My Take
Paul Oakenfold is foundational to how I think about modern club culture. An English DJ and producer who has remixed everyone from U2 and Madonna to Michael Jackson and the Rolling Stones, he treated genre lines as suggestions rather than rules. Being voted among the world's top DJs is impressive on its own, but what stays with me is his role in carrying trance and progressive sounds to a global audience. Decades in, he is still working the floor, and that endurance commands respect. I regard him less as a celebrity and more as a craftsman who built a movement out of sound.
