About the Artist

Who Is Carl Cox?

Born in Barbados in 1962 and raised in Surrey, England, Carl Cox started DJing at age 8 on borrowed gear. His 1991 debut single I Want You reached #23 in the UK and earned him a Top of the Pops appearance. At the 1988 Sunrise rave he pioneered three-deck mixing for 15,000 people — a technique now standard in the industry. DJ Magazine named him the world's number one DJ in 1997. His 15-year Space Ibiza residency (2001–2016) remains one of the longest in dance music history. Now marking 50 years behind the decks in 2026, Cox performs at XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club at Wynn Las Vegas — FREE with NoCoverVegas guest list.
