Funny thing, in light of this new info -- Dtoid's own Brad Nicholson captioned his last post about DJ Hero with a pic of Paul Oakenfold that said "Paul Oakenfold is angry." With all the talk of how hard it was to license music for the game, it's hard as a fan of dance music to know if the game would be a blast or a total trainwreck.
However, Paul Oakenfold has obviously had a chance to see the game himself, and while his comments were non-official (he has nothing to do with representing the game), word was that he loved it. It would be nice to see a major DJ like Oakenfold get officially involved. personally, I'm more of a Richie Hawtin fan myself, but that isn't going to hook millions of sales the way a product associated with Oakenfold would.

His DJ hero would basically be "Don't bother beat matching, us lots of effects, and fall into the uncanny valley even though you are clearly human".
However, he is still a living legend, and killed it at Minitek 2 weeks ago.
/techno nerd.
Oakenfold has not been relevant for a long while now, trance is dead, RIP. I used to go clubbing at Cream in Liverpool a lot in the late 90s and saw him play many amazing sets, but that was a long time ago, the world has moved on. He hasn't. And his new hairstyle is poo.
