Carl Cox

Carl Cox is, for me, the warmest face in dance music. Born in Oldham in 1962, he turned house and techno into a global communal experience, and his sets feel less like performances than celebrations. The 2019 International Dance Music Award only confirms what crowds already knew. What fascinates me is the breadth of the man: a record producer, a radio voice, even a motorsport team owner, all driven by the same restless love of momentum. Decades in, he still steps to the decks with that unmistakable grin, and I genuinely believe his joy is half the reason the room lifts off.
