Paul Oakenfold chats to I Like Music

Being into all kinds of music, there were different genres that I wanted to touch on, but I only had a certain amount of time. So, I tried to give a good perception of the kind of music I grew up listening to and why I chose Madonna, which was probably not an obvious choice for some people, but for me it was, because of my involvement and how she's helped me.

ILM: I listened to the show and liked the stories you told about your choice of tracks (which included Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy, Hey Girl, Run DMC - It's Like That, Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Girl's Aint Nothin But Trouble, Bob Marley, Soul II Soul, Underworld…I can't believe your mate tripped Bob Marley up… what did Bob say?

OAKENFOLD: I thought we were going to get beaten up by the security. My friend is six foot odd and his feet are huge. I always fell over his feet; it was a standard joke. We were sitting like me and you are now (opposite each other), but we were in a club and it was a bit dark, so when he tripped Bob Marley, I was like 'Oh my God, we're going to get beaten up.' When it happened Bob carried on but he looked over. His security gave us really dirty looks. It was an accident, so there's nothing they could say about that, but we did think, 'we're going to get done in here.'
