Carl Cox: Space Is The Place | Resident Advisor

[@grizcuz]

Back in 1989/90 me and some mates who were DJ's got involved with some party promoters, they were the resident warm up DJ's and the rest of us helped with promotion. They decided to book Carl Cox for one. A mate discovered that there was a little room not open to the public above where he was DJing where we could look directly down on his mixing without him knowing about it. We spent a good hour just watching the man and his 3 deck mastery in action. He was like a robot, everything he did was so smooth and accurate. He'd be mixing one tune into another with one hand whilst cueing another on the third deck. He's also a brilliant bloke and despite being the Godfather DJ of the scene at that time, he was really good to us all, signed our flyers, took time to chat to us etc. I think what that taught me as a teenager is that you don't have to be an arrogant arsehole to get somewhere. You can be a 'nice person', treat people with respect and courtesy and still succeed. Never heard anyone say a bad word about Mr Cox in the twenty plus years he's been at the top of his game.

well said...thank you.

[@AntonVilanov]

Amen brother! Carl is a true legend. I can think of only a few names who had such a massive impact on shaping electronic music to what it is today.

[@jimmys6502]

I like him more and more. In the 90's when he was 3 deck wizard I liked him but now with technology he has took it to a new level. Great to hear he is a nice guy and you can see he gets proper into his sets!!!

[@mjamusicswitzerland]

thanks....so true....Carl is a legend...

[@M_D_md]

Probably the most inspiring video I have ever seen about dance music. This man, Carl Cox, does not simply play music. He is living it, right through us, the people that come to his parties. Needless to say he is THE Living Legend that impersonates electronic music culture like no one else does. THANK YOU CARL.

[@ryangroves5554]

Marco Dingler well said, ive only just seen this video

[@nataliaklapheck3126]

Space was always about pure passion! You could feel it the moment you walked in there! Aboslute freedom - what a good doc!

[@postmanpat6]

Thanks for uploading this. I forgot to record it last night. Carl is a legend. A Dj before it became the fashionable thing. He has great longevity because he is very likeable and very skilled at his job.

My favorite documentary film of the entire year. Big up to all production crew involved, this one is a masterpiece.

[@chuck26245]

great doco...cheers for posting... Fantazia was the first electronic music I ever heard back when I was 15... I still listen to that mix 20 something years later and it's just as special now as it was then... I have Carl Cox to thank for my love of techno

[@gothboi4ever]

I love Carl so much. Seriously I look up to him. He is my Idol. I pursue to be as amazing as he is one day.

[@jasonwilliams9930]

[@veespa_]

thank you!

[@duchessofdub]

Thank You Sir for your years of Service to the crowds.

[@kimchi_b]

What a lovely fella, one love Carl, still hope to meet you one day

[@TheManLab7]

I am so privileged to say that I was there 😊❤️ I was to the side of the lighting booth and watching the bloke do his work. He's got skill. They gave him a shout out at the end. I'm also happy that my brother got to experienced it. As soon as I heard SPACE was closing I went straight on line and bought tickets. That is me on the scooter, getting beached on the floor full of bottles and getting stuck with my brother. Being ushered out as I kept shouting out " ONE MORE TUNE!!" The bouncers really weren't in the mood as you could imagine 😂 But then again. He was playing till 8:45, so I'll let him off 🙃

[@peterjonas4293]

wow well captured!!! especially, how VIP spread across the world and island... we've been going since 2008, and the change is noticeable in almost every step...

[@Danil394]

I cried on this one 'cause I've been dreaming that one day I will enter the famous terrace... but now it's gone

[@FinalBoys1982]

Danil394 you can still see Carl Cox somewhere else around the world or at Resistance. Other clubs that are worth visiting are Berghain, Amnesia on a techno night, Kompass in Gent, Bassiani in Tbilisi, Clorophilla in southern Italy and Cocorico in Rimini Italy. I’m sure there are others. Those are the ones I know. I wish Gatecrasher, God’s Kitchen, Number One (Italy), The Tunnel (NY), and Club Universe (SF) we’re still open.

[@eltoya9216]

There’s Space in Miami that’s worth visiting. I’ve never been to the one in Ibiza so I’m not sure if it’s the same feel.. but I’ve seen some great sets on the terrace there!!

[@onemoresi]

Space was one of the best clubs on the island, not sure it'll be the same vibe if we go next year. It'll be hard to replace.

[@ryanm3513]

Loved Space and Revolution nights 👍🏼👍🏼 ... used to love the openings and closings too!

[@TheseOpenRoads]

Glad I got to experience it..

[@Psyolopher]

Carl Cox, such a legend. Seems likes the nicest bloak around too! Big ups, huge inspiration!

