Paul Oakenfold @ Home, Space, Ibiza - Essential mix Live [1999-07-25] BBC radio 1 

WHO listing in Febreary 2024????????

2024 still listening. best mix ever.

1999 , no Whatsapp no Facebook , no Tinder , no Instagram .. happier people and experienced more dancing

it was my late son garry that got me into Paul Oakenfold back in the late 90,s ive never regreted it. love and still miss you garry xxx

Too much nostalgia. Hurts my heart

More than two decades later and still on point.

My friend and I drove 6 hours to the beach and back just to listen to this mix over and over. 20 years later and I still hear something new every time. Magic. Whenever Auranaut - Yoyo hit, we would both look at each other with a "holy FUCK" expression on our faces

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.

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!

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.

Incredible set. Timeless, epic tunes. How I miss these days with all my being.

Quarantine, April 2020. Still one of the best sets. Ever.

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 ❤️✅👍🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

God!!!! Bullet In The Gun one of the best track of the history! And Paul one of the best for ever.

Keep coming back to this...an absolute audible treasure for all time!

summer of 1999. what a great time to be alive.

This mix has been sequenced into my DNA and my soul

Paul is a Great DJ. Legend .

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!

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.

God bless the person who uploaded this timeless unappreciated gem

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!

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.

This is my favorite Oakenfold mix ever made! Can't believe I found it again.

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...

I love how much soul was in this trance music, these DJs know how to lay it down, respect 2024.

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 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.

If it was possible to turn back the clock, I would. 1999 my life started, and with this music!

I used to play this set in 1999 in my car on MP3. The car audio was EXPENSIVE just to be able to play MP3

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.

The set is absolutely timeless, we have 2023 it could also come from this year. Great Paul

WHO listín in june 2023🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From Cassettes, to CDs, to USBs, Ipods, drives and clouds..this mix is always in my reach.

Cупер сэт, впервые его услышал в 2002, с тех пор слушаю, когда скучновато и хочется летнего позитива!

“I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.” -Andy Bernard

Let's give the driver a nice round of applause for their safe driving.

This one is a classic. I have heard it 1000s of times. Banging...

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.

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

Paul oakenfold - legend.

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 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.

An ode to the time when I lived in Toronto and drove to this beautiful music.

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!!!!!!

Quarantine, 18 Dec 2020 epic. Still one of the best sets. Ever.

Dr. Oakenfold takes us on real journeys that last with the times.

How many Djs nowadays would have the balls to play the same song twice in the same set. Oakenfold was the man

Who listing in AUGUST 2020??????

Mr. Oakenfold, this track now has a million miles on it. Thank you so much for years and years of incredible joy.

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..

Been listening to this since 99, still amazing today!

The most beautifully compiled Progressive Trance mix on the planet! God how I miss 1999 !

The GREATEST!!!! OAKEY!!!! I remember at Shadow Lounge Miami... Loved EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!! "AM I ON PAUSE"!!!!!

Remember hearing this in college. Never looked back since. Oakenfold in Seattle July 9th 2023. I’ll be there🎉🎉🎉

I can't believe I've never heard this Oakenfold set. I love New York, Tranceport and Creamfileds, but I didn't know this one.

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 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

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.

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

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

represent 2024 reliving 1999 when i was 20 years old ...

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

Almost 2020 and still one of the best I ever heard...

this, havana mixes, miami 1999... they are regularly on my playlists... What Oakenfold did then is timeless, pure magic

I always sit straight up in my chair for the Lange mix of Brainchild - Symmetry C. What a great set.

El barco Para es vedra mix........still amazing, timeless

Top ten trance sets ever. Maybe top 5. Definitely reflective of happier, less confusing times. Respect 🫡 to you Mr. Oakenfold. True legend!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Good times and great memories.

Paul Oakenfold , ahead of 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!!!

What a great mix, what a great era, back when people went out and just jammed the night away

i sat up and recorded this to tape off the radio the night it played those where the days !! this makes me feel 18 again im now 40+

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.

No social media then, those were good days.

That first tune is mint. Late 90s raving was amazing! Close your eyes and reach for the lasers.

Always on my usb key car...in 2024 ... intergalactic mix, from start to finish forever ^^

Opening a club and this is what it will be based on No rap, no pop, juuuuussssttttt lights and music

This is still the most beautiful mix I've ever heard.

OAKENFOLD IS THE GREATEST.... SERIOUSLY!!!!!

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.

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!

One of the masterpiece sets of all time.....can never get tired of it

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

December 2020,loving the old essential mixes all over again. Staying up to tape them on a 2hr cassette tape! Fabuloso!

GOAT of essential mixes...

I've just trained at the gym with this playing on my phones... wow.. what a journey ... what a workout!!

Moved away from Toronto, and I absolutely hate the traffic driving into the city, but when I see the CN Tower while driving on the Gardiner Expressway, it brings back a nostalgia feeling, a flood of all the great times I had living there, a reminder that I am truly back at home.

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 . ❤

I recall, as a teen, leaving our 56k dial-up modem connected all night so I could download this-- dad get's up in the morning to look at his usual low-rez porn with his coffee-- "Jimmy! Get in here! Wtf did you do, the hard drive is full!!!" Lol, oh man... this mix has been with me so often over the years, whilst writing essays, jogging, traveling all over Europe and Canada... I keep coming back to it. Thanks for this, much love.

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.

Absolutely one of the best sets ever recorded! Would have killed to be one the people listening to this live!

1:31:50 for anyone who thinks Oakenfold wasn't a mixmaster

So miss these times ..Never again 😥😥

Hearing Blondie - "Nothing is Real But The Girl" at 13 minutes, just takes me back to when I was 19... magical set.

From June 2050, I can say this is every bit as dope as during those halcyon days of the late 1900s and early 2000s.
