Re: Are guys like Moby and Oakenfold still relevent these days?
Funny enough I’ve been listening to some Moby classics a lot lately to celebrate a time in history when electronica wasn’t defined entirely by squelchy basses with variable LFO rates.

Moby is pretty awesome in general. Weirdo, DJ, Producer, Live performer. Made some pretty good music over the years... and is like the LAST minimal/tribal dj that still rocks teh floor.
"Relevant" maybe not, but still awesome.

Moby just headlined Decibel Festival here in Seattle a couple weeks back and killed it.

Right before I saw this thread I got an email about a Moby photo exhibit at a DC art gallery:

I just missed Moby live saturday to get a good spot to see Portishead. I wish I didn't have to, but you know, priorities...
Why do festival organizers always do stupid schedule decisions?

I think the real question should be "was Oakenfold ever relevant ?"

A Moby photo exhibit? For Chrysakes next thing you know he'll be hooking up with P-Diddy and Martha Stewart to sell a line of scarves at Macy's.icedsushi wrote:Right before I saw this thread I got an email about a Moby photo exhibit at a DC art gallery:

Re: Are guys like Moby and Oakenfold still relevent these days?
Haha, yeah I know, I thought that too. Who knows, might be worth checking though amongst the other stuff, it's a nice art gallery I've been there before.
I'm not a huge fan of Moby's music but I don't dislike it either. I agree with the comment about Oakenfold, I don't think he was ever considered much of an influence. He was really pushed marketing-wise in the late 90's, early 2000's but even back then, I didn't ever hear of people going on about how great the music was. So I'm not sure why you brought him up...would have never thought of bringing him up in a topic like this.

Seriously? Like his music or not, Oakey was a HUGE influence on club music in the late 90's, early 00's. Some of the biggest parties I'd ever been to were with him head-lining.

Re: Are guys like Moby and Oakenfold still relevent these days?
Considering his involvement in the Manchester scene before electronica, as a producer, etc...I think he has some serious street cred. The trance dj stuff was career 2.0 already.Homebelly wrote:I think the real question should be "was Oakenfold ever relevant ?"
