I’d like to have seen him at Cream in its heyday.

His sets at Home were brilliant. There was none of that caricature Oakenfold,
playing the big anthems. it was pretty much over by 2000 though.
Dry-Tinder Had a quick listen to one earlier on soundcloud as a reminder. Made my ears bleed. A pitched up Ralph Fridge Angel FFS

Was at Oakies last gig as resident in Cream. Was very early days for me and didn’t appreciate it for what it was.
LOL at paying to see Oakey - a proper chancer.
Essential Mix World Tour 1999 was a brilliant selection of sets.
GU007 gets a lot of hate on here but I loved it then and still play it 2 or 3 times a year.
The last 20 years are totally forgettable of course, but he was the main main back then
First saw Oakey in the backroom at Full on 1995 May Cream. Odyssey to Anyoona banging out and it was superb. Not heard music or an atmosphere like it.
His courtyard stint was his high point and some other ones in 1999.
For a bit of nostalgia I will very occasionally listen to Cream 6th Birthday party mix only because I missed it listening to Sasha banging out most of GU San Francisco tunes in the backroom and the jaw dropping. His Gatecrasher set at Lotherton Hall in 99 was good at the time but hasn’t aged well in places.
He was generally in the right place at the right time getting a lot of stuff on his Perfecto label but technology and a change in his uniqueness disappear and Tiësto replacing him as trance supremo.
Back on topic but made it to Home when it was dying when PVD was on. Pretty sure it looked like a modern day supermarket with escalators. Great soundsytstem but bereft of Atmos.
