DJ CORTEX
Cortex is a young French artist only 26 years old.
He musical style is what you would call organic.
His Label "Sound in Motion" is popular through out most of Europe and since 2011 he has been organizing the famous "Sound in Motion" evenings, which are very well known in the South French area where he began his Carrier!
John Cortex became very early facinated with music – since his own father was also a DJ.
Cortex spend a lot of time in his younger years observing this skill and after some time he began to DJ himself.
Beat by Beat this developed into a musical agenda on every evening in Southern France where he grew up.
His music is powerful, dynamic and sophisticated. It draws strength from a variety of genres and eras.
He doesnt mind if he is playing in front of a 1000 people or 300, it is the energy that emanate from each evening that is important.

What do you feel that you can bring to the Phangan scene?
I think I have a very different style from other DJs on the island.
I'm more focused about Techno, Minimal and Tech House from Germany, Italy or Spain. (Europe)
It has now been 10 years since I began as a dj and I have gained good experience in the matter and I want to come and share my music on the stages of Koh Phangan :)
Do you have other plans to play on Phangan now or in the future?
Yes, I think I will continue to play "Waterfall Sramanora party" !
I hope to introduce my music to the people of the island and then I will see later if a new plan will emerge to me :)
Cortex will also be playing at the Full Moon After Party in the Wicked Oldschool Venue Back Yard on NOV 18.
What is the best thing you ever been involved with or done?
I created my event agency in 2011 "Sound In Motion".
I organized many parties in the south of France and brought many artists from all over Europe, such as Marco Bailey, Microtrauma, oxia, Worakls, Ron Costa and many others !!
Do you find Koh Phangan to be a good place for your music?
Yes, I think so!
Koh Phangan is a great place for my music! I look forward to share my music to a large number of Phangan people!
Where is your favourite place here?
I have no particular preference, as long as there is a good sound system, good DJs and a good atmosphere.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
We never know what life holds for us ;)
What is your life philosophy?
To enjoy music and share it with everyone!
