Greatest Hits & Remixes

Paul Oakenfold's influences on dance and electronic music span two decades and this collection showcases these bringing together Oakenfold's greatest hit productions and remixes for the first time, on one album. Oakenfold is widely credited as one of the originals responsible for importing the Balearic sound from Ibiza to the UK in the late 80's leading to the global explosion of Acid House, Rave culture and dance & electronic music. Take a look at the Klaxons recent cover of Grace's Not Over Yet to see how much Oakenfold's's influences still filter through to current music culture. The tracks on this album reflect all of the above including Oakenfold's's legendary remixes of stadium rockers U2 and Madonna, the rave / baggy scene remix of the Shamen and Happy Mondays production, the hip hop to trip hop vibes in Massive Attack, Arrested Development and Snoop retouches through to the 90's club classic of Underworld, PPK, Planet Perfecto, Grace and Olive.
