Carl Cox talks to BBC Sounds about his love for motorcycles and his plans to start a motorsport team for a new documentary titled Music and Motorbikes.
The UK music legend talks to host Rick Faragher about his too-early love of driving fast – available to stream till mid-May “I kind of lost my licence before I got a licence… I was known to the cops “— and how his passion for motorsport has led him to play all over the world.
In 2013, Cox launched Carl Cox Motorsport alongside Northern Irish racer Michael Dunlop, who won the team’s first title at the Isle of Man TT (or Tourist Trophy) in June 2014.
Cox remembers arriving at the race with just enough time to wish Dunlop good luck after flying straight from Ibiza.
He also talked about bonding with late The Prodigy frontman Keith Flint, who later ran his own racing team. The Prodigy’s single “Firestarter,” according to Cox, is the track with which he is most closely associated with racing.
