[@admiralnelson4767]

Well, icq was more of a thing for me...

[@Meinubigboy]

Social media now occupies the time people used to go dancing and meeting in public environs. Social apps are less social but highly commercial.

[@bdhpxd]

And people can't put their phones down at a concert to just BE THERE and feel the music.

..but what city is this .. Toronto maybe . It not this big ...the CN TOWER did we see back a bit ???

[@leemanism]

@@phillunrau9972 - It's the Greater Toronto Area. The driver goes from one city to another, then to another, then to another. At 36:40, you can see the CN Tower and then again at 1:36:05.

[@Lunatick666]

Im just in tears listening to this Set. Realizing my life is half way though (if im lucky). Been to so many raves and parties. Met so many people. The fun, the highs and even the lows. Life was just so amazing. So fresh, so much to discover. Yet here I am now, stuck in my home.. unbale to enjoy good parties because im just done. Not even this virus but just the entire mindset of people. Lost many friends and family. The music doesnt give me these feelings anymore. My mind is blank. Memories starting to fade away. It hurts to get up. It hurts to go to sleep. What the fuck happend to me, to society. Where did it all go wrong? Its like there is nothing but rage and anger. Maybe it just me. But I would love to see social media go away and make people Go out again. Experience life as its suppose to be. In stead of living through your phones. Sorry for this rant. Im just having a mental breakdown.. thats what this music does. It takes me back to better times. Such good times. Yall kids better live your life. Its gonna be over before you know it. Bless anyone who understands my feelings.

[@RelightwithKat]

I don't know you but I am sending you love in these strange times. the human spirit has not been completely killed yet, as bleak as things may seem right now i know things will look up. take care of yourself and all the best.

[@MrJonty1971]

I’m with you. ‘99 was an amazing year for me. The older we become the more numbed we are. To lose connection with emotion. Compressed within an existence of just existing. This kind of music takes you elsewhere. I wish you well and truly hope that you find a way through.

[@genetung8590]

U need 2 get your shit together....if you cannot see the beauty, how can you make it for others?

My friend and I drove 6 hours to the beach and back just to listen to this mix over and over. 20 years later and I still hear something new every time. Magic. Whenever Auranaut - Yoyo hit, we would both look at each other with a "holy FUCK" expression on our faces

When this aired I was 28 years young, 11/2020 turning 49 yo! Anyone other mid-lifers still listerning to latest 2020 dance trance electronica? Hell yeah! 1999, what a great year to be alive!

[@Mike-yj5yw]

I first heard this set back in 99/2000 and it changed everything. I had never even heard of Ibiza. It sounded like this mystical island in the middle of the Mediterranean ppl like me in the States could only dream of going too. Well that dream for me finally came true 15 yrs later when I visited in 2016. It was everything I thought it would be & then some. Eating dinner at Cafe Mambo watching the sunset on the Northern part of the island. Seeing Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike at Amnesia. Getting to visit Space like a month or so before it closed down. Seeing Hardwell at Ushuaia. The beaches. The scenery. I need to go back. Fyi, the essential mix in Havana, Cuba might be better than this mix.

[@bra8550]

The ultimate high and Oakey at his best and he will confirm was cream at the nation in Liverpool was his favourite place and Liverpool always pump out the best music thats why he became the resident dj and he and all of us missed the best club ever

[@sabahnawaz3141]

i'm 30, born in 1991. when all this music was popping, i was like 6. my uncles were big ravers in university at the time, when they used to come home trance and this kind of music was played in their cars and in their bedrooms. although i was 6, this set is very nostalgic for me, it reminds me of an endless childhood summer. i've been to a lot of raves and parties but not one with music like this, i hope there's a massive trance reunion or gig and we can allg go and enjoy the vibes!

[@KB-oe5dw]

The mid to late 1990s marked a significant era in the evolution of trance music, with artists like Paul Oakenfold at the forefront of this genre. There are several compelling arguments that support the notion that this period represents the golden age of trance music. Firstly, during this time, trance music experienced a surge in popularity and creativity, with artists experimenting with new sounds and techniques to push the boundaries of electronic music. Paul Oakenfold, often referred to as the "Godfather of Trance," played a pivotal role in shaping the genre and bringing it to a wider audience through his innovative productions and DJ sets.Additionally, the mid to late 1990s saw the emergence of iconic trance anthems that have stood the test of time and continue to be celebrated today. Tracks like "Café del Mar" by Energy 52 and Oakenfold's remix of "Southern Sun" are regarded as classics within the trance community, capturing the essence of the genre and defining its sound for years to come.Furthermore, this period witnessed the globalization of trance music, with events like Oakenfold's legendary sets at Ibiza's Amnesia nightclub attracting fans from around the world and solidifying trance as a global phenomenon. Oakenfold's influence extended beyond the club scene, as he played a key role in bringing trance music to mainstream audiences through collaborations with artists from various genres and appearances on popular radio shows and movie soundtracks.In conclusion, the mid to late 1990s, spearheaded by artists like Paul Oakenfold, represents the golden age of trance music due to its cultural impact, creative innovation, and timeless contributions to the genre. This era continues to be revered by fans and musicians alike as a period of unparalleled excitement and inspiration in the history of electronic music.

