Here we go, the Carl Cox closing - a night we've all been waiting with such eager levels of anticipation that it almost drove us stark raving mad. The doors might have opened at 8 PM, but the queues began snaking their way around Space as early as 5 PM, and that says it all, folks. We gathered en masse for the big man with hankies ready for the tears and sweat in equal measure. He reigned down with the classics and modern spins through the highest echelons of bangin' techno. “FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC” and “OH YES, OH YES” were heard booming through the Discoteca on numerous occasions throughout his nine-hour final storm and as the clock hit 8 AM, he adorned a pink wig and then let the tears spill as we raised our hands to give him some Ibiza love because he's been giving it to us straight for 15 years. What a man. What a legend. What a night.
We tried to whittle it down to 10 and as it proved too tough a task, here are 15 bad boys from Carl Cox's last ever residency set at Space.
