Carl Cox releases 7-hour DJ set in Spatial Audio

Spatial Audio and Carl Cox partner to deliver what the global superstar does best: long-form house.

Techno titan Carl Cox just gifted the electronic dance world an early Christmas and/or Hanukkah present: a full seven-hour marathon set, recorded live during his birthday bash at Ibiza’s most talked-about new venue, [UNVRS]. As a second early holiday gift, the set is now streaming here exclusively on Apple Music in Spatial Audio, Apple’s surround-sound technology for headphones.

Captured this past July as part of his Sunday residency, the mix is pure Carl: a hypnotic journey from midnight to sunrise, drenched in groove, grit, and that unmistakable “Oh yes oh yes” energy that somehow makes any crowd feel intimate. Each transition is a masterclass in pacing, blending old-school acid with next-generation techno, reminding us why he’s still one of the most beloved figures in electronic music, decades beyond his initial ascent to stardom.

The set was recorded at [UNVRS], Ibiza’s newest and hottest club, where immersive technology meets human connection. Designed for adaptability and sensory overload, the venue is the brainchild of The Night League’s Yann Pissenem, the creative force behind Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza. And thanks to Spatial Audio, this mix doesn’t just play; it surrounds the listener, simulating a sunrise euphoria as if it were rising above the packed dancefloor.

This release marks a milestone for Apple Music’s partnership with The Night League, which continues to archive the island’s most unforgettable nights for global listeners. Alongside Cox’s seven-hour odyssey, Apple Music will also drop previously unreleased live sets from The Martinez Brothers and WhoMadeWho, recorded at Hï Ibiza, further expanding its growing digital museum of Balearic brilliance. Is the world coming to love house music? Perhaps it is.

For Cox, this moment felt both nostalgic and forward-looking, a celebration of club culture’s past, present, and future, distilled into one night of unrelenting rhythm, blasting fog horns, and animated cheers. As Ibiza evolves, one thing remains eternal: where Carl Cox goes, the party follows.

In the wild, I’m most often spotted at immersive art spaces, step tappin’ in a shadowed corner of the club, hater blockerz on, totally incognito as your resident EDM spice girl. Although I generally tout my spicy side, if there’s one thing I’d love to impress upon the world, it would be this: it’s not a waste to give love to those who do not deserve it – it’s a gift. The world would be a better place if we gave, in kindness and in mercy, to those who need it most with no expectation in return.
