Carl Craig [Detroit techno] Musician Snapshots: The Music You Should Hear Series

Here's a "musician snapshot" look at producer/musician/DJ/labelhead Carl Craig and his important recordings. One of the most successful of Detroit's second wave of producers, Carl Craig's career spans '60s psychedelia; futuristic funk of the '70s; and every style of electronic dance music imaginable - Techno, electro, acid, hip-hop, breakbeats, drum 'n bass, and academic synthesis. His music is an antidote to the idea that electronic musicians are all addicted to the next shiny thing, with no sense of history or appreciation of the past. Craig's music smashes all manner of imaginary racial, gender and cultural barriers, along the way, as we are all one, under Techno.
