BT on Oakey

[LAClubber]

Hey Everyone!

Does anyone happen to have a link to Brian's recent bashing on Oakenfold's productions? I'm curious to hear/read his thoughts.

Oakey's set up to do a live PA at a club in the States. Not sure how to read into that. I have to admit my first reaction was intrigue.

Any thoughts from the worldwide trancer collectif?

Here are excepts from the bt interview where he bashes Oakey. Some of it is so funny I nearly fell out of my chair!!!!

I include the link for the full interview also:

Lunar: That's cool. Now, with IMA you created songs that were very classic progressive house sounds, with the ESCM album you merged like a new-age world music sound with electronic music and elements of rock and ethnic, and with Movement in Still Life you sort of went for the jugular and created an album that could appeal to a more dance oriented listener. Would you attribute your album transitions to anything other than a progression within yourself?

BT: Well, the jump between the records, especially between ESCM and Movement in Still Life was really just sort of a new found freedom getting out of my situation with Perfecto and a reaction to not having Paul Oakenfold not understand what I was doing, that I had to make records that sounded like fucking La Bouche, and just getting to do what I really do which is very eclectic.



Lunar: Right, so when you DJ does your style stay characteristically your sound or do you just play all over the place?

BT: Oh it's all over the place, but the two things that I primarily play are funky breaks and sort of emotional, progressive stuff. But not like the fucking Oakenfold-style, you know-a little more classy.



Lunar: So how do you find that the crowd responds compared to a live performance?

BT: They go spastic dude! It's insane, it's crazy. I think that it's fun for crowds too because they're used to a lot of DJs, I mean either you have like Jesus Christ Superstar Paul Oakenfold doing his hanging from the cross thing, or you have people that totally don't interact with the audience at all. There's nothing really in between, and I just go and I don't take it serious. I just go and have fun. I keep getting in trouble for doing this, but during records that I really like I'll run out in the audience, which has happened to me many times now, and the place just goes spastic. They're like "Holy shit!" I mean, I just have fun dude.




Agree or disagree?
