Carl Cox (born 29 July 1962, Barbados) is a British DJ, house and techno producer.
In the 1980s, Cox was a hardcore/rave DJ, and became a mainstay DJ in the electronica industry. He has performed at numerous clubs and events worldwide and has served as a monthly DJ for BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix. He has hosted a residency known as 'Music is Revolution' every summer season at the world renowned nightclub, Space Ibiza, from 2001 to 2016.
He runs the record label, Intec Digital, which was founded in 1999 as Intec Records. Cox also has his own radio show, entitled 'Global' which is syndicated across the world.
He has featured his own 'Carl Cox & Friends' stage at many festivals, such as Ultra Music Festival, the BPM Festival, Awakenings.
At the age of fifteen years, Cox began working as a mobile DJ, finding a passion for disco music. He began his music career around the same time that Chicago house music found its forefront in the world of dance music. He eventually became known as one of the founders of that sound and rode the exploding British rave scene. Following the beginning of his DJ career, he became one of the only DJs known to utilize three-deck mixing. Cox has performed at clubs such as The Eclipse, Edge, Shelley's Laserdome, Sterns Nightclub, Heaven, Sir Henry's in Cork, Ireland and Angels and The Haçienda, as well as raves for Fantazia, Dreamscape, NASA and Amnesia House.
