Synopsis

From warm up DJ at the birth of Acid House to global main stage headline artist today, Carl Cox continues to inspire and influence audiences and artists. Carl has been everything from a recording artist and producer to label owner, radio DJ and broadcaster. He is still all these things and much more with his star shining brighter than ever. Oh yes, oh yes! tells the story, in his own words, of the man known as 'The Three Deck Wizard' on the rave scene before evolving into 'The People's Choice' and the King of Ibiza; a DJ and artist who remains at the very top of his game and continues to innovate and thrill music-lovers on the world's biggest stages.

Starting off as a shelf-stacker, grass cutter and scaffolder in the south London suburbs, Carl's phenomenal talents as a DJ grew out of a love of music nurtured in his parents' front room. In Oh yes, oh yes! he takes us to the heart of the party, from the UK rave scene to Burning Man and from Ibiza to Melbourne, and a career that in many ways is the story of club culture and an inspiration to all those who choose to follow their dreams turning him into a living legend along the way. Oh yes, oh yes! is a remarkably candid and intimate portrait of an artist who has never lost touch with the people who share the dancefloor with him.

'Carl is one of the few true pioneers of UK club culture internationally. He has opened the door to so many DJs and inspired so many, including me.' Gilles Peterson

'Carl Cox wrote the script of what it means to be a DJ.' David Guetta

'People use the term legend far too easily for my liking but Carl is legend personified.' Grooverider

'Carl has always been my favourite. He is the complete DJ, also the DJs DJ. Records come to life when he plays them, rooms come to life when he rocks them. His enthusiasm is infectious, his commitment complete.' Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim

Goodreads review by Richard

Carl Cox is an amazing dj. If you give into it he will rock your world. This book is great on history although I found it poorly ghost written and while it convered the breadth of his experiences, it stayed completely on the surface with no real depth or themes explored. It'll sell to the masses wel......more

Goodreads review by Melanie

A bit of a different read to my normal choice. Carl Cox has had a long and successful career as a DJ and was instrumental in the birth of dance scene music. I remember him from the nineties and my 20 year old daughter has been to raves this year and seen him command the dance floor. I enjoyed this a......more

Goodreads review by Calvin

I first learned of Carl Cox on a VHS concert of Fantazia, he was unique then and still remains an icon now. Thoroughly enjoyed his book and that he would even spend a chapter on mental health. Oh yes!......more

Goodreads review by Dave

Decent read. Carl Cox is a man I’ve known about for years, without really knowing much about him. I’ve always liked dance music and started dabbling more seriously with trance and stuff in my early 20s and hitting Ibiza without really knowing what I was doing and tried really hard to “understand” te......more
