      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.

    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’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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

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!

    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. Paul Oakenfold, often referred to as the "Godfather of Trance," played a pivotal role in shaping the genre and bringing it to a wider audience through his innovative productions and DJ sets.Additionally, the mid to late 1990s saw the emergence of iconic trance anthems that have stood the test of time and continue to be celebrated today. Tracks like "Café del Mar" by Energy 52 and Oakenfold's remix of "Southern Sun" are regarded as classics within the trance community, capturing the essence of the genre and defining its sound for years to come.Furthermore, this period witnessed the globalization of trance music, with events like Oakenfold's legendary sets at Ibiza's Amnesia nightclub attracting fans from around the world and solidifying trance as a global phenomenon. Oakenfold's influence extended beyond the club scene, as he played a key role in bringing trance music to mainstream audiences through collaborations with artists from various genres and appearances on popular radio shows and movie soundtracks.In conclusion, the mid to late 1990s, spearheaded by artists like Paul Oakenfold, represents the golden age of trance music due to its cultural impact, creative innovation, and timeless contributions to the genre. This era continues to be revered by fans and musicians alike as a period of unparalleled excitement and inspiration in the history of electronic music.
