“Four turntables, boxes and boxes of vinyl, a huge light and sound rig and thousands going crazy in Rotterdam…”

Kevin Saunderson has shared some footage of a b2b set he played alongside Carl Cox 20 years ago in Rotterdam.

Split into five parts and posted to Saunderson’s Instagram, the footage shows the two old friends playing a vinyl-only set to an adoring crowd as part of that year’s Carl Cox and Friends party at Ahoy in Rotterdam.

Also featured at the event were Michel De Hey, Onallee, Pablo, Saffron, and Secret Cinema.

In the caption, Saunderson wrote: “I’m looking at this footage of me b2b Carl Cox and can’t believe it was a whole 20 years ago. But who could forget a night like this? Four turntables, boxes and boxes of vinyl, a huge light and sound rig and thousands going crazy in Rotterdam… This was 2004 and Carl had invited me to play his ‘Carl Cox and friends’ party. We’d first met in the mid 90s and become friends; Carl travelled to Detroit, we booked him for Movement and we’d been making music together too (check the track Vibes Of Energy) so going b2b was a natural thing to do.

“As you can see we got right into the zone and were feeding off each other’s energy and really collaborating on the set… It was the vinyl days and you had to be extra sharp, especially across four decks and on such a big stage. But those are the moments you live for as a DJ and as you can see from the last photo, we’re still throwing down together to this day!”

Earlier this year, Kevin Saunderson collaborated with his son, Dantiez, on a new e-Dancer track, ‘Melodica’. Carl Cox was came in No. 31 in DJ Mag’s 100 Best DJs poll. Last month, Cox announced his Carl Cox Invites takeover for Ultra Miami 2025.
