Paul
Oakenfold
Despite his dance music reputation, Oakenfold had
always been an eclecticist at heart, growing up
with an equal affection for rock and pop music.
Through the latter part of the Eighties, however,
rock had become increasingly irrelevant to a new
generation fuelled on the underground
explosion of club culture. Its presence permeated
everything, from illicit activities through to language
and fashion, thus it was inevitable that dance music
itself would exert a revitalising influence on rock.
