arrakis Posted October 8 Author Report Share Posted October 8 Keep checking www.shadowlounge.com for updates... I think it's a bad choice for venue though; way too small for the oh-so-popular Oakey. Space was even near capacity for PVD, so I can't imagine lil' Shadow with the Guiness Book DJ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobeton Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 Shadow is way to small. I hope they willspare us all and give Acosta the nite off.Better yet; maybe Acosta should stick aroundand listen to Oakey. He may learn something..Peace,Sobeton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolimit Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 He's doing a mini US tour in late November. He'll be up here for the annual 'Trancegiving' along with Darren Emerson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrakis Posted October 13 Author Report Share Posted October 13 Yeah; I hear Oakey wants to "conquer" America... what an idiot. If he could only spend less time waxing his ego and concentrate a little on expanding his musical horizons (and mixing skills). I hope this country shows him what's up!------------------"House music... it can change your soul.""The second most popular game that we played as children... is house."

sobeton Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Arrakis no flame bro, but why don't you likeOakey?I know he is a bit overated, buttruth be told he is a good DJ... I have never heard him live , but everybodyI know who has ;said he is pretty good...Again bro; no flame. I think your prettydope bro. Just curious about why feel as youdo about Oakey...Peace,Sobeton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolimit Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Sobeton, its just a matter of preference. He was my favorite at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrakis Posted October 14 Author Report Share Posted October 14 Sobe, no offense taken... yeah; Oakey was my fave at one time as well. It's just that he seems to play the same anthemic tracks as always - never seeming to push it. Plus I haven't heard any good mixes from him lately. I haven't seen him live, so I really can't judge his performance. Maybe it's also that he has a huge ego, which is totally unnecessary! I'd prefer the likes of a Steve Lawler or Danny Howells who are a lot more humble, produce their own excellent music, and create amazing mixes; let alone put on top-notch performances. These in my opinion truly are the "new breed" of DJs that are pushing to the next level...------------------"House music... it can change your soul.""The second most popular game that we played as children... is house."

sobeton Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 I guess bro.. I have not heard his new album, but I would hope he has changedthings up a bit. I see alot Trance DJ'sgoing back to the roots of dance "House".For exmaple I had given up on Sasha andDigweed. Then along came "Communicate"..Maybe Oakey will start mixing differentelements in his music. Only time willtell. Just my $0.02....Peace,Sobeton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobeton Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Arrakis, I agree with you bro. Dave Seaman,Darren Emerson, Danny Howells, etc .Aremy most listen to Disc. The way theseguys layer music is truly amazing....Hopefully, Oakey will bring something new to his live set down here.Peace,Sobeton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrakis Posted October 14 Author Report Share Posted October 14 Word up; I hear ya... seems like on his new album he's incorporating elements of film music (as he did on Perfecto Fluoro) - definitely an intersting twist to so-called trance. I'd like to hear some reviews of it though... just can't get myself to spend the $ on any more of his releases when there's so many better discs out there! Sasha and Diggers have always been on the cutting edge and proved it once again w/ Communicate.------------------"House music... it can change your soul.""The second most popular game that we played as children... is house."

Nolimit Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 I heard tid bits of both of Oakie's recent releases. 'Another world' & I forget the name of the import. Nothing has changed. Same Oakie 97 style trance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twaner Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 I'm going to be in Miami for the first time that week and I am sooo psyched to go see Oakenfold! I was supposed to come earlier but saw when he was playing so I changed my trip. Does anyone know how to get tickets to this or is it just first come first served or something?

arrakis Posted October 18 Author Report Share Posted October 18 NL> You coming down here?TWA> I don't think you'll be able to buy tickets beforehand; just arrive to the club early and have some pretty ladies w/ you and you shouldn't have a problem getting in...------------------"House music... it can change your soul.""The second most popular game that we played as children... is house."

arrakis Posted October 18 Author Report Share Posted October 18 Yeah, D - I would have been surprised to see your ass fly down here just for Oakey! I would have had to rethink my opinion of you... What's wrong, the new nu-breed ain't gonna be in NYC this time around?? *hahaha*------------------"House music... it can change your soul.""The second most popular game that we played as children... is house."

twaner Posted October 19 Report Share Posted October 19 I'm not flying just for Oakey, I had my choice of when to come because my exroomate lives in South Beach but that would be an added plus for me. It was also better for me because it would it's easier for me with work to come down there at that time. Can anyone give me pointers on where to go while I'm there?
