/in /by

Carl Cox is an industry figurehead whoā€™s legacy in music includes his iconic label Intec, which he runs with friend and business partner Jon Rundell.

Following recent releases from the likes of Boris, Darren Emerson, Cristian Varela and Tomy DeClerque, this new collaborative EP presents Olly Davis and Carbon Electra.

From a young age Northern Ireland born Olly Davis had a fascination with rhythm and grew up playing the Irish Bodhran Drum. Getting older, he soon discovered electronic music and his love of percussion translated well into the sequenced loop of a drum machine. Picking up DJ residencies and playing for nights such as Defected In The House, Cream, and Ministry Of Sound, Olly has supported some of the worldā€™s biggest DJā€™s including Carl Cox who has signed him to Intec after spotting his talent both behind the decks and in the studio.

Olly, who now lives in Australia, has previously released on Rawsum, Hausity, Witty Tunes, plus Sam Devineā€™s label D-Vine Sounds. This collaboration with Carbon Electra showcases why Carl Cox considers him to be such a talent. Carbon Electra is a secretive artist making their debut release with this stunning collaborative EP.
