That is where a young Petrae Foy met Carl Cox for the first time, playing a 4hr warm up for him, six months later Petrae read that he was named Carl’s DJ of the year 2004 at the age of only 23. If that wasn’t enough to boast about, he has already got 3 Global Gatherings under his belt, Homelands on the Radio 1 Sound Stage playing alongside Paul Oakenfold, Timo Mass, Fergie and Seb Fontaine.
Petrae has done 3 mixes for the infamous Fergie Show on Radio 1, headlined the Arches in Glasgow for 3000 people on NYE 2004/2005, and that’s just in this country.

Not content with achieving all the above on just the strength of his magical DJ talent, Petrae has seen a new dawn and in 2006 took a year out working hard in the studio on his own productions. Spending most days working on new ideas for tracks and doing remixes. All this hard work paid off as 2006 has seen a new day for Petrae Foy as a producer, with his very first track ‘What Is It’ co written with Pete Stanley signed to major label Sino/Technasia.
This track triggered a phenomenon with an old colleague Petrae had already won over two years previous, Mr Carl Cox! Who had no hesitation in asking Petrae to appear on his global radio show. In Jan 2006 Petrae went live to over 15 million people in 20 different countries, and his sound went (global). As a result Carl also asked him back as his special guest, to perform a mix on his Christmas show!
Carl Cox’s support hasn’t stopped there, this year Petrae has just finished an itunes podcast for Carl and was the 3rd person in the world to have done one for him. Petrae has been asked at Carl’s request to represent the big man’s Global brand in Holland this year, to play in front of thousands, at the Carl Cox & Friends arena for the World Famous Dance Valley!
Petrae was also asked by one of the UK’s leading labels Toolroom to produce an alternative remix of ‘Sucker DJs - Salvation’, which stormed the charts. This saw a successful close to 2007, alongside being named breakthrough DJ for 2008 by none other than Carl Cox in DJ Magazine.

With chart entries from top DJs 6 months before its release, as well as an exclusive promo on BBC Radio 1, ‘Kick Back To The Future’ is set to take this summer by storm on top US label ‘Teggno Records’.
