2024 still listening. best mix ever.
i agree , from Budapest
I agree, from Detroit.
I agree, from Kelowna
Oaky has like 6 sets from 99' that are so incredibly good. So many friends have their 'iconic' set from that year, its incredible. Gatecrasher, Creamfields, Shanghai, Ibiza, Havana, Homelands. Even at 39 I will still go and see him if he is playing near me, and 90% of the time its new stuff.....but one time a few years ago it was literally all classics.
@@robarcy 99 was the peak of civilization, I am sure of it
Im just in tears listening to this Set. Realizing my life is half way though (if im lucky). Been to so many raves and parties. Met so many people. The fun, the highs and even the lows. Life was just so amazing. So fresh, so much to discover. Yet here I am now, stuck in my home.. unbale to enjoy good parties because im just done. Not even this virus but just the entire mindset of people. Lost many friends and family. The music doesnt give me these feelings anymore. My mind is blank. Memories starting to fade away. It hurts to get up. It hurts to go to sleep. What the fuck happend to me, to society. Where did it all go wrong? Its like there is nothing but rage and anger. Maybe it just me. But I would love to see social media go away and make people
Go out again. Experience life as its suppose to be. In stead of living through your phones. Sorry for this rant. Im just having a mental breakdown.. thats what this music does. It takes me back to better times. Such good times. Yall kids better live your life. Its gonna be over before you know it. Bless anyone who understands my feelings.
I don't know you but I am sending you love in these strange times. the human spirit has not been completely killed yet, as bleak as things may seem right now i know things will look up. take care of yourself and all the best.
@@RelightwithKat thanks. That means a lot to me..
And that, right there, is why I am here. I have nothing but respect for you. Wishing you all the best. You should feel honoured to hear this from Thornhill’s very own.
I’m with you. ‘99 was an amazing year for me. The older we become the more numbed we are. To lose connection with emotion. Compressed within an existence of just existing. This kind of music takes you elsewhere. I wish you well and truly hope that you find a way through.
U need 2 get your shit together....if you cannot see the beauty, how can you make it for others?
When this aired I was 28 years young, 11/2020 turning 49 yo! Anyone other mid-lifers still listerning to latest 2020 dance trance electronica? Hell yeah! 1999, what a great year to be alive!
I was there from early '95 to early '01. Every year the music got better and better. At least we have great memories that we can never forget. PLUR.
hi, 1985 here
yah I was 23 yo in 2000, amazing times to be alive
I’m 37 I was in 8th grade when I heard this mid around 1998 and 1999 those were the best years ever!!!
Shriller, digweed, Paul, atb man o man how time flys!
Quarantine, April 2020. Still one of the best sets. Ever.
100% agree absolutely LEGENDARY!
Indeed
@@johnnybegood9560 Its Jamie Davies how are you doing Johnny Be Good Brother?
Quarantine May 2020, and still !!
@@omerbasith Its Jamie Davies are you alright Living Room Ace mate?
More than two decades later and still on point.
From back in the day! When trance was trance, house was house and vinyl was everything. I know it’s a human tendency to enshrine the past as we all march to our inevitable deaths, but damn this WAS an epoch time to be on the dance floors and overall it’s an exciting time to be alive.
So glad to say I WAS THERE!!!!#
Who else ripped this from Napster onto a CD-R back in the day? #1 Essential Mix episode by far. What a time to be alive.
This one is a classic. I have heard it 1000s of times. Banging...
Crazy to think I listened to this mix from my home in England back when it was recorded and aired on BBC Radio 1 shortly after I turned 19...and now I'm watching it 20 years later accompanied by a video of driving round where I now call home in Toronto...
Same sentimental feeling inside me,same class
great listening, peace u.k
Cheers from TO! Best Oakenfold mix he ever did. Feeling nostalgia, looking for oakenfold tracks (Eisbaer) and came across this gem!
Keep on dancing my friends!
