Lie in or early start? More often than not I’ll wake up in some hotel room on the other side of the world after a gig the night before. I still gig all the time. Often I have to delay my Sundays for 48 hours until Tuesday.
What’s on the stereo? Smooth FM all the way. The last thing I want to do on my day off is listen to techno. I’m done with it by then.
Childhood Sundays… Were spent meeting mates in the park and just hanging out. As I’m away travelling so much now, if I am back home, I still like to spend my Sundays catching up with friends and family.
What’s cooking? I love a roast, either at the pub or at home. Chicken is my speciality, but if I’m feeling particularly lazy I have been known to order a Sunday roast from Uber from my local pub.
A perfect Sunday? My big passion in life, apart from music, is drag racing. I run Carl Cox Motorsport. When I’m not working and if there’s a race on, I’ll get my helmet on, put my head down and hit speeds of up to 250mph in five or six seconds, before the parachutes do their job. It’s more exhilarating than DJ-ing at a massive event. At a gig, the scariest it gets is when a punter tries to put his pint glass on the decks. If I’m racing at Santa Pod [raceway], the G-force can reach anything between 4 and 5 Gs. I’m not sure how good it is for me, but the thrill is intense.
How do you wind down? It takes a while. I find the best way is to put my slippers on and settle down in front of an old episode of Only Fools and Horses. I love that show.
… there is a good reason why people choose not to support the Guardian.
Not everyone can afford to pay for the news right now. That’s why we choose to keep our journalism open for everyone to read. If this is you, please continue to read for free.
But if you can, then here are three good reasons to make the choice to support us today from India.
1. Our quality, investigative journalism is a scrutinising force at a time when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more.
2. We are independent and have no billionaire owner controlling what we do, so your money directly powers our reporting.
3. It doesn’t cost much, and takes less time than it took to read this message.
Choose to power the Guardian’s journalism for years to come, whether with a small sum or a larger one. If you can, please support us on a monthly basis from just $2. It takes less than a minute to set up, and you can rest assured that you’re making a big impact every single month in support of open, independent journalism. Thank you.
