This month, Carl Cox celebrates the 10th year of his Carl Cox & Friends arena at Ultra Music Festival in Miami. In the beginning, Carl had wanted to create a festival within a festival, a place where people could experience music on a deeper level by artists who understand how to take their audience on a real musical journey - an antithesis of the formulaic one hour sets that litter main stages by so-called ‘superstar DJs.’
The arena has grown quite organically for ten years now and has a real energy swirling about it as people completely invested in the musical experience. Production wise, the arena balances both art and technology within a sonic playground perfected for all your senses and Carl curates the line-up each day. Carl was recently asked to what did he attribute his success:
“Every day I want to know what the next record sounds like, where the next artist is coming from. I want to still excite myself by listening to music. I want to play those records and share them with people. I enjoy it; my office is behind the DJ booth. Without all the sparkles and lights around it, at the end of the day, it’s just me and the music.”
