Thank you for writing and singing such a beautiful and iconic song! What a classic!

[@amigopokies8752]

I've said it before on another vid. One of the best songs there is. It brings a tear to the eye (sometimes just thinking about it)

[@nostalgia4millennials]

Paul Oakenfold is an absolute LEGEND

[@muzikxpress]

🙌🏻

[@s3vR3x]

godfather of the scene. a true legend.

[@musicloveunity]

Huge respect🙏

[@avblwd]

First time I heard Southern Sun (Tiësto remix) I felt like I was floating. That song is real special to me.

[@idenpoelchau1656]

my favourite song of all time - or pretty damn close to it anyway

[@carlawernerofficial]

that's such a cool comment! x

[@scottfindlay7129]

I have just realised there is an original, I've always listened to the tiesto remix haha

[@chri82s]

Legend..still listening to his old Essential Mixes to this day. Without Oakenfold there would be no Tijs.

[@mattyH7-3]

Love this song, really reminds me of a space in time where you are in a bubble and nothing else matters

[@lemececossais]

Tiesto remix is heaven, so euphoric and the vocals are mesmerising. The song just lifts you up and takes you away, one of my all time favourite tunes.

[@АЛЕКС-э9п]

The Man. The Myth. The Legend.

[@muzikxpress]

Very happy I had the chance to sit down with him and listen to his stories!!! For sure one of the highlights on my channel! And.... more to come!

[@АЛЕКС-э9п]

@@muzikxpress He should be named “Sir Paul Oakenfold” 😎

[@musicloveunity]

Very nice 😊 Please do more interviews with Oakie about djing and crazy party memories 👍🏻 Cheers

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you! And there are other channels / outlets who focus on DJ-ing and party memories / stories, Muzikxpress is about the stories behind the tracks, so if there will be new interviews with Paul Oakenfold (which I hope of course!), the main focus will be another classic he did ;-) Thanks for your understanding.

[@musicloveunity]

@ no worries 😉 I totally understand your KZbin concept

[@aleaguilar8891]

Southern Sun is such a beautiful track. Loved hearing not just about the song, but also about Paul's story and experience in the industry. Another great interview!

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the interview!!

Absolute legend. One love from Scotland. 💙

[@Imaninternetuser]

What a refreshing interview. Paul is a British legend! Many interviewers ask the wrong questions, but you asked him all the right ones. Many thanks MX!

Oh wow, thank you for the kind words! Always makes me happy to read comments like this, thank you!!!

[@graemethinn3768]

Oakenfold is an absolute legend ✌️great interview pal

[@muzikxpress]

@@graemethinn3768 Thanks so much! And yes he is!!

[@ButWhatIfItIs]

The Tiesto mix was the key to making it absolutely perfect to me. It is an explanation to trance detractors when they ask why I like that kind of music so much. It makes me feel melancholic yet uplifted, nostalgic yet hopeful, calm yet excited at other times. Pretty incredible feat.

[@DjDugiUK]

Man did Oakey do it all. Best compliment I can pay is this guy IS on The Mount Rushmore of Dance Music.

Love That 💯

[@mtagg1985]

Oakenfold shaped the music of my teens till present day. The man and his musical influences have been in my life for as long as i can remember. Like a friend thats always their. I wish, like many i could thank him personally. Cheers paul mate

[@TheBigNoize.]

Paul spit some true stories out...man with balls and pure legend.

[@TheCazz10]

He was (and still is) a real go getter….

[@muzikxpress]

Would love to do some more interviews with him, could listen to his stories for hours!

[@pgrossmsk]

the moment he say ' we need to leave that record alone ' , current progressive techno . Just reminds me of Charlotte de Witte remix of age of love .

[@Ice-T.]

What a legend, i'm listening Paul's music since '99, he is one of my favorite dj's and producers

[@andyfal199]

First time I saw Paul was Jan 2000 at Gods at the sanctuary in Birmingham and he played moogwai Viola and I was just on the way up, I was 17. it was the greatest moment I ever had. What a pioneer he is. OAKEY OAKEY

[@shaunrigby1]

Fantastic tune - They were good times back then

[@philrichardson99]

What a tune that is, Moogwai Viola.

[@leightonhay9298]

The builder of music beyond the rest and the teacher for the rest the one that holds the vision the rest will never see and in the years after we are past will be fully remembered as the one man who stood for dance music ahead of this time

What a gentleman

[@VicInCalifornia]

Thank you so much for doing this video and covering this song.

