Paul Oakenfold chats to I Like Music
On October 1st, DJ legend Paul Oakenfold's authorised biography hit the shelves, followed by his Greatest Hits And Remixes album on October 31st. Paul Oakenfold is one of the biggest DJs in the world. His rise from South London soul boy to world-conquering DJ is fascinating, inspiring and revealing.
I Like Music caught up with Paul Oakenfold to talk about meeting the Queen, making and mixing music and working with legends such as Grandmaster Flash and Dr Hunter S Thompson.
I Like Music because.... it gives me the feelings and thoughts that I've never ever had in my life." PAUL OAKENFOLD
ILM: So… you're officially a LEGEND, having done a show for radio one recently alongside legends such as Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher and Blondie. How was it?
OAKENFOLD: I was honoured. I've never seen myself as a legend and I was very surprised that Radio One actually chose me with the amount of people they have to choose from, so thank you Radio One. I thought it was very important to me to choose the right records and to choose the artists that were part of our scene and the milestones in terms of certain changes in my life, also, the records that were important to me. I mean there were so many to choose from.
