DJ Carl Cox
British DJ Carl Cox, who is regarded as a techno legend, will perform in Delhi-NCR on January 16 and Mumbai on January 17 later this month, after almost 19 years.
Cox's 1991 debut ‘I Want You’ cracked the UK Top 40 and ‘F.A.C.T.’ (1995) became a techno bible, selling 250,000 copies. In 2024, he received DJ Mag's inaugural Outstanding Contribution Award, celebrating 30 consecutive years in their Top 100.
If you weren't there to witness him then, he is definitely going to turn the volume up this January with his techno beats.
