One of the most successful DJs alive, he's spun his melodic progressive trance all over the planet. Although he's been popular in Europe and Asia for years—he opened some European dates of U2's ZooTV tour and plays for thousands of fans every weekend—it wasn't until the 1998 release of Trancesport (Kinetic Records) that he became known in the States. Now he's mixed a new double-CD specifically for the American market. Perfecto Presents Another World. (London/Sire), to showcase more diverse material. It moves smoothly from under- ground trance hits to a brilliant remix of Led Zeppelin's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" to music from Bladerunner over the course of two superbly programmed sets. Born in London. Oakenfold first gained exposure to D) culture in New York, where he danced at trendsetting early '80s nightclubs like Studio 54 and the Paradise Garage. He then returned to England—where he popularized acid house and early techno after hearing it on a holiday trip to Ibiza—before embracing trance in the mid-'90s. He has enjoyed a second career as a producer, working with or remixing acts as diverse as U2, Snoop Dogg and the Rolling Stones. Meet Paul Oakenfold STS: You said several years ago that America lags behind Europe in the appreciation of dance music. Has Amenta caught up? PO: Absolutely. It was behind in the sense that dance music actually came from America. America started it—the English just took it and gave it a twist. Then dance culture became youth culture in England, whereas in America it was obviously more driven by rock and R&B and hip-hop. Now I actually think it's better here. It's fresh, it's exciting, it's fun— that's why I got into this business. In England it's very political, because it's a billion-dollar business. Here it's really young and exciting. In England they want to be a D) because of the money. Here you're all into it for the love of the music.

And for producers, these days professional as possible." it's much easier because you can just burn a CD-R. So make it, and then burn it onto CD, and then give it to the DJs you want to hear it.

You connect your cable modem or DSL line to the transceiver, plug the transceiver into your PC's USB port, and then add a transceiver to every PC in the home. Laptops use a PC Card version and can roam freely throughout the house and even into the yard. Connections are always on and always high speed, no matter what PC you're using or where. If your budget is tight, or you have a dial-up connection, a wireless RF (radio frequency) network may be the ticket. Intel's AnyPoint Wireless network will work with dial-up connects or high- speed DSL or cable modem. A transceiver costs about $100 (intel.com). Throughput is slower (1 5Mbps as compared to WiFi's 11 Mbps), but it's still fast enough to play multiplayer games and access MP3s all over the house. • Photo* iiiuilrw lir*\y\ 8 steamtunnels.net STEAMTUNNELS BUYER'S GUIDE StereO SyStemS Isn't it time yOU had Some new gear?
