should i go see Paul Oakenfold spin this Saturday night in Hollywood?

Oakenfold is terrible. The music is the most mainstream, boring version or trance you will ever hear. His stage persona is repulsive and ridiculous. Do not waste your money. Oakenfold was last worth seeing in 1994 around the time of his classic Goa mix. He does Jesus poses, wears the headphones over his eyes and constantly thrusts his pelvis into the mixing desk/stand. It is truly one of the most offensive dj exhibitions I've ever witnessed.

now this advert for his tour is truly perplexing..

i bailed out on this and decided $33 was a bit too much for someone who was big about a decade or so ago.

2 decades ago!

I'm sorta surprised he's still around.

last i heard he had someone who actually djs for him and he just faffs around. this is not a joke.

Could be worse though:

Oh gawd. I think when I was like 15 this is what I thought all nightclubs were like.

superlol at the club shooting and posting that as a legit promo

lol - I think I've gotten a little obsessed with this, I've watched that Oakenfold Rocks video a few times in a row.

Aging DJs and their fans.

The list of venues on that promo Perfecto video fills me with sort of sadness and curiosity.

Yeah, they all seem fictional, like from the background of a comic book.

it always amuses me that his Movement 98 project has been airbrushed out of his history. In 1990, Oaky announced that house music was over and it was time to start a campaign for djs to play music under 100bpm again, hence his Movement 98 project and subsequent releases. The winds obviously didn't blow in his favour!
