About to embark on the national Big Day Out tour and a run of anticipated solo club-dates around the country, world renowned techno DJ Carl Cox spoke with inthemix recently, going into detail on the highs and lows of his year in 2007.
Carl revealed that his personal highlight had been the roaring success of his King Of Clubs night at Space in Ibiza, which was a stark contrast to the horror of his gig at the Red Noise Festival in Caracas, Venezuela, where a gunman opened fire while Cox was DJing, tragically killing 4 punters.
“I think it’s really important to realise what’s going on around you, especially when something like that happens,” Carl remarked, before explaining his suspicions when about to play the gig.
“To be honest, I did have a certain reservation when I went on to play at this venue. Not with the people, [but] with the security. Sure enough, how I felt is what was lacked… if they had metal detectors or the guys [security] did their job, it would never have happened.”
Check out the interview in two parts, now streaming on ITM!
> Part 1 [Audio]: Looking back on 2007

Jeez, talk about a sensationalist headline. Is this inthemix or The Daily Telegraph?
angy says...
I think that with four people dead, it's fair to say that the shooting incident was horrific... Nothing much sensationalist about that!
roachford says...
I'm not sure how else someone can be killed, other than 'tragically'.
mofunk says...
wait till the audio interviews are released (as it says above) before you make an opinion - the interviews go into great detail on the incident and is a really really good listen...

Can be tickled to death by a butterfly...

I think you all know what i'm saying.. why didn't you just wait to post the full interview? It just smells of a cheap publicity tactic to me!
i_have_ADD says...
never thought i'd have someone reprimand me for using the word 'horror' to describe a gunman opening fire and murdering 4 people inside a nightclub. pretty over the top eh, sorry to offend mate!
Underwater says...
Hey, don't get me wrong - i think you guys put in a lot of hard work to get a good range of artists' info on here. Just something in me recoiled a bit when i saw that striking headline, and reminded me of tabloid newspapers. People get shot outside clubs in Kings Cross all the time, but i've never seen a headline reading 'Uzi 9mm showers the X with disco bullets'. Lol, it's all good, looking forward to hearing the other 95% of what Cox had to say.

"I'm not sure how else someone can be killed, other than 'tragically'." Ever seen a clown get run over by his own, tiny little car? Its pretty funny.
