Paul Oakenfold is on a Trance Mission

12 of the biggest trance releases of all time covered by the man who helped make them favorites in the first place. This is Trance Mission, by Paul Oakenfold.

Perfecto Records and Armada are proud to announce the upcoming release of Paul’s new album, which will be released this June.

Trance Mission includes 12 new Oakenfold cover versions of some of the biggest, most iconic and influential electronic records of all time. Included are remakes of records like “Café Del Mar,” “Madagascar,” “Touch Me,” “Adagio for Strings,” “Toca Me,” “Ready Steady Go” and “Hold That Sucker Down.” Each track is an unforgettable classic, and each one brilliantly remodeled to fit the aesthetic and style of the present day. Having worked on this project solidly for the last 6 months Paul is proud to present his fresh interpretations of these timeless classics. “I’ve always wanted to make this album but how do you successfully go about making a collection of cover versions of a bunch of your all time favourite records? It’s a tough question that I’ve had going round my head for many years,” Paul said.

He went on to say, “Yes, lots of people have made remixes of these songs but few have covered them. I guess you’re wondering what the difference is right? Well a remix uses parts from the original composition whereas a cover uses nothing except the notation of the original riff. Other than that – you begin with a blank canvas – and that is what appealed to me when I decided to begin work on Trance Mission last summer. Deciding to create cover versions was the easy part. I didn’t want to be restricted in any way by having to use parts from the originals and in doing so fall into the ranks of other remixers.”

This album is called Trance Mission – because its filled with a selection of Paul’s favorite trance records from the last 25 years. Paul said this record was a, “bloody mission to finish.”

Your mission is to just listen.  Enjoy.
