Detroit techno legend Carl Craig’s rarely been out of the spotlight in his 23-year career, continually leading the way at the vanguard of electronic music as a producer, remixer, DJ and label head. Performing that rare trick of pleasing the purists and slaying the masses with equal aplomb, he’s the kind of manifestly talented musician who’s as adept at tearing festivals apart with slamming DJ sets as he is experimenting with Moritz Von Oswald on an electronic interpretation of Ravel’s Bolero.
Of all his guises, though, perhaps the best loved is his 69 project. A series of records throughout the early 90s that redefined the boundaries of the genre with a cut-up, sample-heavy aesthetic shot through with spacey funk and machine soul, 69 is now finally presented in a live format by the man himself. A rare chance to hear a master of his craft reliving one of his most exciting creative periods.
