Paul Oakenfold readies two releases, hangs with Madonna & Chili Peppers

By Alex Young on June 24th, 2009

In the latest examples of Paul Oakenfold being immune to sleep (see: his performance at Bonnaroo that went to 5:00 a.m. earlier this month), the acclaimed DJ is currently gearing up for so much that it’d be best to put all the necessary details in bullet form to avoid confusion…

On July 14th, Oakenfold will release Perfecto Vegas, a 21-track track “greatest hits” album of sorts that seeks to celebrates the DJ’s residency at the Palms Hotel & Casino last year with two-discs of material hand and selected and mixed by Oakenfold himself.

Around the same time, Oakenfold will embark on a lengthy European tour, which includes opening spots on all upcoming dates of Madonna’s “Sticky & Sweet” world tour.

Speaking of Madonna, Oakenfold is currently producing brand new material for her forthcoming greatest hits album, which is slated for release this September.

Oakenfold also continues to work on his forthcoming full-length, titled Pop Killer, which will be released in 2010. The project is already said to feature collaborations with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, and Ce-Lo.

Now that we got all that covered, on to the dates…
