Last heard Oakey live at Cream Balearic re union in 95'. He started set with Grace Not Over Yet (BT Mix). every track was a classic. Inspirational DJ/Producer with too many great mixes too mention....legend indeed. Up the Yeke yeke...
Graham,Miami Beach
If i had to pick 1 tune out of Paul's selection it has to be Grace-not of yet,i still get chills and flashbacks from over ten years ago where at the time i had to travel to Orlando to go to clubs. So many memories.Where did it all go??Nice one Radio 1.
Nikos - Greece
London, going to uni, smoking and listening to goa mix with manos in a small room. A great start for the years to follow. Thank you Paul.

Ben Schofield, Bradford
Jesus, I love Oaky!I have a CD of his which includes a remix of Justin Timberlake's 'Cry me a river'. It is awesome. I cry everytime I hear it. Wicked - Respect to Paul
Erica in Chester
We have followed Oakey for years, the tunes he has chosen have brought back memories of some of the clubs we have seen him play around the UK, I especially remember when he played Unfinished Sympathy in Cream Liverpool, it still gives me goose bumps hearing him play it again.
Rennie - Bournemouth
This show really does sum up what a legend Paul Oakenfold is and how influential he has been and continues to be.He has been involved in electronica's evolution from the very beginning.. From Acid House to Madchester right through to bringing proper Trance to the masses back in 97.. and then his remix/mixing work speaks for itself!Well done radio 1 for recognising such a person and one for my generation I feel (I'm 28!)Great show.ThanksRennie
Andrena- Ireland
An epic assortment of classically beautiful and uplifting dance tunes. Very nostalgic, lovely to hear such a legend, talk about his obvious passion for dance music. thanksAndrena
Alex. Canada
Ha sweet how he put his gao trance from 94 in there
Matt Smith, South London
Just finished his new book the day I found this show online, I am stoked by both. I really got a sense of his musical evolution with each selection, plenty of history in there. I've seen Paul play in superclubs and in tiny bars with 100 odd punters and he always delivers. A pioneer...
bill, london
I discovered the so called goa mix about a couple of years ago.. Since then I've heard it innumerable times. When I see the year being 1994 I always find it hard to believe it's been 13 years since P.O. created what is one of the best music compilations I've listened to -- ever. I'm glad he included a piece here, think it was deserved.
Colin in Milton Keynes
The 1994 Goa trance mix was brilliant and made me buy decks, still have it and it sends shivers down my spin and the memories flood back.

Truly, dance music would not be what it is today without this guy! Great spread of eclectic influences...NICE!!
A.N. Other - Exeter
A great list of music Oaky... quite right to leave the radio DJing to Tong though.
Dan Northampton UK
Was com[letely unaware Paul has had such a top career, Mixing with all the top bods.What a place to be. Fair play.
Jose Monreal, Dallas, Texas USA
Enjoyed the hour. It was intersting to hear what his thoughts about music and his accomplishments.Thank You.
Dan Wilson - Dallas, Texas, USA
Great show - took me back to being in Staffs Uni in the 90s and some of the great music from that period. Enjoyed hearing how varied Oakenfold's career has been. Born Slippy is a classic that brings back great memories.

Wow - he couldn't have picked a better selection - in fact its what I would have chosen too!
Scotti -- West Union, West Virginia., USA
Sweet tracklist!! Go Oakie, Go!
RE-303, Sheffield
Personally, I would've thought his first choice to play by the Mondays would've been his own remix of W.F.L. Completely an unforgettable track that remains in my brain for HISTORY....x Nuff respect, all the ame ;o)
Brendan - Chicago
Oakie is a legend; he didn't play his re-mix of Stone Roses' Waterfall, which is amazing in its subtlety. All of his re-mixes are 'Even better than the real thing'. Dance owes PO, big time.
Mike, Chester
i Love Paul/Oake Long hair no! Please stick to trance not rock amen Paul X
Raoul, Dublin
This guy is proper sick, much love Paul, the show was awesome!
Lucie Hey Southend on Sea
This is like the Soundtrack to my discovery of music. It shows you that from the charts (which alot of these were in) leads you to other styles of music and it helps you discover new things. Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oakenfold spins - love the music love the commentaryhappy birthday R1 & thanks for the years.
Jake Williams (British bloke in Toronto)
When seeing the line up for legends, I was especially interested in seeing what Oakey would pull from his crates .It Must be a difficult choice considering all the classics he has had a production credit on... so a few non surprises but all cuts were quality reminders of his forward thinking and his invitation to rightfully shelter under the umbrella of other 大象传媒 chosen legends. Great tunes鈥reat DJ/Producer and all in all a nice trip down memory lane. Class!!
Alan Tinsley, Liverpool
His collection of tunes shows why he's one of if not the most successful dj/producer of all time.