[@muzikxpress]

And thank you for watching! 🙌🏻

Excellent interview, I really enjoyed it. Paul was the first real rockstar DJ rubbing shoulders with U2, Madonna, The Rolling Stones. What a wonderful career he has had! So happy that you got this opportunity Twan, well done! 😊

[@zoedaymond1191]

Paul legend !! Your oo7 New York global underground mix is time less ❤

[@randyderricott]

I first heard Ready Steady Go in a car commercial when I was a kid. I didn't know it was him until years later. I first heard Southern Sun via Tiesto's remix on In Search Of Sunrise 3 and have been using it in my sets ever since!

[@muzikxpress]

That Tiësto remix is so iconic, he was amazing back then!

[@anyway00001]

Perfecto mindset! keep up the good work and inspire people

[@pgrossmsk]

No doubt , one of trance music legend . Playing my copy of southern sun vinyl and was missing that old tiesto sound . His mix on global underground 007 new york and Two Years Of Oakenfold At Cream are some of the best .

[@3316xtendedmedia]

What a great nice guy this is. Now i even respect him more

[@greyloop]

a really nice interview, thanks Twan and Paul for making this happen!

[@Alan_Watkin]

First seen Oakie in the Annex in Cream in 97 in fact seen him a few times year, hardly any room to dance but my god it used to go off, Great tunes back then

[@goatrev]

The best interview I've seen with Oaky. Thank you both.

[@muzikxpress]

Oh wow, thank you for the kind words! Always nice to read comments like this!

[@scorpius1672]

Cool interview. Paul comes across as more down to earth and likeable than i was expecting. Great work , Twan!

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you so much! And yeah, he’s great! Really had a good time, hopefully we can do more interviews next time he’s here 🤞🏻

[@Coyyyle]

Thanks for another great interview Twan! Oakenfold seems like a dream guest. He's got a lot of stories to tell, he's funny, doesn't mince his words, and it seems like he genuinely enjoys being asked about his career. Two legends!

[@showdown2006]

G&D remix is the best one but also the rarely mentioned Solarstone Afterhours mix of it is simply beautiful.

[@EnigmaState]

Absolutely brilliant! What a guy Paul is!

[@muzikxpress]

@@EnigmaState Thanks a lot! Very happy with this interview, such a legend!

[@officialsimonharris]

He's a great guy, many firsts including with rock remixes such as Happy Mondays and supporting major artists such as U2 and Madonna when no other DJ's were doing this kind of thing.

[@muzikxpress]

@@officialsimonharris yeah! A pioneer for sure! I think I first heard of him because of one of his U2 remixes or maybe the Massive (Attack) one.

[@baotcreekdisco]

Always been a fan of this legend

[@FrankBurgos]

I saw Paul Oakenfold live in Miami, I forgot the name of the club but his music is Essential, no pun intended to Dance music. He seems like a cool dude I would love to have a beer with him.

[@deancrake2665]

Used to go see him at cream Liverpool in 97 / 98 in the courtyard the whole room locked in and just travelling in unison there was people in tears at the end of the night not wanting it to end I was 17 / 18 What an era for clubbing that was ❤

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you so much George!

[@markomarkomarko]

Legend! Shaped my young music taste in Home at Leicester Square!

[@nycionx8328]

One of my favorite tracks ever! Paul also got me into this genre with Swordfish basically and other things (unreal tournament soundtrack 😁

[@SellingLAandMiami]

New Orleans…wow. New insight from such an iconic tune. Paul was the very first DJ I saw perform live which was in dt San Diego at B Street Theater on Dec 20, 2002 on Friday night. Got in for free as the employee who was working for me knew him and had a record store on England so he said. It worked. Great time. I ultimately named one of my businesses Southern Sun in LA. Thank you Paul & Carla

[@muzikxpress]

So cool to know right? That's why I love doing these interviews, finding out more about the classics I grew up with hehe. BTW, I love the part that you named one of your businesses "Southern Sun", that's great!!!!