No way, I live in Toronto too! I remember listening to this mix many times when I was a little kid back in 2002-03 or something like that. I was introduced to trance at a very young age, and this particular mix has stuck with me for all these years!
Synchronist you are
This mix could have came out today and everyone who doesn't know about it wouldn't believe it. Paul made music way ahead of its time. Damn great mix!!!!!!
Too much nostalgia. Hurts my heart
Yeah it doesn't just bring tears it hurts my heart as well as well as the soul. But at the same time I f****** love it and can't turn it off
Isnt that true man.
just be happy you lived through the real times.
I was a Trance DJ around them times in the UK i had a gig in Washington DC bless my brother in law at the time he'd never heard of the music i played before man he was my biggest fan up until he passed away. He would blast my mixes everywhere he went bless his soul.
Meesoosolly respect
GODRestyou,the gift of rest for the soul is the Trance set
Bless him
I felt that bro.
He had good taste then 😄
This is my favorite Oakenfold mix ever made! Can't believe I found it again.
Same here!
I know I lost it then found it again, it might be my favorite mix ever made in any genre ever... this was godly and still is.
True!
That feeling when you find an old mix. I have been looking for one for years and i think it's lost forever
c`heckn out Sydney set radio one essentials, round about same time.....my fav by far,,,,and in ways around for them live
This is Oakenfold at his very best, when he could weave his way through heavenly melodies, dirty breaks and big room anthems seamlessly. I close my eyes and listen to the first twenty minutes of this and I can feel the warm Ibizan breeze, see the dark starry skies and I feel like I'm 18 again - no worries, no cares, no problems. What a time to be alive it was.
What is so special about Ibiza and where does Ibiza exist? Is it an island? Sorry for my ignorance. I remember that the prodigy made a song called Ibiza and it was pretty cool
yea its an island, and its special for clubbers cause alot of legendary sets happened back in the day there@@raiden72
@@raiden72 Ibiza, Spain. "The party capital of the world"
i'm 30, born in 1991. when all this music was popping, i was like 6. my uncles were big ravers in university at the time, when they used to come home trance and this kind of music was played in their cars and in their bedrooms. although i was 6, this set is very nostalgic for me, it reminds me of an endless childhood summer. i've been to a lot of raves and parties but not one with music like this, i hope there's a massive trance reunion or gig and we can allg go and enjoy the vibes!
Tauba Sabah. You shouldn't be going to raves 😂
🤔 44
If it was possible to turn back the clock, I would. 1999 my life started, and with this music!
This mix has been sequenced into my DNA and my soul
Same here.. it lives in my blood
Love u both cuz I remember candy flipping with some really good MDMA Amsterdam shamrocks and some of the best ketamine I've ever had in my life blasting this out in August of 1999 at a rave called Era in Pittsburgh

I don't usually like trance, but this mix is a true masterpiece. I remember downloading it from napster almost 20 years ago, and since then I listen to it along with the 2001 essential mix by Richie Hawtin. Sorry for my low level of English.
Great set and equally good written English!
IT'S GREAT ENGLISH
I agree totally. I’ve always felt this is Oakenfold’s greatest recorded set and there are so many to choose from. Musically and harmonically it’s just on a whole different level. It’s masterful and I think of it more as a composition than a set. I truly wish I’d been there to experience it live.
I found it in the same place. This is my favorite edm set of all time.
Came up in my feed, (I'm in my mid-40's) its now 2021, this is still the high water mark for Oakenfold, one of the best. You get older, priorities in life change, but this never (ever!) gets old.
I'm right about the same age and I'm right on track with ya!
yeah man...a little bit younger but you are 100% accurate...this also randomly popped up in my feed and I have such a sense of nostalgia...I remember hearing this for the first time and my mind was blown...
HEY SHUT UP
Almost 2020 and still one of the best I ever heard...
EMERGENCY TRANSMISSION: DO NOT ENTER 2020. RECOMMEND DIRECT LEAP TO 2021.
