Following 3 sell out warehouse shows, we return to Hoults Yard with a very special guest, a detroit techno pioneer:
CARL CRAIG (3 hour set)
There are DJs who grab bigger headlines and producers who invite more press. In the ebb and flow of what's popular in electronic music there are those who have larger followings or whose names are on more bloggers' fingertips at any given moment in time. But no artist in a genre commands as much respect from fans and peers alike, as consistently and influentially as Detroit-based DJ and producer CARL CRAIG. As an artist, label-owner and club DJ, he is one of the few who has literally helped shape the sound of modern electronic music with an inventive career that has spanned 18 years.
Continually shape-shifting and reinventing himself under an endless number of monikers– including 69, Psyche, BFC, Paperclip People, Innerzone Orchestra, C2, Tres Demented and others – Craig owns a constellation of seminal recordings that have established him as an icon in the techno genre. He came of age as part of its ‘second generation,’ learning from the trio of pioneers credited with techno’s invention: Derrick May, Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson. His new tracks and remixes have become contemporary dancefloor staples and he continues to spin at the finest clubs and festivals around the world. Craig’s role as a producer, DJ and ambassador for the music remains as vital as ever.
