Carl Craig is a Detroit-based producer of techno music, and is considered to be one of the most important names in the Detroit second generation of techno producers and DJs. Like many of his peers, Carl Craig has approached techno using inspiration from a wide range of musical genres, including jazz and soul.
Carl Craig has released many successful albums under a large number of aliases, such as BFC, Psyche, Paperclip People, 69, Designer Music and Innerzone Orchestra. Using one alias, Innerzone Orchestra, he released perhaps his best-known track “Bug In The Bassbin” in 1992, a track that many regard as being a key influence in the then evolving sound of drum and bass.
Carl Craig has also created his own record label called “Planet E”, which apart from his own work, has released records by well known techno and house artists like Kevin Saunderson, Alton Miller and Moodymann.
Craig served as artistic director for the widely successful Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2000 and 2001. His subsequent dismissal by festival organizers caused substantial controversy within the Detroit techno community, igniting a high-profile campaign in his favor.[2] In 2001, Craig filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against festival producer Pop Culture Media.[3]
Part of what makes Craig’s style so unique and separates him from much of the normal “Detroit Techno” sound, including current works, are his remixes of world beat and jazz songs. This has helped spark a new movement of electronic music.
