To create the artwork Carl, Mark Vessey flew to Australia to spend two days handpicking records from Carl Cox’s personal 150,000-strong vinyl archive. The final selection—featuring labels like Run DMC, Fleetwood Mac and Duran Duran—offers a deeply personal portrait of the legendary DJ through the records that shaped his life and sound.
