About Carl Cox: One of the most charming DJs in the business. A musical ambassador and a veteran of acid house, a champion of techno, a dance music pioneer, label owner, King of Ibiza – you name it, Carl’s been there and done it, never losing sight of his passions – playing music, breaking tunes and celebrating life. It was at the age of 15 that Carl bought a set of turntables and began working as a mobile DJ. Disco was the first music that captivated him but by the early 80s Cox had moved on to playing the same music as other young London DJs – rare groove, New York hip-hop and electro. He was perfectly placed to hear Chicago house music in its earliest forms, and when the epic ’Acid Trax’ by Phuture (. DJ Pierre) came out in early ’87. “It was then that I thought, ’This is it,’ says Carl. “I would do my parties, and I’d play old rare groove and hip hop and soul and I would say ’Right you’ve got to hear this Phuture track’ and people would just stop and listen.” As a founder of the sound, Carl rode the exploding British rave scene. He played the opening night of Danny Rampling’s legendary Shoom, co-promoted The Project with Paul Oakenfold, held a residency at the Zap Club in Brighton and at the Sunrise rave in 1988, hooked up a third turntable for his dawn-breaking set, got 15,000 people back on their feet, and established a personal rep for three-deck wizardry. #CarlCox #Creamfields2019 #beatport #ohyesohyes _________________ ► Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: ► Heard about Beatport Link?
