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.
@phill unrau - It's the Greater Toronto Area. The driver goes from one city to another, then to another, then to another. At 36:40, you can see the CN Tower and then again at 1:36:05.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Damn im getting old but the music isnt..i will carry this in my dna and as I cross beyond the veil..where I return to a dancing beacon of light🌌🌅🌠🌟🌠☄🌠☄
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...
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!
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
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.
This is still one of the very best mixes ever. 25 years later and it's pure magic. ps: Go listen to his Home@Sydney mix from same year also, more magic.
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!
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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!!!!!!
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

The Source - "Fly Away" This Paul Oakenfold set I've listened to about 1000 times, it was my favorite of his 1999 World Tour mixes for such a long time, one massive track after another.
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 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
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.
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
@@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
@@tom-foil This is Northern Exposure - what really good progressive trance sounded like in 1996. Starts slow, banging in periods, great to listen to even after all these years. th-cam.com/video/aaY3spCDdpY/w-d-xo.html
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 🎉🎉
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
@@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 Graham 💃🕺
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.
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.
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..
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.
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.
😍🎧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. 😎🎧
Love old skool Oakenfold....he was the man when progressive trance was big in the 90s. Such an epic mix of pure nostalgia for me. Wish i was young and care free again. Im 40 now and feel so old lol.
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 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!
Sat listening to this june 9th 2023 in the garden with a beer . Oakey is back playing in Liverpool tomorrow for one night i get to be 18 again. These songs / mixes have been my growing up . ❤
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!!!
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.
This is Toronto, Canada! recognized the location at 40:49 when the car pulls up to Hotel Fairmont Royal York right next to the Union Railway Station, stayed in that hotel for a week a few months ago..
Even in a year of incredible Essential Mix after incredible Essential Mix, this one was special. Was 17 when it was released, never yet made it to Ibiza, but danced and danced everywhere else for 5 years. Great days.

I was about to comment the same thing. Who knew this shit would change my life
Lol napster!
this is the best dj mix set ever made
i think i got it from IRC and then soundforge to split it apart ready to burn to CD-R :)
But I only had it on a single 90 minute CD... so I never knew the last few tracks existed until TH-cam.. thank you!
2024 still listening. best mix ever.

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.

Well, icq was more of a thing for me...
Social media now occupies the time people used to go dancing and meeting in public environs. Social apps are less social but highly commercial.
And people can't put their phones down at a concert to just BE THERE and feel the music.

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!

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🙏👍
The set is absolutely timeless, we have 2023 it could also come from this year.
Great Paul
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!
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.
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.
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
From Cassettes, to CDs, to USBs, Ipods, drives and clouds..this mix is always in my reach.
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!!!!!!
Paul oakenfold - legend.
An ode to the time when I lived in Toronto and drove to this beautiful music.
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.
Dr. Oakenfold takes us on real journeys that last with the times.

