One of the most charming DJs in the business. A musical ambassador and a veteran of acid house, a champion of techno, a dance music pioneer, label boss, and king of Ibiza, Coxy shared his story about mental health, as edm.com shares.
In a new interview with Music on my Mind, a campaign created to raise funds and awareness for mental health in the music community.
Carl is facing some of the most daunting challenges of his career, some of which were contrived by the pandemic. “40 years of working really hard as a self-employed DJ.
