Paul Oakenfold remains one of the biggest names in dance music despite the fact he doesn’t actually DJ very much these days. His contribution to the glorious history of Acid House keeps his name firmly on the lips of clubbers worldwide. From his seminal Acid House night Spectrum, through producing the Happy Mondays, DJing at Wembley Stadium with U2 and on to the groundbreaking residency at Liverpool’s Cream, Oakey has consistently been the biggest name in the biz.
Now devoting most of his time to scoring movie soundtracks and based in LA, he takes a bit of stick from some quarters of the clubbing community for his Hollywood lifestyle. But despite the trappings of celebrity, his recent biography revealed how Paul’s vision for the DJ achieving equal status of a rock band paved the way for the massive global dance culture we have today. The Tiestos and Morillos of this world own him a great debt.
Now he’s reinvigorating his Perfecto imprint by finally launching a digital side to the label. And as well as putting out classic tracks from the existing roster of world famous artists, Paul is going to use the digital brand to give exposure to a whole new generation of fresh producers...
