Carl Cox is heading to Oasis Festival in Morocco for the fourth instalment of the event, which has gone from strength to strength since inception. 

The dance music legend makes his debut at the boutique North African party this year, where a host of other enticing names are set to play. The Black Madonna goes b2b with Derrick Carter, Actress and Mount Kimbie will DJ together, while Avalon Emerson, Jessy Lanza, Nastia, Octo Octa, Paul Temple, Powder, Rødhåd, Tim Sweeney, and William Djoko have also all been confirmed at the time of writing. 

Tomorrowland has added Carl Cox, Alan Fitzpatrick, Aly & Fila, Martin Garrix, Mind Against, and Paul van Dyk to the list of names set for this year's festivals, held in the fittingly named city of Boom, Belgium.

Liam Gallagher once again professed his disdain for the dance community by boasting about never meeting master-selector Carl Cox.

“I've never heard of Carl Cox. Who is he?” responded Gallagher to a Junkee reporter after being questioned if they had ever casually hung out. The iconic singer-songwriter later added he “doesn't hang out with DJs. Fuck that, man."

Carl Cox has launched a new label with a focus on live electronic acts. Dubbed Awesome Soundwave (ASW), its debut release is courtesy of label co-founder Christopher Coe, aka Digital Primate.

The label’s debut EP will be available 02nd March, and features Coe’s forthcoming album track ‘Headland’ along with remixes by Reinier Zonneveld, Fabio Neural, Robin Kampschoer and Sly Faux.

Junction 2 has announced a swathe of all-star b2b performances for its third edition, with the don Carl Cox going toe-to-toe with Drum Code’s Adam Beyer.

Both Cox and Beyer will also perform separately at the festival too which will be taking place at London’s Boston Manor Park on 9th June.

Ahead of the festival, Adam Beyer said: "It's a dream come true. Playing back-to-back with one of my absolute heroes will be one of the highlights of my life personally as well as professionally".

Carl Cox has delivered the first Essential Mix of 2018. You can listen to it below.

As deftly mixed as we’d expect from a man who was among the first to champion three-deck mixing, it features a host of astutely chosen cuts, with established names such as Riva Starr, Eats Everything, Booka Shade and Anja Schneider rubbing shoulders with fledgling acts like Tom Cole, Fabio Neural and Chris Coe. 

Carl Cox will helm the BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix this weekend, ushering in its 25th anniversary on Saturday 6th January. The 4am broadcast will be the debut Essential Mix of 2018.

Cox curated his first Essential Mix in October 1994 for the program’s 49th episode.
