Agreed, this will change this Friday. It appears the Orange Friday DJs aren't the only ones doing those tracks together ;)
We'll make a point of detaching them.

Paul Oakenfold will be doing book signings in the Union from 21:00 hrs on Friday the 12th and will then play a two hour set starting at 23:00 hrs, Prior to Pauls set Ben Gold will be playing a two hour set.

Due to the huge demand for tickets I've increased the number available by another 300 my apologies to anyone who has come in for tickets to be told we have sold out! Obviously by increasing the advance tickets this will reduce the number of people able to come through the door on the night.

Also for those of you who can't decide between Oakenfold and Jules, Jules will be here at Portsmouth in January

Didn't want it to be all over by 10:30, if he had to shoot off.
Turnmills is probably open until 5am or something stupid like that!

That mean he might be arriving and leaving by helicopter??!


EDIT: Turnmills opening time is Doors: 10.30pm – 7.30am
I'm sure he will make it then!!

There are loads of very good up-and-coming DJs who don't cost the earth and who play amazing sets, like the DJ warming up before Oakie - you might come for the headline DJ, but you'll usually find the DJs playing around them are great, too!

Trance music, like any kind of music, hits the right buttons for some (many!) people, so they'll no doubt tell you it's good for many reasons. My Dad might disagree, and so might you, but there's a great trance scene in this part of the country, and lots of really great trance nights which might help you see the genre from a trance-lover's point of view ;o)

I have heard bad reviews on oakenfold up until recently as he seems to of gone back to his trance routes. so lets hope he plays a blinding dance set and stays away from pop.

oh yeah and hes quite famous for making that big brother tune and doing a number of movie soundtracks such as swordfish for those who dont know. Also I seem to remember him dj'ing at a high profile wedding for somewhere in the region of $1m but could be wrong on that one. ]]> http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,3884.htm#3884 liamsmith17 Thu, 13 Sep 2007 16:52:55 GMT General discussion > Social:Life - chat about events at the Union http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,3883.htm#3883

Maybe, but UPSU is cheaper than Slinky, and Oakie is a metric shedload better than Julesy, according to 9 out of 10 cats*.

* Not a scientific measure, but Oakie does cost a lot more than Jules, and is much better known.

Oakenfold is popular (not something i would see but anyway), Would this money not have been better spent on redecorating? I mean yea sure Oakenfold will sell out the union for that night, but eventually the union will empty out again given a month or so as it allways does since it got gutted a few years back.

I recon the union needs to diversify from the other clubs in pompey or its going to be a bit naff on days other than wednesday, and even that day is now a bit emptier since Liquid appeared.

Loving the mass of fancy dress themed nights!!!!

Where has that hypnotist Tony Lee gone tho?!?!? He was classic last year, and much better than october fest!

I know i have a reputation of peddling pendulum but any chance of them appearing at the union this year? It was mentioned as a possibility last year and would be a sound bet.

Besides, he has done good bringing a lot of the rave culture to the UK, but IMO a Dj's price tag should be based on his factors as a good DJ not for things like that.

he is one of the most expensive djs to book because, quite simply he is the reason rave culture and dance music exists in britain today. he is a pioneer and is reponsible (along with the likes of danny rampling) for bringing house music over to the U.k from ibiza in the late 80s and starting off the summer of love. so, he is a legend and a world renound 'superstar dj' and it is crazy that he has agreed to play at somewhere so insignificant as portsmouth student union. this man can pick and choose his gigs and was the first dj to play the glastonbury main stage and has even played on the great wall of china! so, my advice is to be there because it is a massive deal for the union! ]]> http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,3827.htm#3827 peachyraver Mon, 03 Sep 2007 15:47:04 GMT General discussion > Social:Life - chat about events at the Union http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,3817.htm#3817
