A pioneer of electronic music
Born in Greater Manchester in 1962 to parents from Barbados, Carl spent his early life in south London.
His first love was, and still is, music. Inspired by disco, he bought his first set of turntables aged 15 and started performing as a mobile DJ.
But by the 1980s, influences like the Chicago house scene saw the dance music transform rapidly on this side of the Atlantic.
By the end of the decade, rave culture was sweeping the UK.
It was controversial, it was underground – and at the heart of the hysteria was Carl Cox. Thirty-five years on, he’s widely regarded as a pioneer of electronic music.