[@SellingLAandMiami]

@@muzikxpress I really needed business cards badly in LA and I had to come up with a business name quick. I had the Bunkka cd in the car and Southern Sun was in heavy rotation and there became Southern Sun Mosaics. Did a fictitious name search and registered it with the state. We did very high-end tile installations in amazing homes. Look forward to catching up with ur interviews. Sasha was my 2nd live show, then Armin van Buuren at Circus Circus near Melrose then Paul Van Dyk at the Palladium then Above & Beyond in Newport Beach(Costa Mesa) then Paul again there too. You get it

[@muzikxpress]

@@SellingLAandMiami haha I love the story! I hope Paul reads this! 😂

[@bazs7669]

Great interview, Southern Sun and also much of the Bunkka album is beautiful. I haven’t listened to it in over 20 years! Paul comes across as humble and hard working, and is truly inspiring.

[@muzikxpress]

Glad you enjoyed it! One of my favorite interviews for sure!

[@ashleystyles6888]

Not such a fan of Paul but hey what a beautiful track. One of the best. Respect to him for that and many thanks for this scoop. Awesome! (a combination of awful and extremely worrying and sad current events, great memories, frame of mind, and reminding myself of this track by playing it by pausing at 5 minutes caused me to cry) such a powerful song.

[@borstenpinsel]

I just rediscovered this for myself. Wasn't a huge fan when it came out but now this is the definition of Ibiza summer trance (especially the Tiesto mix). So good

[@BruteWillis]

Fantastic track. I got to know "Oaky" since early years 2000's live sets which are still available everywhere. Since then I regularly listen to these Livesets just at home or when exercising. Late 90's early 2000's where the best trance release years. Everytime I listen it brings back great memories. Wish I could turn back time. Big love to Paul Oakenfold. Wish you a long healthy life. ❤️👍 Thanks again for such a great interview Twan. Greetings from Holland. 😉

[@destroyer84]

Great interview. He came off way more down to earth than I would’ve thought. Wish you had asked one question about the epic ‘99 Radio 1 world tour. Those sets in the Napster days are what really got me into trance and EDM in general.

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you! I usually mainly focus on the story behind track, since that is the whole point of my KZbin channel, but whenever there's time, I try to ask some other questions too. For this interview I had like 20 minutes, but we were already running a bit late. Paul had to go to a meeting afterwards, so we were a little bit in a rush so I did only focus on the things that (in my opinion) were the most important things to ask. Hopefully I can do 1 or more interviews next time he's in The Netherlands, which is not often unfortunately, took me a while to make this one happen too BTW ;-) But, very happy with the result, super nice and down to earth guy and really friendly and polite!

[@akerockstar]

@@muzikxpress Ah, i see! It did seem a little rushed on your end (don't mean that in a bad way, just noticed). But now I understand why after reading your post! Still an awsome interview and track!

[@4345ghee]

He’s a top bloke. Saw him few years back and we talked tranceport and ppk after the show for a few minutes. Very nearly took him up on his offer to go to his next show on that tour, just before NYE that year.

[@EDMclassics]

What a great interview Twan. Oakey was the one that got me right into the scene and into club music. In Australia our radio station JJJ use to have a show late at night in the 90's called 'Mix-up' that used to broadcast the Essential Mixes. I could not wait for the next new Oakenfold mix to drop. The days of having to stay up so as to be able to turn the tap to record the second half of the set! So many great memories of his mixes embedded into my memory ❤

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you so much! Very happy with this interview!!!

[@sunnysidey]

Great interview Twan! Paul is a legend. I was lucky enough to be dancing on his speaker at the Everest Base Camp gig after trekking alongside him for a week. He's a super guy, very down to earth and brilliantly talented.

Oakenfold’s 1st track on Tranceport (The Dream Traveler - Time) convinced me that electronic is limitless & still the best genre. Oakenfold + Southern Sun (Thomas Datt remix) = awestruck. Of the 21 electronic producers I’ve seen live since 2001, his creative mixology vs. playlist was easily top 5. Thank you for this interview and the red carpet discography credentials.

Twan, you’ve done some great interviews over the years but this one is top 3. Paul is so interesting to listen to, and he enjoys talking. Some interviews feel a bit rushed, or people are not totally comfortable being interviewed to begin with. This was so easy to watch. Any Oakenfold fans should read his book, Ready Steady Go. 10/10 , he’s a legend.

