A perennial favorite as the best DJ in the world according to fans as well as the major mixing magazines, Carl Cox has been a part of Britain’s dance scene from the heady days of disco through to the global clubland of the new millennium, with temporary pit stops covering hip-hop, the rare groove movement, and the immense rave revolution of the late ’80s. That large span of time has undoubtedly affected his choice of records, since Cox routinely detours through breakbeat, Italian house, and the dance mainstream during his usual sets of hard techno. Perhaps the best testament to his mixing skills is his immense popularity despite his focus on music much more intense than the brand of arena trance spawned by Oakenfold, Sasha, Digweed, and others.

Loco Dice’s tribal, sweetly funky, bassline driven, dance floor friendly skills have given him a residency at last year’s coolest club DC-10 and Germany’s favorite venue, Dusseldorf’s Tribehouse. He regularly tours America, both North and South, having played all the Spundae’s, all the Crobars, Creamfields and Pacha.His first release on 420 “Phat Dope Shit” has gone stellar, his remixes of Timo Maas’s “Help Me” had a worldwide release.

2003 saw Dice release two new tracks released on Four:Twenty ‘City lights’ and ‘Dynamite Love’ and also had remixes of both Phat dope shit (Saeed) and City lights (Martin Buttrich) released all of which received fervent support from the underground dance press and radio.

2004 see’s Dice with dates at Crobar (New York) and residencies at Tribehaus (Germany), Fever Versilia (Italy)& DC10 Circo Loco (Ibiza), and once again he will be continuing his constant touring of Europe.

Dice has recently been in the studio and has recorded some of his best work to date, one of the tracks ‘Cellar Door’ can be first sampled at the 2004 Miami Winter Music Conference a soon to be released one sided white label on Four:Twenty and man you gotta check this shit out!
