Agreed Amps. I just hope he’s not reading this thread on his iPhone as he swings depressed in the tyre hanging from the tree in his garden

    Oakey is a massive cunt but I loved Sessions 2 at the time, and still go back to regularly.

    GU007 is an embarrassing crock of shite though

      303abuser might be a good board mix contest, see who can put gu007 together better than oakey. although with that track selection, you back is already up against the wall. 🤣

      😂

      A great idea though. A re-mix your shittest GU CD comp

          Just listened to Sydney again and firmly in the Amps camp on this one. CD2 is defo the better mix for me

          I enjoyed Oakie’s Tranceport when it came out, but pretty sure that was an album intended to break through with US audiences (was it even marketed in the UK?). Didn’t take any chances with that mix. Wasn’t familiar with trance music so the songs were fresh and interesting for me back in 1998 - a break from House and DNB, anyway. Still like Sasha’s mix of Gus Gus, “Greece 2000”, and PVD’s kickdrums. “Gamemaster”, on the other hand, is idiotic.

          EDIT Skimming now the mixing isn’t bad if very safe. But I don’t really mind a DJ letting the songs breath if it’s obviously a Greatest Hits album.

          Dubman you’re welcome, the offer stands if you want it. i have it as i’m a bit of a collector, but i haven’t played it in 20 years. i’ve had other people give me records i couldn’t find, i see it as paying back the universe. if you’ll give it a good home, you can have it. 🙂

              Mad_Cyril i was joking, but it’s not a half bad idea. i’d love to see the results.

                mono-stereo the goa mix? haven’t listened in ages, but i think that was about his peak, unless my memory is way off. which is quite possible.

                  Perfecto Fluoro was an absolute banger, don’t care if Oakey’s mixing is off.

                  Forget Goa which is great, this is easily one the best EM’s ever. Wore it out in the car. Work of art
