Carl Cox's love affair with dance music began at age 15 after he was given a pair of turntables. He quickly immersed himself in London's budding dance music scene, playing sets of disco, rare groove, and electro at underground raves around the city. After being introduced to Chicago house in the late '80s Cox began producing his own tracks, making his debut in 1991 with proto-acid smash "I Want You (Forever)." The track landed at No. 23 on the UK Singles Chart, kicking off a decade-long run that saw Cox land an impressive eight singles on the charts. In addition to four studio albums, numerous compilation mixes, and dozens of acclaimed remixes, Cox has performed at some of the world's most prestigious clubs, earning himself international recognition as one of dance music's biggest names. Today, Cox continues to wow at festivals across the globe and introduce fans to the latest and greatest in house music.