@@josephastier7421 Cancel that and rewind to 99.
For ever
agreed!
@@josephastier7421 If only you knew what 2021 would bring ..
This is why we ❤ Paul Oakenfold .....just let yourself go and wake up to the uniquely beautiful all loving you the world is trying to suffocate.. here's loving all you❤p.s.you've got to admire the timing of the sun coming up ... perfectly intime with the awesome selection when facing 🎉🎉
Keep coming back to this...an absolute audible treasure for all time!
This set for me has always been the absolute best I've ever heard. I remember running across this back in 00' and it has been in my playlist ever since.
I was born in 94, so this is definitely before my generation. However, even though most electronic music I listen to sounds different, and is from later on, I instantly recognized that this is a classic. The quality and composition of this mix is just amazing, and should be appreciated by any electronic music fan
dig into the classic trance then, and enjoy the ride :-) maybe starting with the artists and record labels featured in this mix. also check out the Global Underground mixes from back then, Oakey, Sasha and loads more. So much really good music there. Have fun!
WHO LISTING in August 2024?????🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Who's here after watching him live on twitch during the COVID 19 shut in on March 28 2020? All of those old records he was playing brought me back to an easier time in the 90s. Stay safe everyone!
I've had it off of Napster, but was hesitant to upload.
Sooooo good, still 20 years later!
I knew who he was but never heard many of his mixes. Just a few tracks really. Heard him play on a Beatport 24 hr show with other DJs and it was the sickest mix! Now I've been going into his other stuff. Tranceport has now became one of the best mix CDs I've heard and now finding more of his stuff. It's unreal. This music is timeless
Absolutely one of the best sets ever recorded! Would have killed to be one the people listening to this live!
have done but dont knock pure concentration in ya bedroom
100% bud. While we were far from Ibiza during the recording, one night on the radio turned into an entire summer of magic
Still sounds better than half the shite today timeless mix.
Still have the burned CD's of this mix in a old book full of similar EM gems, but this one is truly special.! Top Oaky for sure. One the the best driving, raving, life mix of all times!
I have originals haha
This is true Oaky style. The man is a genius... I think I have all of his EMs on a CD in my car still :D
@@TheWhoppie same all in my car listening everyday. Oakey is the best
The set is absolutely timeless, we have 2023 it could also come from this year.
Great Paul
2021 Wow I remeber this from my older brother ... I was 11-12 in 1999 and wow what a time to be alive ... Much love from a Sicilian ❤️✅👍🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And Wow IT was (&still is despite the Darkness)🙏Fratello💖&✌️from IAMSTERDAM 😎
I love how much soul was in this trance music, these DJs know how to lay it down, respect 2024.
One of the masterpiece sets of all time.....can never get tired of it
Great memories. Ive lived. Thanks to all who made it happen. Thanks for the great memories. I wish that everyone could experience those days. In moderation of course. What a time.
1999.. I was 22 years old!! (Sigh) still listen to it like the first time. 43year old and still get goosebumps,at minute 32:00.. many things to remember.
23 years later and it still kicks like a mule
Very few people understand that feeling in their mind and brain it's like a lucid dream you don't know how it happened but it did and only now can we connect together and talk about these things because even fifty years ago nobody could it's beautiful
How many Djs nowadays would have the balls to play the same song twice in the same set. Oakenfold was the man
+
you so right . any dj play the same track. paul epic
I actually do play the same track in the same set every once in a blue moon…specifically because of Oakenfold. Different versions/mixes of the same track, but yeah…what balls this legend has to do it first /best
Now they all quickmix. Even Tiesto at EDC averaged just 90 seconds per track! Everyone has ADHD and can’t just enjoy the moment so they cater just to the crowd. Sad.
...and what a song..Masterpiece!
2023 52 years old now, raving in my living room with my dog, how things have changed, i want to be in the 90s again when people really knew how to party
GOAT of essential mixes...
