Carl Cox Creates ‘XMphony’ Using Sounds From The New BMW XM
Carl Cox has been flexing his creative muscles in a recent collab with BMW where he’s created a song using sounds from the new BMW XM.
While to some this collab may seem a bit out of the blue it is in fact a match made in heaven as Carl Cox is a prolific petrolhead.
Carl Cox’s history with BMW goes all the way back to his first car in 1990, the BMW 316 E30. It started a lifelong love for the brand with him always having at least 1 BMW in his impressive collection of cars. This continued adoration for the brand was bound to lead to some form of collaboration and what better way to bring these two worlds together than with music. Created using sounds from the new BMW XM including the rumbling V8, doors shutting, warning beeps, etc, ‘XMphony’ is a show of Carl Cox’s creative chops. He manages to transform these ordinary sounds into an emotional and powerful piece of techno fuelled by his love for motorsports.
Not only does Carl Cox have an impressive car collection for the road, but he has some impressive cars for the track.
Cox is a big figure in drag racing where instead of getting his adrenaline from DJing to thousands of people, he gets his adrenaline from driving cars with thousands of horsepower. Amidst his collection is a 5000bhp Pro Mod which he has fired down a ¼ mile in under 6 seconds. As well as this he founded Carl Cox Motorsports in 2013 with which he’s sponsored and supported various teams and drivers around the globe on 2,3, and 4 wheels. Cox’s face is one you see a lot in the music world, but in motorsports you see him everywhere. Moto GP, Extreme E, Extreme H, the Isle of Man TT. If there’s engines and wheels, he’ll be there.
Getting to see artists enjoying their own vices outside of music is always interesting and Carl Cox is certainly enjoying the world of speed and noise. ‘XMphony’ offered a new challenge to the legendary DJ of meshing precision engineering with precision production which he smashed in his typical fashion. For those that find themselves partial to music and motorsport, keep an eye out on the track for the blinding blur of Carl Cox Motorsports.
