There is a track called embracing the sunshine that is his own, other than that I don't know- but I could venture a guess and say that producing your own track is a lot harder than it seems sometimes. Perhaps some people (like Oakie) are just better as re-mixers because that is where their creativity lies, not in producing. Some djs can do both and can excel immensely, like Van Dyk, Tiesto etc... Others are better at producing music than they are at mixing stuff together, and I think Matt Darey is a great example of that. He is an excellent producer but I have always found his live sets and mixes to be a little boring.------------------"There was a time before we were born when the soul of each one of us decreed that we be brought into life. We have all made a place for ourselves on this earth, each life precious, each path different. But we all share the same goal of inner peace and it is there within us all to be discovered, and it can only be discovered through love."

bastardino Posted December 15 Report Share Posted December 15 you are all a bunch of bastards. All that DJ's are good for is putting records on and playing them. It actually takes real talent to compose something decent. None of the DJs have that kind of a talent. Im sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabrielll Posted December 15 Report Share Posted December 15 Because almost everything that you hear in an oakenfolk set has been tweeked or remixed already by himself. That is what makes him so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twilogoddess Posted December 15 Report Share Posted December 15 First off, Oakie didn't make "embracing the sunshine"....BT did. Secondly, Oakie doesn't need to make Tracks b/c he owns his record Label: Perfecto, which signs talent like Timo Maas & BT who produce tracks. HE spins the same tracks in all his sets..TRACKS THAT PERFECTO PRODUCED ie: Bullet in the Gun, It's not over Yet, Another Day, Rollercoaster, Ubik etc. "The Most Successful DJ in the World" He's a sellout....ANTHEM SPINNER! he's still spinning silence and zombie nation STRONG!PVD RULES!

icup Posted December 15 Report Share Posted December 15 YOU ALL ARE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS! first off, Oakey didn't remix Delerium at all. Fade did the first mix , then Tiesto. Second the only recent remixes he did was of U2 which was really mixed by his partner andy Gray. If you don;t believe me, go get any Andy grey remix that was done without oakey and it sounds exactly the same! and then go find a mix that oakey did without andy and you will be looking for a long ass time, cause there are none. Lastly, the reason why you cant find enough mixes that he did is plain and simple... His big ass gorilla head wont fit in the doorway!!!

Abstrakt Posted December 15 Report Share Posted December 15 Daniela,At this point in his career, its not worth it for him to make his own music from scratch. If you look at all the big DJs, you hardly see any of them producing original music, they all do remixes of other tracks, because they get paid ALOT more, plus they don't have to spend as much time. Plus Oakie probably has the most grueling tour schedule (but he plays those weak 2-3 hour sets) of the bigger DJs, along with running a record label, so time might also be a factor. But he has never been one concentrating on making music such as DT, Deep Dish or Timo Maas. Maybe thats why he doesn't make tracks from scratch.That *might* try to explain it...of course, the real reason is probably because he can't make music for shit LOL...but I doubt it.- Ali------------------This weeks gigs:Thursday - My RoomFriday - My BasementPM for Guestlist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danger powers Posted December 16 Report Share Posted December 16 from reading rescent interviews with him its probably because he has always been either touring or having residencies somewhere, he now is concentrating really hard on the states and places that aren't as familar with the scene, it takes a very long time time not to mention talent to produce your own music, sasha, who probably is one of the most talented djs out has alrady said that he will ony resident at twilo and some other place next year because he wants to get back to the studio and produce, he also said he finally feels comfortable to do this, this boy has been spinning ten years and now finally says he feels comfortable, it takes alot of skill, i hope that kind of answers your questiondp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizard Posted December 16 Report Share Posted December 16 i too thought Ali summed it up pretty well, a little more delicate maybe, than i expected.my guess would be that at some point he made attampts to create something of his own, but he couldnt get the job done. simply because he is a world renowned dj, doesnt necessarily mean he knows anything about how to compose music. here's an exapmle, a band like Green Day, they have sold millions of albums without having been able to read or write music (at least in the early stages of their career, im not certain about now). although i can't stand their version of POP PUNK, i believe they were still pretty successful selling all those records with nothing but regurgitated music. they could only play three chords or less!! and they certainly made nothing originaly in my eyes.hhhhmmmm, not sure if any of that will sink in, but i tried.peacestephen------------------we must cultivate our gardens...
