In 1987, Oakenfold travelled to the island of Ibiza for a week to celebrate his birthday. Trevor Fung, Nicky Holloway, Ian Saint Paul, Danny Rampling and Johnny Walker accompanied him. Oakenfold convinced the owner of a venue in England to host an “Ibiza Reunion” party after-hours. He had previously made an attempt, but it failed as the crowd was not prepared for the acid house style until 1987 when the party was successful. After that, the night became a classic and became one of the UK’s major acid house nights, known as Spectrum at Heaven in Charing Cross. The party was best known for the “Theatre of Madness”, as more than 1,500 people were present on Monday nights, until it went down; with the financial issues it changed its name to the “Land of Oz”. Artists like Alex Paterson DJ’d in the VIP chillout area known as the “White Room”, which gave Oakenfold more free time, and then he began producing music under the alias “Electra” in 1988. Members included Nick Divaris, John “Johnny” Rocca and Micky. Also in 1988 he decided to create a place where new artists could develop their careers. At that moment, Perfecto Records was born.

Oakenfold and Paul used fake identification to sneak into various dance clubs, like Studio 54, where they met members of the band Maze, Bobby Womack and Bob Marley, whom they also interviewed, claiming to be NME and Melody Maker journalists.

He collaborated with his friend Steve Osborne on various projects. In 1990, he worked with Terry Farley, Andrew Weatherall and Osborne on two remixes for Happy Mondays. The remixes of “Rave On” and “Hallelujah” were released on the Madchester Rave On EP, as well as “Step On”, a covered version adapted from John Kongos’ 1971 hit “He’s Gonna Step On You”. The song reached the Top 5 position in the UK. He was invited as a guest DJ to Spike Island, a gig with The Stone Roses. Pleased with the last single, the Happy Mondays gave Oakenfold and Osborne the opportunity to produce their third studio album, Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches. The album entered the UK charts at #1 with pre-sales of 150,000. The album was named NME’s “1990 Album of The Year”, and both Oakenfold and Osborne won the 1991 Brit Award for “Best Producer”.
