English record producer and legendary DJ Paul Oakenfold packed Sutra in Costa Mesa Thursday night. Fans filed in quickly for Oakenfold’s performance that began right around midnight. He had the crowd on its feet into the early morning hours, dancing, waving large glow sticks and holding on tight to those tiny club dresses – they truly lived it up.
