Trance lovers: Listen now!

[ScottyB]

For you old schoolers, Paul Oakenfold posted up on his face page a soundcloud link to the very first Radio 1 Essential Mix he produced from 20 years ago. He also has commentary during the set which give you a glimpse into his head when putting it together. Pretty cool, because the Radio 1 EMs were a really important part of the development of my love for trance and EDM. Those mixes got me through a lot of tough times in college, no joke. I even ripped one of AVB's first ever big premier sets on Radio 1 myself and lost it years ago after my hard drive crashed. I listened to that set every single night when I was going to sleep of my sophomore - senior year. Fortunately I had sent it out to a couple of friends and last year after a facebook APB one of them happened to find it in an old external drive and sent it over to me. If any of you guys ever want to hear it let me know and I can send it your way somehow, I may be one of the only people who ever made an MP3 of that set.

Anyway here is the Oakenfold set <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://soundcloud.com/pauloakenfold/paul-oakenfold-radio-1-34">https://soundcloud.com/pauloakenfold/pa ... radio-1-34</a><!-- m -->

yes! that's 7 flavors of awesome. i may need to bug you for that set.

most of my favorite shows from the old days are Radio 1 or Ministry of Sound stuff. you really had to hunt down the mp3's, it was tough to find good ones of those shows. Oakenfold was one of the first guys I really followed along with Pete Tong, Judge Jules, PVD, etc.


getting back to the present...can't get enough of this one:
