Came across it this evening > **[DJ Carl Cox: ‘When I tell people my story, they don’t believe it’](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/aug/19/dj-carl-cox-when-i-tell-people-my-story-they-dont-believe-it)** > > The three-deck wizard’s new memoir details a life behind the decks, from the Houses of Parliament to Honolulu – and tragedy in Venezuela. Now, he says, his baking is as popular as his music [For non -Brits the Guardian is a centre left newspaper. (If you are in the US, Marjory Taylor Green would call it communist 🙂 ) ---

Carl is a lovely guy, have known and worked with him for a long time. Can you guess who is who (circa 1990)? ![IMG_6098](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/scalermusic/original/2X/3/33704a073f3ff1ee2f0578f2d4898043fdb3c66e.jpeg) ---

Wow … 30+ years ago. Do you ever wonder where the time all went ? Mrs Yorkeman happened to be looking over my shoulder when I pulled your post up, and reminded me of the following, taken in 1970, of me doing a night show on the Uni radio station … and even though that was 50 years ago ![warwick 1970](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/scalermusic/original/2X/f/f2f9222d8f78c0039f9d9ea53179dc12b5b94ea3.jpeg) I was doing an ‘oldies’ show … go figure. ---

These photos are fantastic. In my memory, 2022 has appeared in many sci-fi movies. In the blink of an eye, it’s 2022 ---

Can’t believe I missed this post. Have always loved Cox’s performances and story. I always wanted to get to Space to see him in person but no such luck. Now I just pull some of his chords, map Scaler to a sequencer, fire up the Velodyne(s), drop som e and let the music play on. 🙂 Thanks for posting!
