Paul Oakenfold - Essential Mix [1999-01-17] BBC RADio 1

[@danielmontoya4063]

Those essential mixes of the mid to late 90s were absolutely fantastic especially as an American teenager where this shit was almost unknown. The global underground sets were solid too. Remembering listening to Pete online back then one of the first streamers and ordering import CDs at my local shop. The people at the desk were probably like who the f is this 14 year old ordering all these European imports? Lol taking me back.

[@kiethj7]

My favorite things. Driving across beautiful country while listening to great trance.

People have been chasing the highs from those days ever since.

❤️ remember this night.. was their that night😍 still remember it vividly! i was right in front of him on one of the dancing podiums on the bottom floor it was a classic club with 3 circling levels you could look down from level 2 also it was a great club back in the day all changed ruined now but the atmosphere & sound was like no other!! i was dancing like crazy what a night it was!! about 3000 over capacity it was a classic set one for the ages will always remember...with all the energy of end of millennium & Sydney Olympic atmosphere building it was a time to remember

[@RobotsX2]

Back when music was great, euphoria was stronger, and hugs sweatier and more PLURy - miss the golden age of trance

[@HazardousCliff]

I was just thinking the same thing! The scene was on another level back then.Definitely the golden age of trance.

[@YesSirPhil]

I was too young back then to go out listening and dancing to this kind of music. What a pity. I love trance from 1999-2006 (the last good tiesto sets). Now they play something called EDM in Ibiza... Horrible!

[@cats-uk]

Plury?

So many times have I traveled that road at many different times of the day. Always listening to the sounds of crasher, Ministry and tidy trax. While now i live far away in another country. I will always remember home

[@olamarca7171]

Me too. Also abroad for few years now.

[@ericferguson5356]

i too have driven that road before, and now call another country my home. i was even driving on it from CA to TX for the second semester of my 1st year of university around the same date as this set was recorded. crazy. and nothing beats a live Oakenfold set...saw him spin twice back in the early '00s

I've listened to his essential mixes from 99 that he did in Shanghai, Space in Ibiza and Havana, Gatecrasher - Lotherton Hall is the best to rave to obviously, but this mix is the best for me personally - the shifts from uptempo to downtempo are done so well between the tracks and those with lyrics in them are just all in the right places. His new autobiography is also worth reading.

[@Alan_Watkin]

we used to to go see him at cream liverpool in 97 back then he played in the small back room the annex, fuckin ace tony de vit used play in that room as well on the all nighters 10till 6 de vit would often have the closing set at like 5-6 clubbing was so good back then, no real agro all about music dancing an going mental lol in a good way

[@lakl4550]

He used to play the Courtyard....12am-3am Saturday nights....2 year Residency....Legendary!

[@tailsofcrypto]

wow so many memories, had this set burned to CD & lost years ago. classic from the great pioneer legend!

[@slymothertrucker3597]

The most famous mix from oakenfold is the Goa full moon party - I with loads of friends listen to it live; Using clips from bladerunner with Vangelis was and still is this day immense. - Strange how today you are unable to party like we used to, or is it that we have sleep walked into an open prison.

@@bigorangenation41 mate, realistacally, Oakey has played housey tracks throughout his career mate. I enjoy what he pushes out from the past, can't say I would listen to the newer mixes though 😏

[@bigorangenation41]

@@scottgraham5480 I listen to Planet Perfecto every week. And things have gotten more trancey the last few years, but about a decade ago he went too housey. I understand Oakey’s career and that he has always spun a little house. I’m a trance DJ and of course I spin a little house too. Good tunes are good tunes, regardless of genre. But again, Oakenfold somewhat abandoned trance in the early 2010’s. Just my opinion. His stuff the last few years is mostly remixes of his excellent stuff from 20-25 years ago.
