What hasn’t already been said about Carl Cox? Not much — but we’re gonna try anyway! Surrey-raised and Hove-based when he isn’t in Australia, Cox has been a shining light for electronic music lovers for over three decades, playing clubs, stadiums and festivals world-over and promoting the sound wherever he’s had the chance.

A veteran of the scene and a true titan, Coxy’s passionate and genuine enthusiasm has failed to dull over the years — you could even argue that his light has only shone brighter in 2021. In January, the King of Ibiza began collaborating with Virtuoso, hosting his first online DJ workshop for the music education platform, and in February premiered a live set on Resident Advisor. He continued the much-loved Cabin Fever sessions from his garage on Mornington Peninsula, near Melbourne, too, choosing a different theme every week from his vast record collection that he was locked down with.

Following on from these sessions, in April he began his BBC Radio 1 Residency, holding themed specials including rave, drum & bass, a Space Terrace Ibiza mix and an ‘88 to ‘89 mix, to name a few, and in May announced his signing with major label BMG and his first album in a decade. So far, so very busy.

What many people may not know about Cox is that he’s a big motorsport fan, has held a professional racing license for eight years, and belongs to the ‘6-second club’. He took part in the Sydney Dragway race this year, even playing a set after the event, and ranks motorsports alongside his passion for music.

But it doesn’t stop there. After holding another Awesome Soundwave Live festival online and dipping into the digital space, launching the Djenerates NFT collection alongside Paul Oakenfold, Paul van Dyk and others, Cox returned to the UK in July, after 16 months away. As soon as he touched down his first port of call was a DJ set on Brighton Beach. Some 5,000 people rocked up for the outdoor event — a UK tour quickly followed.

In August, Cox published Oh Yes, Oh Yes!, his long-awaited autobiography, which made the bestseller list and told the global ambassador’s story in all its unadulterated glory. “When I heard that Oh Yes, Oh Yes! was a bestseller I had to pinch myself,” he tells DJ Mag. “It seems a million miles from playing my dad’s records in my parents’ front room.”

To top it off, Cox’s track ‘Carnage’ was featured in the Hollywood blockbuster Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which hit the US box office in September, just in time for his October US tour. We could go on: his achievements are seismic. It all goes to show what a supernatural force Cox is. Not even a pandemic can stop him.
