bosstrabs when Carl Cox rocked up to your town playing house records it was a fairly special thing

I grew up in London, so I guess it’s more that I was fortunate enough to be able to just head to The End and Fabric straight away.

    The last time I made the mistake of watching Cox he was shouting into a microphone ‘scream if you want to go faster’ at Space closing party before playing some horrific remix of De’lacy - Hideaway.

      Have seen Coxy twice. Both times he was at a festival, so it doesn’t really count, but anyways… The one time he played some NJ House style remix of Message in A Bottle. He kept cutting the volume during the “SOS” part of the vocal and yelling “Yes Oh Yes!” over the mic. The place was beyond dialed in. Remember thinking “this fucking sucks”. The crowd was at least 50% women of a certain age who all looked like they opted to be yoga teachers instead of librarians. The other time I saw him he played Hows Your Evening So Far, which was nice. Seems like a decent dude too. Still, I shant ever be darkening a tent or club door if his name is on the flyer ever again.

      My brother went Creamfields in Chelmsford the other week….Carl Cox was about the only decent DJ on the Saturday. Prob the only one I could recommend. Proper horror show.

      No prog!

      Carl Cox attracts a real smorgasbord of ne’erdowells and street rats to his nights. S to the werve

      It can also be very difficult to find a quiet spot to talk about mortgage increments.

        seanc80 Millsy already belted on train beers at 11pm when Coxy starts dropping the hammer, disappointed at the non-chug tempo and trying to have “a word in your shell-like” about tracker mortgages, trouser legs rolled up to show off his Jordan tattoo and olive New Balance monstrosities.

        Grim doesn’t begin to describe it.

            “bang, 132 BPM, let’s go”

            Once again, hold on to your horses fellas!!

              Seen him at Cream and Bugged out plenty of times, always been boss. Saw him at Feel circa 98 and was amazing. No mic back then iirc, which I think was for the best. Having seen live streams of him recently and the like, I can understand why he’s become a swerve.

              See Coxy a few times. Always been fun. But I’m pretty easy to please in a club. Don’t need much to enjoy myself.

              He draws a crowd of what looks like Dave Matthews fans here in the US. People with beaded car seat covers who like buying stickers on the venue’s parking lot, ex.

              I can remember when Coxy played at Bedrock and everyone on the old board was up in arms about his fans.

              “We don’t need their sort”

                I imagine he holds the record amongst Djs for most married couples who first met on one of his dance floors.
