No insight, name dropping throughout
Gets boring very quickly - primarily a list of where and whom he has played with: relentless name dropping throughout, lacking humility. He even lists himself in the top dance music moments of history at the end. Whether this is true or not, let someone else make that call.What’s missing is insight into deeper questions around what it means to be a superstar DJ. For example, what sacrifices has he made to get to where he is? How has fame influenced his relationships? What are the negatives of partying? What are things he would tell a younger version of himself?

Carl Cox ..living the dream
In my opinion now reaching the ripe old age off 50,I was there back in the Day fro 89 to 93,doing the race scene,fortunately for me,I stopped taking the GEAR ..A lot never,that’s there choice not my’n,still got my Decks and a few 1000 records..But as For Mr Cox,no disputing he was a lover of music,played for the vibe and the tribe,money came he took it,you realy can’t blame him,as for Dropping names,if you was a actor,you’d talk about who you worked with,it’s what we talk about,our building blocks our past,and what we became,I seen all the big boys back in the day..My favourite was SASHABut Carl played with so much love you could feel it,the number of nights I’ve spent wanting to be in his shoes you can’t imagine ..Honestly really nice bloke.DJLEGENDAnd not forgotten his roots..Total respect my Man ..And in your book,you forgot the 90’s,well I did lolBut still have the vinyl,and every tune as a memory,and strangely enough,you can still smell the smoke machine lolBass place BirminghamAlways remember your PastIt’s what makes your FutureRespect Mr Carl Cox 👍

Carl Cox has smashed it!
Recently finished this book which I was keen to start as I seen Carl Cox play in the early '90s.I was keen to know how Carl gat started, how he grew up, influencers, etc and this book did not disappoint!.I like how Carl covers not only the 'great times' but the struggles, relationships with other DJs and the owner of Space.What a great guy, great sense of humor, humble .... with his feet firmly on the ground.Excellent book if you are into clubbing, music or DJing to understand how Carl came from not even having 50p for electricity, yo the superstar three-deck wizard that he is :-)Highly recomend

Self promotion
The book starts off OK but by the end you get the feeling that Carl isn't as humble as he states he is and likes to brag about how well he is doing. The stuff about Burning Man and his car collection just seem totally removed from reality. In the end I went off Carl Cox.

Amazing!
Carl Cox is the undisputed king of the dance floor and this book shows why. Cleverly written. Carl’s personality bounces off every page making it impossible to put this book down. What an amazing book about an amazing guy. To have helped create an industry and still be the biggest name in electronic music today is astounding. The book is as good an autobiography as you’d ever read. Buy it. Five stars.