[@Arlantix]

Awesome 🙂👌🏻💫. I was looking forward to this one with Paul Oakenfold, one of the greatest of all time. I really enjoyed it 🌌. The videos & interviews that we can watch and enjoy in this fantastic channel are extraordinary. Not only do we get to know a lot of information, curiosities, anecdotes and details behind many legendary electronic music tracks & artists, but we can also learn interesting and usefuls things from it and within the spheres of music, music production, DJing and some other ones. This interview to Paul Oakenfold is really good and useful 🙂👌🏻⭐👍🏻. He opens himself in such an enriching, generous and humble manner, for us to know, to understand and to learn from his deep knowledge, vision, experience and talent. Oakenfold is such a true electronic music (and music) living legend. His influence, contributions, DJing, music productions and legacy are extraordinary. He has had a big influence and impact in many artists, music producers / music creators, DJs and music & electronic music lovers and that alone is priceless. Moreover, Paul Oakenfold is one of the very few chosen ones who can be considered the godfathers, or fathers, or creators of Trance music. He is one of the main ones who opened doors and led the way when Trance music was born, and in its later & further development and success, with a lot of talent, vision, dedication and hard work. In addition, he has managed to show the way to so many that came after him. It is amazing. Hence, he is a true music, electronic music & Trance music living legend. Electronic music & Trance music, and its fans and supporters (like myself), owe a lot to Paul Oakenfold. Also to other great Electronic music and Trance music artists, DJs & producers, some of them already big electronic music & Trance music legends (like Oakenfold) as well, such as the following: Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Airwave, LNG, Giuseppe Ottaviani, NU NRG, Franky Jones, Yves Deruyter, Axel Stephenson, Humate, Pascal FEOS / Resistance D, Petar Dundov / Unreal, ATB, Lange, Fire & Ice, Tiësto, Kamaya Painters, Above and Beyond, Ayla, M.I.K.E.

You are doing a fantastic job with your channel Muzikxpress, dude, with lots of hard work, effort & dedication and also thanks to your love and passion for good music and for high-quality electronic music. 🎛🎚🎵🎶🚀🌌 As a final comment, I would love to watch an interview from you to 'El Maestro' (the master) and legend Paul van Dyk. For example, about his superb tracks 'For an Angel' or 'Forbidden Fruit'. Or about his sublime recent SHINE remix of the legendary tune 'Energy 52 - Café del Mar'. Paul van Dyk is my all-time favourite electronic music & Trance music DJ and producer, he is such a living legend, I love his music and his DJ performances, he enables you to live and enjoy thrilling musical journeys with huge mastery, like not many. Cheers for such good videos and interviews man 🍻. For many more to come. :) Best wishes and all the best, from me. Greetings. Listen to good music!. 🙂🎛🎚🎵🎶🚀🌌 Arlantix (Alber Tito)

Thank you! I did try to get an interview with PvD twice already but unfortunately I did not get the answer I was hoping for, so I don’t think it will happen unfortunately….

[@Arlantix]

@@muzikxpress Ah, I see. But Paul van Dyk should be happy to be interviewed by you, I believe, as your interviews are really good, with relevant questions. For what I know, Paul is a great man, a down to Earth (humble) musician, artist, producer and DJ, a true music lover and, of course, a legend of both electronic music and Trance music. He is also one of the pioneers of Trance music. Maybe one day that interview with him could happen and that would be fantastic. At any rate, you have already had the chance and privilege to interview various top electronic music producers, DJs, musicians and artists, including some of the greatest of all time such as Jean-Michel Jarre, Paul Oakenfold, Ferry Corsten, Armin and Giuseppe Ottaviani, to name a few. That is amazing dude, so, again, well done. Thank you and congrats for these awesome interviews Twan, keep up the good work buddy. For many more to come 🍻. A big salute. :)

[@muzikxpress]

@@Arlantix oh I met Paul lots of times and he’s a great guy for sure, but keep in mind not every artist likes to talk about the past. I’ve had other people telling me “no” as well since they only feel like talking about current stuff and future plans. I always ask about that too of course, but the main thing about my channel is to hear the stories behind the classics. Of course I’ll respect if they don’t feel like talking about the classics, but of course it’s a bit of a shame too. Anyway, enough awesome interviews coming up and plenty in the works too!

Great interview with a great and humble man. I actually do like what he says about the industry, that its too much tracks and djs. And with Tiktok, Twitch and all that, we will see so-called djs rise and push out the good ones. Social media will win unfortenately. I will sure check out the album he mention in the last section as Im a score listener too, specially game music.
