I think the best set I've seen Carl Cox spin was at the Area:2 Festival in 2002. Nothing beats Carl fanning himself with his own vinyl and yelling to the crowd on the mic.

"Give it up for me....Carl Cox. C'mon!!"
I love his trademark mic shoutouts.

I have two best nights that I've experienced at a club/party..

First being at the Guvernment/Kool Haus in March 2004 with Digweed and Corsten. It was my first time at Guvernment and my first time in a club that played EDM. It was too overwhelming being a newbie walking from the Digweed to Corsten room. I actually enjoyed Digweed more than seeing Tiesto at Guv in June 2004.

Second fave was at a club in my city last July and going nuts to a local area DJ named Jay Hamilton (similar sounding to Preach). It was a very small intimate club with about 300 people but the whole vibe felt like a big venue because people were enjoying themselves so much and in their own zone. That night I brought along a friend who had never heard any electro or progressive house but by the end of the night she was going crazy too and had a huge smile on her face! Danced for nearly 4 hours and had nearly as much fun as I did at Guv.

Two stick out for me.

Carl Cox at Decadence 1 - that was the start of my love for techno

My fav party of all time.....Yoji....he owned me and he single handedly was able to change music for me. I have not truly been able to fully enjoy another night out since Yoji. If he comes back to Toronto that will be my last party

Haha...I am mistaken...THIS was my first EDM event, not Decadence...and he dropped an impressive set that night (esp. the house portion of it!!!)

oh hell yeah!!

I haven't always had the pleasure of being able to watch him from behind either out of the 7 or 8 times I have seen him.. though Dagobert last year was another night in particular that was amazing.

That is one thing I love so much about Carl.. he is just the life of the party! You can't help but shake your ass to his sets and I can't even think of how many people I know now who actually started listening to some techno because of him.
He just seems like such an overall nice guy too who has built up a pretty big empire between his Global radio, Space @ Ibiza nights, Carl Cox & friends tours, Intec etc..
I personally think every EDM lover should make it a point to check him out at least once.. well worth it!

Reading all the posts reminds me of great times that have been had.. and brings back the regrets for times that I have missed..

My 2 favorite @ the moment..

Sander Kleinenberg - Space, Miami - WMC 2006

Although I had seen him before.. he was 100 times better this time.

Carl Cox @ Space - Ibiza (August 06)

This man owns the island. It was on my list of things to do in life.. and now that it has been checked off.. I can't wait to do it again..
