These new high-tech, sprawling venues, paired with the ecstasy-induced worship of music, elevated DJs to almost god-like status, creating the world’s first DJ “rock stars”, the likes of Sasha, Paul Oakenfold, and Paul van Dyk, to name but a few.
no digital software sorting that pitch out. i even like the mix running out of sync and him pulling it back together using his skills. im starting to hate these pristine mixes where no pressure is felt fading the next tune in. i question if many djs even set their pitch or press the button to do it using cd based set ups? Lazy if u ask me
Better than all these shitty sounding trainwreck mixes though Oakie was well known for being terrible, theres many a studio recorded set to prove it, let alone countless club sets broadcast on radio 1 that all these years later that sound attrocious. You actually want to hear records out of time? crikey. Why should it matter if people are using sync or not these days, it should be about the music, not the method. Unless like you, people enjoy hearing someone bring the next record in completely out of time not properly beatmatched etc. Whatever floats your boat I guess.
The better quality the equipment has gotten the more boring the music has become in dance music. Hence why there are so few decent/interesting djs these days - in the 90s/00s every dj had a style the way every guitar player did. Now most of it is pre recorded chunks of sound synching to the visuals.
Excellent post mate, Insee your comment below regarding the year. 2000 or 2001 I think as he played Ubik. Takes me back to that old club feeling that video, thanks mate ♥️👍🏻
Yeah I know I have the year wrong, I remember the aliens and stuff dangling from the ceiling in the annexe, the annexe was the best but he just grew to big for it. Working there or just in there the place was immense you could not fail to have a good time one more night of oakie in the annexe with them thing hanging from the roof would be the night of all nights. Oh well just glad I was there in the 1st place. Happy happy times.
After asserting itself on home soil, Cream expanded to form Cream Ibiza, extending its legacy to the world’s most notorious party scene. Although it neglected to hold a residency on the island in 2019, Cream is still one of the longest-running club nights in Ibiza, having hosted parties at Amnesia since 1994.
@martoman75 Yer...right there mate...this is part of the show that was broadcast on BBC 2 during May 2000. I think actually show was called ''Pete Tong Live From Cream''....which included Tongey, Darren Emerson, Armin Van Helden and Chicane. Still got the whole show on video!
Remember it well. My mate went. I stayed up and watched it spotted him on tele. He then made the slices fabric dvd some years later😂 I know oakenfold would have got promos and white labels but ubik was 2000 and I'm sure this was 2000. It definitely wasn't 97
On another note how many times did seb Fontaine close the main room and his last track was always atlantis Fiji. Still makes the hairs on my neck prick up now hearing that tune.
But perhaps no brand is more synonymous with 90s trance than Cream. Founded by James Barton, Andy Carroll, and Darren Hughes in 1992, Cream began as a platform for house music in the UK at the now-demolished Nation nightclub in Liverpool. As musical tastes changed during the 90s, so did the bookings at Cream, which brought in Paul Oakenfold- one of trance’s originators-as resident DJ throughout 1997 and 1998.
when people danced at clubs. Happy memories of the best club ever.
God how I wish we had had HD footage and full 2 hour live streams of this era.
And not a mobile in sight! just having fun... top nights out!!!
Awesome
My youth was spent in that yard ♥
Same 👍
Ditto
Yep. That YARD was epic.

It’s difficult to overstate just how big Oakenfold was in the mid to late 90’s.
thank you for sharing this. I flipping love Cream 1995-1997 I danced and sweat but most of all I had a huge smile on my face as did everyone!!!!!
Best club in the country and in my home town. Love it, every week without fail
Awesome nights at the nation with 2 years of oakies residency
Loved going to this place
legendary times! unforgettable
I agree with that completely it's hard finding footage of oakie in there though. Just lives on in my mind.
The best room in the country, at the time...

Agreed you could tell DJ'S a part not just by music but also mixing styles, you could feel the dj through the mix.

I love this club, still today it is major, another bonus is its in my home town!!

I was also a barman during his annexe residency. I dine out on the stories from those days.
Yeh agree, I loved oaky in the annexe in the early days ever present but then found as time passed I just couldn’t get in there too packed.
got goosebumps watching this! i was so there in 1997....fookin master of the courtyard oakey =)

The courtyard king!
Mint ;) Wish I could have made Cream in Liverpool :)
I was one of the first people in West Belfast to have Mitsubishi's around 1993

Been desperate to find a copy of Tomorrow for years, mental tune!
Greatest club ever

1 DJ and 2 decks that’s it. No bloody MacBooks or software.

UBIK came on the scene in late 99. Oakey started playing it around September 99 on his world tour.

This was not 1997 - it was 2000...and it was part of a live show with Pete Tong.
His second tune Ubik wasn't released until 2000...
This is NOT from 1997 this is from 2000, it was broadcast live on BBC2.
Freakin sick ass transition!!
Cream Reunion Sat 5th Feb 2011 in the Annexe. Ticket only.
This isn’t 1997. Timo Maas - Ubik was released in 2000.
DU MONDE!!1
this video is not from 97, Ubik theme is from 2000. Mistake, wrong Date.
Can anyone remember the name of the after club that opened just over the road from cream for a few years?
Pleasure rooms
Eden.
@@andrewdempsey6924 yes that's the one!!! Thanks 👍🏼
Dumonde just showcases Oakey at his very best; ubik is just messy annexe madness
Back room, Zoo bar,was the best!!!
Oakley was boring.PAUL BLEASDALE , LES RYDER well better
Courtyard! Hes only warming up... taking out larger heads as my mate used to say!

Yea, Bleasdale was better. If you know you know
A bit... that's an understatement if ever I heard one. Played some good tunes tho.
