Paul Oakenfold premieres his EDC Las Vegas 2026 set on HQ

The triumphant return to the quantumVALLEY stage

Recently, legendary British producer and DJ Paul Oakenfold has made the full, high-definition recording of his acclaimed set at EDC Las Vegas 2026 available to the global community. Officially hosted on his YouTube channel in direct collaboration with promoter Insomniac, the 58-minute session captures the overwhelming energy of the quantumVALLEY stage, a true sanctuary for devotees of trance and progressive rhythms. This release offers fans who could not attend in Nevada the opportunity to experience the mastery of one of the genre's undisputed pioneers.

The quantumVALLEY stage, known for its immersive design and focus on the more hypnotic branches of electronic music, was the perfect canvas for the British artist to develop his musical narrative. With a stage presence dominated by immersive visuals and an impeccable sound system, the performance quickly became one of the highlights of the weekend at the famous Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

A masterclass in selection and synthesis

Far from appealing exclusively to the nostalgia of his first decades of his career, Oakenfold structured a sonic journey that demonstrates his absolute relevance in the recording industry. The set kicked off with a surprising and powerful choice: "A.F.B.1." by Excision and Subtronics. From that first bass impact, the Brit transitioned flawlessly into the legendary "Meet Her At The Love Parade" by Da Hool, locking in the dance floor energy from the very first moment.

Throughout the hour-long performance, the founder of the Perfecto Records label deployed an arsenal of his own productions, recent collaborations, and remixed classics that define the standard of modern trance. Among the most notable moments of the session are:

• Excision & Subtronics - "A.F.B.1."
• Da Hool - "Meet Her At The Love Parade" (Zaa Club Mix)
• Hans Zimmer - "Interstellar" (Paul Oakenfold Remix)
• Paul Oakenfold x Ferry Corsten - "Metaverse"
• Paul Oakenfold - "Southern Sun" (Will Atkinson Remix)

Each transition evidenced an absolute command of tempo and groove. The inclusion of tracks like the BLR Remix of "Bullet In The Gun" finished consolidating a perfect balance between the melodic heritage of classic trance and cutting-edge frequencies oriented toward large-format clubbing.

The transcendence of an unquenchable icon

The publication of this audiovisual material in high-quality format not only allows for reliving the magic of the recent edition of EDC Las Vegas, but also reaffirms Paul Oakenfold's position as an immovable pillar of electronic culture. His ability to read the demands of a massive dance floor and adapt his sound, without losing the emotional identity that catapulted him to international fame, remains an unavoidable reference for new generations of producers and DJs.