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 Paul Oakenfold set I've listened to about 1000 times, it was my favorite of his 1999 World Tour mixes for such a long time, one massive track after another.
Thanks..🥴
You sir deserve a medal!
I've been after this tracklist ever since this mix was released way back.. Thank you Sir!!!
@@brandmotivo that's a great pick, one of my favs from the tracklist for sure. My personal fav is Symmetry C
Freefall feat. Jan Johnson - "Skydive [Pappa & Gilbey Mix]" is also known as the "Mara remix"
th-cam.com/video/jUAN7BFJGEU/w-d-xo.html
God!!!! Bullet In The Gun one of the best track of the history! And Paul one of the best for ever.
Yesssss!
Cупер сэт, впервые его услышал в 2002, с тех пор слушаю, когда скучновато и хочется летнего позитива!
That first tune is mint. Late 90s raving was amazing! Close your eyes and reach for the lasers.
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
Paul is a Great DJ. Legend .
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 😎
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!
What a great mix, what a great era, back when people went out and just jammed the night away
Precies Etienne!
One of the masterpiece sets of all time.....can never get tired of it
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 👍
20 years today and still the best mix ever
What i was missing for 20 years cause i just discovered it a few weeks ago.
It's a great mix, but ref "best mix ever" Northern Exposure (North) and Digweed Global Underground Travelogue (Sydney, GU006, CD2) would like a word !
@@danjsy Do you have a link please ?
@@tom-foil This is Northern Exposure - what really good progressive trance sounded like in 1996. Starts slow, banging in periods, great to listen to even after all these years. th-cam.com/video/aaY3spCDdpY/w-d-xo.html
@@tom-foil ...and this is Digweed GU Sydney CD2. Deeper, with bangers all the way through ! th-cam.com/video/M513xPpncW8/w-d-xo.html
The most beautifully compiled Progressive Trance mix on the planet! God how I miss 1999 !
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 🎉🎉
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
This is still the most beautiful mix I've ever heard.
Lord Oakenfold still reigns supreme on the decks! Relevant back then, relevant today... timeless!
Quarantine, 18 Dec 2020 epic. Still one of the best sets. Ever.
one of the best mixes EVER!! Long live Oaky!
this, havana mixes, miami 1999... they are regularly on my playlists... What Oakenfold did then is timeless, pure magic
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.
I've just trained at the gym with this playing on my phones... wow.. what a journey ... what a workout!!
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
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.

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..
I love how much soul was in this trance music, these DJs know how to lay it down, respect 2024.
December 2020,loving the old essential mixes all over again. Staying up to tape them on a 2hr cassette tape! Fabuloso!
Crazy--Paul Oakenfold! I remember seeing him perform at a uni party in Oxford back in late 1995. Epic!
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!!!!
The GREATEST!!!! OAKEY!!!! I remember at Shadow Lounge Miami... Loved EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!! "AM I ON PAUSE"!!!!!
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.
😍🎧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.
This REALLY is essential, such melodic music, great beats!
Like you travel between the universes
Opening a club and this is what it will be based on No rap, no pop, juuuuussssttttt lights and music
Do you need an experienced sound & light engineer/ ??
Where's your club?
All the Best! Best Music Ever!!
Right on Rob, I dream of doing the same...with a really high quality sound system and me running my own lights like I used to. :)
GOAT of essential mixes...
Love old skool Oakenfold....he was the man when progressive trance was big in the 90s. Such an epic mix of pure nostalgia for me. Wish i was young and care free again. Im 40 now and feel so old lol.
Mam 62 lata kiedyś słuchałem Jean Michel Jarre i wtedy ta muzyka mnie uspokajała
Ta daje takiego powera że aż miło.
I always sit straight up in my chair for the Lange mix of Brainchild - Symmetry C. What a great set.
represent 2024 reliving 1999 when i was 20 years old ...
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
Love this mix so much.....
Play this at my funeral( sorry to be morbid) and somehow I wake up raving ....scaring the hell out of all my attendees!😂
One of the greatest trance sets of all time. Thank you for the upload, really takes me back.
This was one of the first sets that made me love this music. Just perfect.
How long have I been gone for?
Oh my God I'm finally back!!!
Memories retained within music.
I miss these days a long time ago.
I miss you Stephanie
Hands down the best mix I ever heard
One of the best 100% agree.
Xtreme Performance It's would've* (would have) NOT "would of".
@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!
Sat listening to this june 9th 2023 in the garden with a beer . Oakey is back playing in Liverpool tomorrow for one night i get to be 18 again. These songs / mixes have been my growing up . ❤
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
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!!!

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 :)

This is Toronto, Canada! recognized the location at 40:49 when the car pulls up to Hotel Fairmont Royal York right next to the Union Railway Station, stayed in that hotel for a week a few months ago..

Even in a year of incredible Essential Mix after incredible Essential Mix, this one was special. Was 17 when it was released, never yet made it to Ibiza, but danced and danced everywhere else for 5 years. Great days.
Paul Oakenfold , ahead of time
The best trance set of all time
One of the best mixes in the Universe
