“The Wizard” DJ Brian Coxx, co-creator and resident DJ of the weekly Wednesday night party, Soulgasm NYC, which just celebrated its 4 year anniversary, has taken New York City by storm. Music enthusiasts, party people and dancers from as far as Japan, Switzerland and Spain come to hear “The Wizard” who still believes in the art of DJing.
Growing up on B-boy and dance culture recording the late night mix shows from DJs such as Red Alert, Chuck Chill Out and Tony Humphries, Coxx has always been immersed in music, fusing rock, funk, soul and house to motivate party people from all walks of life. Coxx's diverse musical background is what sets him apart from the new jack DJs that have flooded the New York market as of late.
Starting out as a dancer, at clubs like Sound Factory Bar and Vinyl, Coxx was intrigued by the sounds the way the energy of a dope mix could move the crowd. It was just a matter of time before he started spinning records from his own extensive collection at various New York City clubs.
Currently, his mix leans towards The Deep Underground House sound, but his many different influences show up throughout, keeping it authentic to his roots. Coxx has been known to drop the needle on anything from the psychedelic rock of Jimi Hendrix to the dubbed out sounds of Lee Perry, while always working people's minds as well as their bodies.
Each week a loyal and talented following come to hear Brian and his style of mixing reminiscent of the days of clubs like Paradise Garage when the DJ would throw all types of music into their sets. Never afraid of changing tempos and always working your mind as well as your body, Brian keeps it all relative.
Brian Coxx’s diverse and heart pounding sets have led him to play alongside legends such as Louie Vega, Jellybean Benitez, Red Alert and Timmy Regisford for Club Shelter’s 15th year anniversary. It’s no wonder that making music would be the next step in this young, talented DJ-Producers career.
Recently, Coxx teamed up with production partner Alias Rhythm, for his first release called, ‘Nothing More’, which was released in 2009 on Shelter 157 Records. Coxx say, “It has a crossover appeal. It’s an old school concept with a new school sound.”
Also released in 2009 is Coxx’s EP ‘Soulgasm Sessions-Volume 1’ and the single “Gone feat. Yasmeen” both on Strictly Rhythm Music as well as remixes for ‘Little’ Louie Vega on Vega Records and Mr. V on Sole Channel Music.
Coxx will be starting his own label in 2010 ‘Soulgasm Music’.
