So much has been said about one of the world's greatest DJs…

Carl Cox is a powerhouse of a man with an encyclopaedic knowledge of dance music, seemingly limitless reserves of energy, and a passion for his craft that has never for a minute faded into cynicism. He is indisputably one of the best-loved DJs in the world, and has long been a favourite of Australian clubbers.

With a history dating back to the very start of the acid-house revolution, the first nights of Paul Oakenfold's The Project and Danny Rampling's Shoom club, Carl has always continued to push musical boundaries, to work hard and to do it on his own terms. Despite his accomplishments, Carl has always remained the antithesis of the typically egotistical DJ, actively maintaining a connection with the dancers on the floor, never isolating himself from his audience. His DJing reflects his open mindedness and the experiences that his world travels bring. It is this that has earned Carl Cox the distinction as one of the best entertainers in the world.

His huge success has led to a string of awards - this year alone, the NME Brats Award for Best DJ, Outstanding Contribution to Dance Music at both The Diesel U: Music Awards and Dancestar Awards as well as Best DJ at The Dancestar Awards. He's also found success on the radio (Carl's weekly radio show Carl Cox: Global is syndicated around the world to around 10 million people) and as a TV presenter. But for Carl, the main thing will always be the music, and he focuses all of his considerable energies on it, running his own small independent label, In-Tec (International Techno), and currently writing and recording his third album as an artist, working on musical collaborations with the likes of Norman Cook, Josh Wink and Christian Smith, and moving into soundtracks. But most of all, Carl has been travelling the world doing what he loves best - taking the music to the people on the dancefloor.

Stay tuned for news of the Carl Cox Global Tour …
Australian dates for December 2003 will be announced next week.
