that took residencies in general to another level, from the personally designed DJ booth to die-hard fans (dubbed 'the Oakenfolk' in the press) who would travel the length and breadth of the country week in, week out to hear him whip up a magical musical storm, that would still be ringing in the ears and exciting the mind in the office or the lecture hall on Monday morning. Ever keen to push himself further and harder, Paul decamped in 1999 to become Director of Music at home, the multi-million pound superclub built defiantly - and, as it turned out, problematically - in Leicester Square, the heart of London's West End. That club's immediate downturn in popularity after Paul's departure goes to show the extent of his impact and following. There are but a handful of DJ's in the world who attract the fervour and create the excitement that he is capable of provoking in a crowd. You only have to be there when he plays to feel the electric charge in the atmosphere, more akin to the devotional than the merely appreciative.
So what now for a man at the pinnacle of his profession, the world's premiere DJ? Why, upward, ever upward of course.
saw him twice in the tunnel night club in glasgow, abt 7 years ago fekin happy days.
Best DJ in the world!!! Still blows me away every time i hear his Goa mix and that's 16 years old now, but it's timeless and a classic!! His world tour from 1999 is right up there with the best also and when he used to play at Colours at the Arches in Glasgow he took the club to a different level. Hail, hail to an absolute genius
oakenfold was great at the karibu klub (17 dec 09 - glasgow)