This is the first electronic set I listened from start to finish. I was in college in 2004 and a friend gave those cds. I couldn't believe how amazing it was that each song followed the other like the other piece of a puzzle, the other turn of the same. Until then I could not understand why people bonded so much on music settings like raves. 20 years after... I now know

Hearing Blondie - "Nothing is Real But The Girl" at 13 minutes, just takes me back to when I was 19... magical set.

I was born in 94, so this is definitely before my generation. However, even though most electronic music I listen to sounds different, and is from later on, I instantly recognized that this is a classic. The quality and composition of this mix is just amazing, and should be appreciated by any electronic music fan

[@stuartg4670]

this, havana mixes, miami 1999... they are regularly on my playlists... What Oakenfold did then is timeless, pure magic

Almost 2020 and still one of the best I ever heard...

I used to play this set in 1999 in my car on MP3. The car audio was EXPENSIVE just to be able to play MP3

[@beenthere6769]

Mine could not. I had to record two audio cds

[@svargr7982]

We used a Panasonic shockwave MP3 walkman wired into the car's tape deck through one of those cassette to headphone jack thingies lol

Right on Rob, I dream of doing the same...with a really high quality sound system and me running my own lights like I used to. :)

What a great mix, what a great era, back when people went out and just jammed the night away

[@Wow-Shares]

Precies Etienne!

[@FakefulandDisgracedSlaveClass]

Damn Peak Oaky right here, absolute master class in track selection, each one perfectly flowing into the next, filled with ups and lows, classics strewn throughout. Perfect mix. Miss this era of DJing man, the late 90s really did have it going on.

[@radi0bezel825]

Best intro of the series. Man was untouchable from 95-00

[@lambdapriest]

I always sit straight up in my chair for the Lange mix of Brainchild - Symmetry C. What a great set.

[@Mitchcraft.]

SPACE was my favorite club in Ibiza because you went there at 8am and there was this huge platform that they moved out on to the dancefloor that had one of them big thick gym mats on top and people were just lying all over it coming on from the party sweeties ;) You were indoor until about 12noon, then you went outdoors to this open area where they continued the party so essentially you could club almost 24/7 . You would start out at about 7pm to get to Cafe Del Mar or Mambo which was a little hard to find the first time you go. There you watch the sun set which is awesome to see, then when it turns dark all these people appear juggling fire and hoops of fire, it's insane. I loved Cafe Del Mar because the toilet was all mirrors, the floor , roof, walls. So by 8-9pm you are in the west end clubs like Play 2 where they had a lazer show and other small clubs/pubs that if you bought 4 beers you would get a free 70cl of vodka, peach snaps etc so you just bought 8 beers and got 2 70cl bottles for next to nothing then later you would head to places like Es Paradise , Pacha etc which were like £40 door fee and £8 a pint of beer, insane yes? Anyway you would be there until about 6am then head to the Starbar and everyone suddenly jumps in all these taxis that arrive 10mins before Space opens and that's when you head there. I think the outdoor part was open until about 4pm then you move on to a beach party lol

[@stevenross-watt8640]

What year were you experiencing this? I arrived late to Ibiza and I've not seen Space during the day, just club nights.

[@Mitchcraft.]

@@stevenross-watt8640 the end of the 90s that’s a shame they don’t do that anymore as i thought that was the greatest thing ever , being able to go to a club like that through the day

[@chenoah2010]

you lived the life man..superb memories

[@the.disrespected.sports.gamers]

That sounds like it would take a hell of a lot of coke man.. happy you lived the dream tho 👍

[@GeordieSte0111]

Quality from start to finish, nice one Oakey.

[@operationstech]

Ending my 2023 with the famous Oakenfold... timeless classic!

[@SKYZTHELIMIT514]

Up there with the top all time classic sets....I been cranking this thing for decades and it still has stood the test of time and has become timeless....#fax

Who's here after watching him live on twitch during the COVID 19 shut in on March 28 2020? All of those old records he was playing brought me back to an easier time in the 90s. Stay safe everyone!

[@MrJacobaaaaaa]

I've had it off of Napster, but was hesitant to upload.

[@sylvainvanier4300]

Sooooo good, still 20 years later!

[@adrianprice7959]

I knew who he was but never heard many of his mixes. Just a few tracks really. Heard him play on a Beatport 24 hr show with other DJs and it was the sickest mix! Now I've been going into his other stuff. Tranceport has now became one of the best mix CDs I've heard and now finding more of his stuff. It's unreal. This music is timeless

[@superdanpl]

That first tune is mint. Late 90s raving was amazing! Close your eyes and reach for the lasers.

[@privatesector0422]

How long have I been gone for? Oh my God I'm finally back!!! Memories retained within music. I miss these days a long time ago. I miss you Stephanie

[@dmatthews7423]

This is still the most beautiful mix I've ever heard.

[@KeithR217]

One of my best discoveries of 2020

[@Wonko-bj4jx]

Was thinking, "ooo a driving video, wonder if I'll be able to figure out where it was filmed." The car then immediately pulls out in front of the CBC building, where I worked when this mix was originally recorded.

[@missparkerpretender]

saw the first cab and knew it was proudly a Canuckian production :)
