Im not really sure were to start with the Techno genius! Born in Oldham; Manchester Carl. He started Dj’ing in the mid 80′s and in a relatively short time had played for all the main players on the club scene including the Hacienda and the legendary Fantazia raves. By the end of the 80′s he had started a trait h would become well known for and he played on 3 turntables.

Carl Cox is a dynamite behind the decks, his energy is infectious and anybody that has seen him will know what is meant. His head bobs he gets the crowd going on the mic and he sweats, oh boy does he sweat, its a sign of the effort dedication and pure brilliance of execution that Carl Cox delivers every time he performs behind the decks.

Mr Cox however is more than just a Dj, he has two of his own record labels in Intec Records and 23rd Century Records. As well as his labels he has his extremely popular radio show, you can hear the show every week on di.fm.

Carl’s energetic music is loved the world over, although he hails from Manchester in the last few years he has very rarely played in the UK. The popularity of such a legend amounts to never having to play in the same venue twice and still never being out of work. A sign of a mega Dj however is the ability to host your own night and be your own boss. Carl has manged to achieve this for a long time now and with his night labeled Carl Cox and friends Carl has just that.

As with any DJ however the ultimate goal, the Mecca is Ibiza. Has Carl Cox broken the Ibizan market?.. only with a sledge hammer!! Carl has with everything else in his life been a pioneer in the Ibiza music scene, his popularity today is as strong as it always has been. In Ibiza space is his home, he has for the last few years had his residency of Carl Cox and friends in the club were he regularly played two sets in a night, One set on the legendary terrace were he will have started of his fledgling career on the island and he finishes of the night in the main room were his music gets that bit darker!

Im not sure i can really big up the man any more than i already have done. so i will leave it there. If you like what ypu read about the man and the legend then go and see him play, If you don’t think you would like his style then go and see him anyway as he will prove you wrong. Ive had the pleasure of seeing him in Ibiza many times before so if you are every on the white isle then it is a night you have to go to as Carl Cox creates history and if you can you want to be able to turn roud and say ‘I was there’
