“I’ve never ever planned a set, not once. I’ll make a selection of 100 records, it’s like eight record boxes when I choose my set”.
Carl Cox has come a long way with DJing, perfecting his craft through vinyl and gives credit to his early years as a clubber.
“I was a clubber before I was a DJ, so I know what it’s like…I’m able to transmit exactly what I would want to hear on the dance floor. I almost get jealous, because I would like to be on the dance floor when I’m playing certain records, certain tracks, creating certain moments”.
The proof is in the pudding, and the MODEL 1 is the mixer without boundaries, he says:
“I don’t know any other mixer that has the ability to go this far in its scope of its frequencies…working and sculpting sound on each channel. There’s no boundaries”, he explains.
He ends of with giving his allegiance to the technology:
“This setup gives you so much ability to be creative. I’ve been using this for about a year, with no desire to start introducing anything new”.
