Carl Cox's legendary nights at Space have remained a staple of the island for some time now, and so it is that the King of Clubshimself will return to the hallowed arena for 12 nights of forward-thinking electronic music this season.
The opening party, on the 9th July promises to be a raucous affair, with Dubfire, Tania Vulcano, DJ Sneak and Nic Fanciulli joining the ringmaster himself.
As the weeks go on, there'll be plenty more surprises in store, too, not least in the shape of Adam Beyer and Laurent Garnier (16th July),Cassy and Marco Carola (23rd July) and of course, Carl's special birthday bash on the 30th July - where he'll be joined by Heidi,Yousef, Brodinski & Gesaffelstein as well as a host of others.
The middling period, however, is no less enticing, with Steve Rachmad(Listen his 4H exclusive podcasthere...), Davide Squillace , Guti and Paco Osuna bringing a mediterranean vibe to the party on the 6th August, before Deetron and Eats Everything weigh in on the 13th.
The 20th August is our own personal tip, as house veterans Masters at Work join Carl and Dyed Soundorom on the decks. The second installment of parties is neatly wrapped up on the 27th, with Just Beand Joris Delacroix.
They say the best is left until last, and this tends to be true with Coxy's parties too. Previous season have brought the likes of Green Velvet and Richie Hawtin to the party, while this year's edition looks set to be every bit as exhilarating as previous sessions.
The 3rd September bash looks set to go down in island folklore, with Detroit legend Carl Craig joined by NYC deep-house aficionado DJ QU, as well as A-listers such as Nina Kraviz and Loco Dice. The 10th September is arguably the night's most eclectic of the season, as both Adam Beyer and Fatboy Slim join in on the action. The 17th will see RA's number.1 DJ of 2012, Seth Troxler, take to the decks, with Uner, Nic Fanciulli and more in tow, while the season extravaganza, on the 24th September, will see Cox closing the curtain alongside DJ Sneak, Loco Dice, tINI, Jon Rundell and Yousef for a party that's always that extra bit special.
"It's 12 years and we're back with a bang," says Coxy. "We always try to keep things fresh, making the night better with each year that passes. I'm a big believer of moving forward so whilst keeping everything that worked last year we're moving into a new phase too with some wicked guests, some familiar faces, and as always a few surprises... This year, the party truly unites!...Bring it on."
