As one of the founding fathers of Trance, Paul Oakenfold has proven to be a dance innovator for over 20 years, influencing the masses' conception of electronic music and contributing to the popular acceptance of the DJ as a legitimate artist.
In a recent interview, at the Winter Music Conference and Miami Music Week, the legendary producer gave an important statement.
"Trance is definitely having a resurgence in America. Miami is a great city to see it happening. The Winter Music Conference you have over here is great for this. It's been there for many, many years. It's an important event on the calendar. There's a lot of DJs who attend it. A lot of DJs who do their own parties, showcasing all their new music and the talent that's affiliated with it. It's going strong. I mean, it's probably the longest lasting music conference out there. I think now Americans are starting to dig a little deeper into the underground music. We're doing a modern-day twist on some classic trance's tracks at Space. When it comes to my set, I've been focusing on reintroducing some of the classic tracks to the current generation, those who are not familiar with trance. And instead of playing the old versions, I've reworked them into a 2014 production sound. "
Watch now a classic Trance video, "Hypnotised" featuring Tiff Lacey on vocals.
You came in from the darkness and held the door open wide
You stood there like a vision before my unbelieving eyes
I believe in what I see and also what I hear
But did the night play tricks on me or were you really there.
Am I being hypnotised
Am I being hypnotised
Am I being hypnotised
Am I being hypnotised
Feeling like I'm hypnotised
Fear has gripped my heart and I am whispering out your name
Can you hear the silence screaming
I believe in what I see
Am I being hypnotised
Am I being hypnotised
Am I being hypnotised
Am I being hypnotised
Feeling like I'm hypnotised
Fear has gripped my heart
Can you hear the silence
Fear has gripped my heart and I am whispering out your name
Can you hear the silence screaming
I believe in what I see and also what I hear
But did the night play tricks on me or were you really there
Am I being hypnotised
Am I being hypnotised
Am I being hypnotised
Am I being hypnotised
Feeling like I'm hypnotised