Good trance music is like an out of body experience. It's like you lose your surroundings and get transported to another place where the music just takes over everything.
described perfectly,for real🙏👍
This is still the most beautiful mix I've ever heard.
I always sit straight up in my chair for the Lange mix of Brainchild - Symmetry C. What a great set.
Just wanted to thank the uploader for this. Haven't heard this in forever and was so happy to find a version that wasn't bogged down with goddamn generic youtube ad trash. For rule dude, you rule.
Foreal
This is the first electronic set I listened from start to finish. I was in college in 2004 and a friend gave those cds. I couldn't believe how amazing it was that each song followed the other like the other piece of a puzzle, the other turn of the same.
Until then I could not understand why people bonded so much on music settings like raves.
20 years after... I now know
This is the way!
Was thinking, "ooo a driving video, wonder if I'll be able to figure out where it was filmed." The car then immediately pulls out in front of the CBC building, where I worked when this mix was originally recorded.
saw the first cab and knew it was proudly a Canuckian production :)

Paul oakenfold - legend.
Almost x-mas 2020!
Rediscovering this mix. Brings back those great memories of listening to the radio... "thisss is the essential mix.... live from ibiza"
Good times, just close my eyes and teleport to 1999.
Almost xmas 2021 and still rocking.
Paul is a Great DJ. Legend .
Quarantine, 18 Dec 2020 epic. Still one of the best sets. Ever.
God!!!! Bullet In The Gun one of the best track of the history! And Paul one of the best for ever.
Yesssss!
one of the best mixes EVER!! Long live Oaky!
From Cassettes, to CDs, to USBs, Ipods, drives and clouds..this mix is always in my reach.
What a great mix, what a great era, back when people went out and just jammed the night away
Precies Etienne!
I first heard this set back in 99/2000 and it changed everything. I had never even heard of Ibiza. It sounded like this mystical island in the middle of the Mediterranean ppl like me in the States could only dream of going too. Well that dream for me finally came true 15 yrs later when I visited in 2016. It was everything I thought it would be & then some. Eating dinner at Cafe Mambo watching the sunset on the Northern part of the island. Seeing Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike at Amnesia. Getting to visit Space like a month or so before it closed down. Seeing Hardwell at Ushuaia. The beaches. The scenery. I need to go back. Fyi, the essential mix in Havana, Cuba might be better than this mix.
The ultimate high and Oakey at his best and he will confirm was cream at the nation in Liverpool was his favourite place and Liverpool always pump out the best music thats why he became the resident dj and he and all of us missed the best club ever
The GREATEST!!!! OAKEY!!!! I remember at Shadow Lounge Miami... Loved EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!! "AM I ON PAUSE"!!!!!
Paul mixed on that day as if our and all other lives depended on it,
Still goosebumps and beautiful memories on this one
Coming from home @Space Ibiza♡♡♡
I've just trained at the gym with this playing on my phones... wow.. what a journey ... what a workout!!
SPACE was my favorite club in Ibiza because you went there at 8am and there was this huge platform that they moved out on to the dancefloor that had one of them big thick gym mats on top and people were just lying all over it coming on from the party sweeties ;) You were indoor until about 12noon, then you went outdoors to this open area where they continued the party so essentially you could club almost 24/7 .
You would start out at about 7pm to get to Cafe Del Mar or Mambo which was a little hard to find the first time you go. There you watch the sun set which is awesome to see, then when it turns dark all these people appear juggling fire and hoops of fire, it's insane. I loved Cafe Del Mar because the toilet was all mirrors, the floor , roof, walls. So by 8-9pm you are in the west end clubs like Play 2 where they had a lazer show and other small clubs/pubs that if you bought 4 beers you would get a free 70cl of vodka, peach snaps etc so you just bought 8 beers and got 2 70cl bottles for next to nothing then later you would head to places like Es Paradise , Pacha etc which were like £40 door fee and £8 a pint of beer, insane yes? Anyway you would be there until about 6am then head to the Starbar and everyone suddenly jumps in all these taxis that arrive 10mins before Space opens and that's when you head there. I think the outdoor part was open until about 4pm then you move on to a beach party lol
What year were you experiencing this? I arrived late to Ibiza and I've not seen Space during the day, just club nights.
