Hire: Carl Cox

Carl Cox was born on July 29, 1962, in Oldham, England, to Barbadian parents. Growing up in a household filled with soul, reggae, and funk music, he developed a deep love for music from an early age. He started DJing in his teens, using his father’s record collection to practice mixing.

Rise of a DJ Legend

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Carl Cox became part of the underground UK dance scene, initially playing disco, funk, and hip-hop. However, it was the arrival of house music from Chicago in the mid-1980s that would change his career forever.

By the late 1980s, he had become a prominent name in the UK rave scene, playing at famous clubs like Shoom and Sunrise. His ability to mix three turntables simultaneously set him apart from other DJs.
