I was telling DJ Michael Rackley that I wanted to make a Pride Month mix - but that somehow I wanted to put a new spin on the concept, a new twist. 

From that vague thought and him hearing me out, a week later, I have a new mix.

It starts with a few clouds, but by the third track, they blow away and the sun comes out.  I think it is a fundamentally happy mix to help you celebrate this month.

---- 

I'm not sure I can precisely define "pride", but I know that being free is part of it - the knowledge of who you are, the courage and space to express it, as well as the confidence to allow and support others in their freedom.

This mix is about freedom.  It starts with struggling to be free.  From there, we deal with having to let another be free, and then wishing for freedom.  The mood moves up to feeling free, pleading for freedom, and then appreciating it; and rises again to revel in it. It ends with the ultimate - the freedom to spread our wings and take flight.

May you all have the insight and courage this Pride Month to be who you truly are.

This mix is dedicated to Michael Rackley for his friendship, and his support in my learning the craft.

••• SPECIAL NOTE •••
Razor N Guido have always been an inspiration to me, and their records made me want to become a better producer. They were the Kings of the New York Hard House sound at the turn of the Millennium, but their musical talents went far beyond that, both collectively and individually.

I met Guido in 1999, already a fan of his and his partner Razor. Guido was more incredibly warm and genuine than I would have ever imagined, especially for someone that was creating such aggressive music. He instantly welcomed me into the New York "crew" and introduced me to everyone as a peer. He is one person in the dance music scene that I have never heard a bad thing said about. 

His talents and charming personality will be missed.
Respect....
Chris

Guido of Razor N Guido Tribute Mix (Mixed By Chris Cox)

Wow, it’s hard to find the words to explain how amazing it was to play at this years Sydney Mardi Gras, so instead I wanted to share my set with everyone who was there & those who weren’t to experience it with me.

I had the community show after 30mins of my set, which I’ve removed from my set.

I set myself a brief for the night, which was about creating ‘Moments’, how do I bring music to those people on the dance floor to experience moments together with friends. 

I also wanted to send some love to a few of my talented friends, who's remixes that I played on the night and love these tracks so much: DJ Grind, Toy Armada & a classic Whitney track from Wayne G, they deserve as much credit as possible for these beautiful remixes.
