Carl Cox

Carl Cox (born July 29, 1962 in Oldham, Lancashire, England) is an international techno and house DJ.

Career

Carl Cox began as a hardcore and acid house DJ in the mid 1980s, making a name for himself as the "Three Deck Wizard" in 1988, when, during the Second Summer of Love, he began to play on three turntables at once. He has played at clubs as The Eclipse, Edge, Shelly's, Sterns Nightclub, Heaven, Angels and The Haçienda, as well as raves for Fantazia, Dreamscape and Amnesia House. He now spearheads two record labels, Intec Records and 23rd Century Records.

On 3 November 2007 during a gig in Venezuela a shooting spree broke out. Four people were killed and five were injured. A video from the club, showing Cox's reaction to the gunfire and the aftermath of the shooting, was posted on the Internet. Cox later made a statement on his website:

I am deeply shocked and still stunned by the events of Saturday [3rd November]. My condolences go out to victims that were caught up in the horrific act that took place at this gig. I am informed that it was gang related, and feel so sad that anybody would act in such a manner when the event was full of 7000 people having fun. I find it such a sad moment in electronic music as this was probably one of the best set up shows I had played in South America – a sign of real progress…yet utterly hijacked by this mindless act. Again, my heart goes out to those that have died or been injured. This is NOT what the dance scene is about and is a million miles away from what I want to do, or promote.
