Phil Oakey- Time For A Name Change-

Author: Jonty Skruff

Chillout/ambient pioneer Mixmaster Morris emailed Skrufff this week about our recent Phil Oakey interview and said 'I'm still playing the 'Dare' dub album from 23 years ago, it still sounds wicked on a big system.'

"I think he should change his name, though," the Irresistible Force producer suggested.

"After all who wants a name like Oakey-"

Atomizer/ Nag DJ Fil OK, who named himself after the Human League singer, was unconcerned about any unfortunate connotations to the name, scolding Skrufff 'you're the first to mention it'.

"I'm a huge Human League fan, the Black Hit Of Faith is the best electro track ever written, and I'm glad I named myself after Phil," he insisted.

"I'm not a Paul Oakenfold fan at all, he's way too mainstream."