@@stevenross-watt8640 the end of the 90s that’s a shame they don’t do that anymore as i thought that was the greatest thing ever , being able to go to a club like that through the day
you lived the life man..superb memories
That sounds like it would take a hell of a lot of coke man.. happy you lived the dream tho 👍
God bless the person who uploaded this timeless unappreciated gem
In what universe is the under-appreciated?! This is collectively known as one of the greatest sets of all time. EVERYONE was listening to this constantly in the late 90s and early 2000s.
December 2020,loving the old essential mixes all over again. Staying up to tape them on a 2hr cassette tape! Fabuloso!
That first tune is mint. Late 90s raving was amazing! Close your eyes and reach for the lasers.
Damn Peak Oaky right here, absolute master class in track selection, each one perfectly flowing into the next, filled with ups and lows, classics strewn throughout. Perfect mix. Miss this era of DJing man, the late 90s really did have it going on.
Touche Bro!!!!
this, havana mixes, miami 1999... they are regularly on my playlists... What Oakenfold did then is timeless, pure magic
OMG been looking everywhere for this legendary mix!! I used to play it so many times on my shitty mp3 player back when i was still in school 20 years ago.. Man, time flies..
This never gets old it stands the test of time like the pyramids..i remember always choosing this one to rollerblade my baby boy in his stroller next to the ocean and I felt like I was going to lift off and fly🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
He is still doing some mixes now and he was ahead of time and TV and movies are still using his old stuff now, I was a big follower and got to know him and I never missed a night at cream when he was resident and his music was a story for the intelligent, no one at present would understand that only us and you will still listen in another 20 /30 years as I can only listen to Oakey
🤯😵👽🧙♂️🧚♀️💃🕺👥🧘♂️🙏💗👀😎🤩😎😙😎😲😎🤗💞👁️💕💖👥👥👥🌞💊💊🗿✊✊🏿
Any way you look young I'm the same age as Oakey and I was there at the beginning when he started till the last night of the cream
@@bra8550 Nice I'm about to turn 43..thats amazing some things just never get old like good timeless music and timeless souls..peace and favor and many more years of good people and good music to you🎶🎶🎧😎
@@crystaldawn8875
Thanks for the reply you don't look like anywhere 40s but I wish I could have taken you to the nation cream and we would of had a good boogie and you could of gone and stood in the dj stand and been next to him as he would let any of my friends did, anyway I have some of his new stuff but I could send you, but I don't how, he sent them to me last year and not been for sale as yet but he is busy mixing for famous artists and movies, take care

Top ten trance sets ever. Maybe top 5. Definitely reflective of happier, less confusing times. Respect 🫡 to you Mr. Oakenfold. True legend!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
gracias por la lista
An ode to the time when I lived in Toronto and drove to this beautiful music.
This was one of the first sets that made me love this music. Just perfect.
Dr. Oakenfold takes us on real journeys that last with the times.

😍🎧Music is the closest thing we’ll experience to time travel. I throw on some headphones, close my eyes... 💥 I know exactly where my mates n I were when we heard this mix. While Driving Mitsubishis. ;) And the hours we all danced our arses off. Some of the best years of my life. 😎🎧
Me too. Mitsubishi, can't believe u brought that up. Best times.

hey dude - i hear you - i'm 54 now and don't remember much else of 97-00 except all-night trance & FUN all over SE asia. Best time ever. Now kids work, belly and bald...it's all gone wrong pete tong! but hang in there. I took my family to Koh Samui last year, and that vibe is still there! in Bangkok too. They don't mind old ravers still tapping their toes to cracking tunes. & don't stress about the external world, it's not more messed up now than it was then, it just feels like it. throw your phone away. Maybe revisit your old haunts and the memories will come flooding back - tell me when, I'll meet you there! :)
Hands down the best mix I ever heard
One of the best 100% agree.

