When you hear the name Carl Cox, it resonates with the full back catalogue of dance music history. A true pioneer, Carl has helped shape the sound and culture of the scene from its earliest days, paving the way for generations to follow. He’s not just a legend—he’s a generous champion of fresh talent, always opening doors and pushing boundaries.

So, it’s a real privilege—and a bit of a full-circle moment—to welcome Carl to the podcast. I’ve had the honour of working with him for over 20 years, capturing moments on countless shoots at events around the world, as well as creating press images and those unforgettable front covers.

This was supposed to be a one-hour chat… but let’s be honest, there was no way that was going to be enough. So here’s Part 1—where we dive into where it all began for Carl, how our paths first crossed, the surreal moment of being on op of the Pops with Michael Bolton, and his epic plans for bringing that inimitable Carl Cox energy back to Ibiza in 2025.

Part Two is on the way soon—but for now, lock in for the one, the only… CARL COX.

In this episode of Frame the Beat, I’m joined by a very special guest and good friend — the incredibly talented DJ Jess Bays.

Jess is a true force on the global dance scene, lighting up dancefloors from Ibiza to Brazil, Australia to the USA. She’s commanded massive festival stages including Parklife, Latitude, Reading & Leeds, and We Are FSTVL, and her tracks are regularly picked up by major players like Defected, Warner, Universal, and Sony.

You’ve likely heard her music blasting across the airwaves on BBC Radio 1, Kiss, and Capital — and when she’s not behind the decks, Jess she’s been behind the mic as a presenter on Rinse FM and Capital Dance, with frequent guest spots on Kiss and Radio 1. Simply put, she’s everywhere — and she’s smashing it.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Jess on press shoots and capturing her electric energy at live events, and over time, we’ve built a solid friendship. That means this episode isn’t just about the music — we’re diving into deeper conversations, stories from the road, and what drives Jess behind the scenes.

Tune in for a proper natter — it’s one you won’t want to miss.

Trigger warning - please note; we do touch on tough subjects such as eating disorders and addiction.
