In a landmark collaboration, Carl Cox and Perry Farrell have joined forces for the first time to release ‘Joya’, a track that bridges genres and generations. Out on October 10, the single unites two icons from completely different musical worlds, blending Cox’s pioneering techno legacy with Farrell’s legendary rock and alternative background.
From the start, both artists approached the project with a clear vision of hope and unity. As Cox explains, “When the opportunity came to work with Perry, I jumped at it and sent him the idea for ‘Joya.’ It just came together so beautifully, and I have been proud to play it as the closer for all of my sets in the last year. People respond to it with such joy, and that is what I was aiming for all along!” Farrell echoes the sentiment, adding, “It means the world to me that we’re making people so happy with our music… Joyaaaaaah!”
Musically, ‘Joya’ combines uplifting melodies, emotive lyrics, and a groove designed to resonate across clubs, festivals, and intimate spaces alike. More than a collaboration, it represents a message of togetherness, celebrating humanity, community, and the joy of dance. With Cox’s stature as one of techno’s most respected figures and Farrell’s enduring influence as founder of Jane’s Addiction and Lollapalooza, the partnership feels both unexpected and inevitable.