@Xtreme Performance I would imagine it would end...
1: Oakenfold
2: AVB
3: Tiesto
This intro is legendary. Can't get any better than this.
I do love that Balearic sound.... But, IMHO, the best mix ever goes to James Holden Balance 005, Disc 1. That is an absolute masterpiece. However, I am partial to the more "Prog"-y sound. That of course does not take away from Oaky at his peak circa 99-00, when trance was in it's Golden Age. I certainly miss those days!

Cупер сэт, впервые его услышал в 2002, с тех пор слушаю, когда скучновато и хочется летнего позитива!
This is my flying music. I have it on an old Ipod. I only have the second half, but I still love this mix. Sounds great on noise canceling headphones, especially when you are going on a vacation!
This set is Classic immediately recognizable by opening song. Once waiting in line to get in to Winter Conferece in Miami someone began whistling opening tune and entire crowd picked it up and carried on with it. Okie at its peak amazing to hear. One of my favorite summer sets ever, always brings back feelings of Ibiza summer vibe.
That voice is so nostalgic I'm glad I was able to remember about this, space Ibiza had the best sets. Long live oakenfold!! 2022
One of the greatest trance sets of all time. Thank you for the upload, really takes me back.
“I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.” -Andy Bernard
OMG, Thank you!!!! UA-cam!!! Had this Mix way back when, and lost the CD! Time went on and it became a distant memory...you have found me once again! Perfecto!
Lord Oakenfold still reigns supreme on the decks! Relevant back then, relevant today... timeless!
Reminds me of my senior yr in highschool. Oakenfold was the reason i started spinning trance when i was a freshman.
One of the best mixes in the Universe
The mid to late 1990s marked a significant era in the evolution of trance music, with artists like Paul Oakenfold at the forefront of this genre. There are several compelling arguments that support the notion that this period represents the golden age of trance music. Firstly, during this time, trance music experienced a surge in popularity and creativity, with artists experimenting with new sounds and techniques to push the boundaries of electronic music.

It is 2020 and I am still dancing with this mix 👏👏
I saw this live on 3 hits of acid. So lucky to have experienced that.
I am so jealous. I guess you had the best trip of your life.
20 lat minęło a wciaz mnie kreci tak samo. Ogień!!

Brings back memories from Ibiza
The best trance set of all time
An incredible journey of sound and travel through one of the most beautiful cities in the world!! To all who find this I wish you well and enjoy!!! Big Ups to the poster!!!
Crazy--Paul Oakenfold! I remember seeing him perform at a uni party in Oxford back in late 1995. Epic!
From June 2050, I can say this is every bit as dope as during those halcyon days of the late 1900s and early 2000s.
Iconic music forever paul
Quality from start to finish, nice one Oakey.
Haven't heard this mix in 15 years- transition at 30:10 brings it all back. Nothing but rock and rap in the weightroom by day, but oakenfold ruled the night on my college football team. Now me and my kids are dancing on a quarantine work break
Amazing set from Great Paul Oakenfold! Lovely!
you cannot emphasise how unreal this set is, the way the set is crafted particularly the second half and the tune selection towards the finale. he really nailed the living daylights out of it
I’ve been listening to this mix since 2005 and thank you for making a street video for it ♥️
this mix has burned into my brain. i think this was one of my first napster downloads :-) EPIC
I was there.. 20 years ago
The Napster, soulseek and audio galaxy days......was a student then so we had to take turns in overnight downloads on the 56k modem.....to wake up in the morning and find the connection had been lost mid download....
Shawn Fanning should be granted sainthood for Napster.
I've listened at least 500 times to this mix back in the days
