Pitchfork

World-renowned DJ, remixer, and Crazy Town enthusiast: Paul Oakenfold gets around. And, like a lot of folks who've gotten around some in their day, he's primed to pare down his body of whirling thumps to twenty choice solo cuts, collaborations, and remixes for Greatest Hits & Remixes, out October 23 on Perfecto/Ultra Records.

We bring this up not so much because of the name at the top of the marquee-- as long as Ibiza remains above sea level, Paul Oakenfold doesn't need more press-- but because a few of those getting worked over by the dude may raise an eyebrow or three.

Both Radiohead's "Everything in Its Right Place" and Smashing Pumpkins' "Perfect" get their pulses raised by Oakenfold, with takes on slightly more predictable Happy Mondays, Justin Timberlake, Massive Attack, Madonna, and Underworld cuts besides. The "DOOF DOOF DOOF" quotient of this collection: off the charts!
