Veteran DJ Paul Oakenfold has collected two CDs (or three LPs) worth of remixes for "Perfecto Presents ... Paul Oakenfold: Great Wall," due Sept. 30 from Warner Bros. The set features Oakenfold's own creations as well as music by Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan, Madonna, Ian Brown and Bjork.
"Great Wall" is the follow-up to 2002's "Bunkka," which debuted at No. 65 on The Billboard 200 in July 2002 and has sold 229,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. It spawned the singles "Starry Eyed Surprise" and "Ready Steady Go."
The new album features Oakenfold's remixes of Madonna's "Hollywood," Layo & Bushwacka's "Deep South" and "Another Day" by Skip Raiders featuring Jada, as well as Oakenfold's own track "Hypnotised," remixed by Deepsky's Reaktor Radio. Other cuts include Brown's "Fear" (UNKLE Remix), Bjork's "Pagan Poetry," Infusion's "Legacy" (Junkie XL Remix) and Jon B's "Mercury Skies" (Trance Mix).
