Day 159: Paul Oakenfold

So today I finished reading Ready Steady Go, Paul Oakenfold‘s story about his (still ongoing) DJ career. Not sure how long exactly, but I think I have been following him since somewhere mid 90’s.

Book gives a nice overview about the steps in his career and some of his adventures. But in my opinion he is a bit too full of himself. He could have been a bit more modest while writing this. Nevertheless, if you are a fan of dance music like me it is a fun read.

But hey, he is a DJ/producer, so who cares? Anyway, since I just read this book it seems like a good day to share some of my favorite Oakenfold tracks or remixes.

Maybe I’ll do a favorite Oakenfold livesets in the future, there are so many great ones. But if you want to hear a great one check his mix for 25 years Essential mix.

For now I just hope you like these 10 tracks.
