Carl Cox has a Global Underground mix album on the way.
Cox will release his debut Global Underground mix album, 'Black Rock Desert,’ on 25 Jan 2010. Taken from a storming 2 hour set in The Opulent Temple in the Black Rock Desert this summer.Both CDs are bursting with exclusives. CD1 includes the whacked out groove of Tiefschwarz’s 'Trust’ and Onionz’s 'Spacebass’ (Original Mix), with its rocket jet booms and spiralling percussion. Guy J’s 'Lamur’ (Henry Saiz remix) drops a tribal robot stomp, before the shuffling beats of Alan Fitzpatrick’s 'Green Light’ take over. Fitzpatrick also supplies a panting re-rub of 'Slice’ from New York techno legend Joey Beltram.
'Main Room Part 1’ by Robbie Rivera opens CD2, with piercing strings launching into a harder, more madcap mix that is Carl’s favourite of the two. Joachim Gaurraud’s 'No Techno In This Room Please’ is a highlight with clanging bin-lid percussion, echoing howls and submarine bass wallops. 'Perfect Sunrise’ by Wilson Smallwood & Ingram drops in gloopy twists reminiscent of 808 State’s 'Pacific State’ and Politeca’s 'What Kind Of World’ closes with its pulsing, jazzy undertones.
No label encapsulates dance music's international explosion and restless creativity quite like Global Underground. Launched in 1996 with a Tony de Vit mix album based on a visit to Tel Aviv, it has expanded from a world-famous series of defining DJ mix CDs into all areas of cutting edge dance music. They have released artist albums for acts like James Lavelle's UNKLE, soundtracked some of the world’s most popular TV shows, including CSI, and some of PlayStation's biggest selling games, and staged fantastic parties in some of the world’s most exotic locations - not to mention selling over three million CDs. And now they’ve touched down in Nevada.
Global Underground presents Carl Cox: Black Rock Desert is out 25 Jan 2010.
2010 also sees Carl relaunch his legendary Intec label, and release his hotly-tipped new artist album.
