Kent:
Seriously. I'd think Cox would always get love in Detroit.
1. He is a first rate Techno DJ.
2. He's from the UK, and plays the top clubs there but hasn't
turned into a total money grubbing whore like a lot of UK
DJs I could name.
3. He's a genuinely nice guy.
What's not to like?
You're bang on the money with 2 and 3 - but I'd hesitate to call him a
first-rate techno DJ though. He's certainly got the skills but he
plays a lot of really crap records at times and he's always very
commercial and accessible - doesn't take a lot of risks. I know he can
rock a party and all that but I'm not into the music he plays...
I would have to concur after seeing him @ The End in London, when he played
progressive house 'til me ears bled. :< and @ the Metro in Chicago when he
housed it up for a while (which was fabulous) then moved into the
progressive stuff. In my mind, that certainly wasn't a very good read of the
crowd - he was in Chicago, after all. And Tom's spot on about the
risk-taking. Not a whole lot of innovation, even if the mixing is flawless,
almost inspiring.
And one more thing: WHY does he spin with Jim Masters so much? Must be his
mate or something. He blows! I was tortured by him on both of the occasions
above. This guy has *nothing* to offer to the world of electronic music.

Out of order mate ,
you say Jim Masters has *nothing* to offer on the basis
of seeing him twice ?! How long have you been going out , 6 months ?
Although i am by no means a big fan of every set Jim has played he has
played some excellent sets from time to time ( after Rob Hood @ the End
being the most recent ) , and has brought a lot of people over to the U.K.
over the last decade who would never have been heard over here otherwise .
Many artists from the U.S. got to play at the Open nights because of Jim and
he has done more for electronic music than many people who shout about
themselves much louder .
Like i say , i'm not his biggest fan but you should not go dissing
someone so totally when you obviously know nothing about them . I sincerely
hope that your problem is ignorance rather than attitude .
Phil.