[@jonny7231]

Best DJ ever.

[@J77housedj]

RA... you done yourselfs and carl proud. Great insight into a man from grass roots to a godfather.

[@hykeletdjkel]

world need Carl cox !!!

[@lucasm3879]

My two penneth on this brilliant doc: Despite the commercial aspect, which admittedly is unfortunately going to continue to grow, ibiza still has something magical imo, and is still pretty much heaven if you love clubbing and 'electronic' music. the clubs have always been expensive, going back to the 80's. I watched 'a short film about chilling' recently on youtube, made in 1990, and for house music history geeks like me, the contrast in scale and the business side of the scene is fascinating to see. despite that though, I still think you can experience the same ethos, just on a massively bigger scale (obviously if you stay away from the commercial parties). Gutted about Space though - that was pretty much the perfect club for me. what a great icon for the whole scene carl cox has been though - always still gives to the people with all his energy every time, for decades now, and always got time for fans - genuinely deserves everything he has.

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

Clubs got expensive all of a sudden 1989. Cheap before that. I'm talking £5 to £20 admission almost overnight.

[@MrKeeponrolin]

Beautifully made, I really enjoyed watching it.

[@cnjecture8312]

Simply amazing. Thank you Carl!

[@kemalcemen4719]

Ohhh yes ohhh yes my love ❤️ #carlcox the legend 🙌🙌🙌

[@djboydanny]

so humble so undisputed and unmatched, the King of Ibiza and a genre of Music, what a DJ, seen him all over and now it's oh no oh no, but like Carl said himself, "time waits for no one", as a 20+ years fan meaning I'm getting old but this Living LEGEND says it all, he hit the nail on the head with the disease called rubbish edm, I paid 50 euros for 11 hrs of CARL COX @ the final chapter @ Space Ibiza, and it was worth 1,000,000, No DJ comes no where near his quality or presence in the booth, Carl if ur reading this I've a tattoo of Music is Revolution Carl Cox on my back, because you are SIMPLY THE FUCKING BEST!!!! OH YES OH YES OH FUCKING YES, CARL COX!!!!

[@nathansaunders1474]

Yeah get ya kids now Mr Carl Cox and have fun raising them as it's one of life's blessings

[@pammiegoo]

Amazing!

[@97kewj]

Carl Cox is a legend, but is he not aware that entry to Space is €50 - the exact same as Ushuaia? 13:35

[@highseasonintl]

when i went to space their promoters were giving out $20 before midnight wristbands on every corner

[@djboydanny]

entry for 50 euros for 11 hrs of the King isnt value for money, it's out of this world!!!

[@SimonMacatis]

Paying €50 for a night at Space is much more worth than paying €50 for a Cocktail at Ushuaia. God, that spirit has gone...

[@jeanbr.2367]

King Cox!!!

[@prodj.school]

So inspiring ! Amazing!!

Does anyone know what that floating ambient track is playing from 34:45 onwards as Pepe is speaking?!!! Amazing

Great video! Carl was nice enough to appear in my documentary about record collectors last year. He generously gave me an hour of his time when he was visiting Sydney. It's called 'Gathering Grooves', it's on my channel, please check it out!

Love how he bashes Ushuaia for the VIP culture yet space charges you 40 euro for a double vodka redbull & 10 euro for a 250ml bottle of water xDDD

[@taurusnyy]

wow u lost the whole point if ur dumb ass is thinking about drink prices- u dont like em take drugs or dont drink- either way party or stfu

[@gehtdichnichtsan5756]

wtf... HE lost the whole point with those drinking prices....

[@FB-mw5gv]

That's why u take drugs instead

[@einball]

Take drugs and not drink anything. Sounds like collapsing from dehydration, heat stroke or exhaustion. Sounds like fun :)

The VIP bit was pretty depressing, soon Ibiza will just be for Rich Kids of Instagram types. If it isn't already.

[@10topowerof8]

You might be right. It definitely is going in that direction thanks to Abel Matutes Jr. I really don't think I will ever return. A real shame.

[@Comeonmate7]

hey i'm 20 years old, and i've been saving for a trip to Ibiza, always wanted to go to Space. But with this news it sounds like it's not the same atmosphere anymore, would you still recommend going? Or try somewhere else? Considering I would be be on a budget, and just going for the love of the scene ahah

[@albion7186]

Comeonmate7 I'm 24 and I went last year for 1 night. Flew early Tuesday, chilled during the day, watched Prydz b2b with Deadmau5 (for free and even watched in the dj booth) in the evening, then Prydz and Co until 6am Wednesday morning, then flew home. Flights and show cost £100 (and nothing on hotels because I didn't sleep). You can definitely do it on a budget

[@albion7186]
