Artist Biography:

Paul Oakenfold is the UK's number one DJ. This simple statement, however, doesn't even begin to properly acknowledge Oakenfold's stellar contribution to our musical landscape. His signature can be seen in everything from the early rise of hip-hop and the re-invention of British dance culture to the Balearic explosion.

Paul Oakenfold is the UK's number one DJ. This simple statement, however, doesn't even begin to properly acknowledge Oakenfold's stellar contribution to our musical landscape. His signature can be seen in everything from the early rise of hip-hop and the re-invention of British dance culture to the Balearic explosion and the birth of 'Madchester'.

Indeed, it's a testament to Oakenfold's restless curiosity and imagination that his career shows no signs of diminution, even after two decades. A snapshot of his activities through the summer of 2001, for instance, finds Oakenfold hosting Perfecto nights in Ibiza before travelling to America where he's the headline DJ on Moby's ambitious Area:One festival tour. After that, there are DJ dates everywhere from Buenos Aires and Mexico City to Clapham Common.

Oakenfold has also contributed the soundtrack to America's number one box-office movie, Swordfish, the release of which is closely followed by the Perfecto Presents Paul Oakenfold in Ibiza DJ mix album this summer. A relentless schedule that emphasises Oakenfold's growing global status.

All this began in the late-Seventies when a very young Paul Oakenfold, together with his friend Trevor Fung, cut their musical teeth by mixing soul and rare-groove at a basement bar in London's Covent Garden. His imagination stirred, Oakenfold decided to find the roots of his new-found obsession by moving to West Harlem in New York.

Oakenfold worked as a courier for local dance radio stations in the Big Apple. By night he checked out the city's burgeoning new club environment, witnessing the extraordinary birth of hip-hop. Fired up, Oaken.
