Paul Oakenfold on Ibiza, acid house and remixing U2

APR 01 2026

A long interview with Oakenfold about his first Ibiza residency, the Balearic sound he brought back to London, and the club nights that became the second summer of love. He is a primary witness, though his account should be heard against the fact that the 1987 trip's date, roster and birthday framing are contested folklore. It also covers his later work as a remixer.
