RBMA interviews Carl Craig

Here is RBMA’s interview with Carl Craig in which he talks about playing in bands and how he met Juan Atkins.

Recomposed Kevorkian & von Oswald Mixes

I didn’t expect another record with remixes of last year’s Recomposed album, but being a big fan of Carl Craig and Moritz von Oswald, I’m glad about the news.

Carl Craig Mixtapes

Not one but five mixtapes from Detroit legend Carl Craig. Some for download others for stream, you’ll find them here.

VERSUS at Cité de la Musique

When I wrote Carl Craig presents Tribe, I remembered another of his performances in Paris together with Les Siècles orchestra and pianist Francesco Tristano.

CEO Carl Craig outlines his vision…

The arrival of the 69 box-set and the Carl Craig presents TRIBE concert got me listening to a lot of classic Planet E material. Here are two videos for you.

Carl Craig presents Tribe at Jazz à la Villette

It’s been a while since I have written about Carl Craig and Tribe, but only today I stumbled across this video from their recent concert in Paris.

69 – The Legendary Adventures of a Filter King

Following last year’s Sessions compilation, Detroit’s Planet E founder Carl Craig prepares to release a limited edition box-set of his 69 releases.

Carl Craig on Stylin

There certainly aren’t many artists out there, who have been involved in making electronic music for two decades. Carl Craig has been in the business for 20 years already, his first records being released back in 1989!…

Recomposed New Mixes

Even before Deutsche Grammophon’s Recomposed by Carl Craig & Moritz von Oswald was out, rumours of Ricardo Villalobos remixes made the round. This week, a 12-inch finally proved this to be true – at least one Villalobos remix accompanied by another by Carl Craig made it on the record. As you can expect, both are taking the material originally written by Mussorgsky and Ravel and transform it into more dancefloor-oriented versions, and both break the 10 minutes limit easily. If you ask me, they should’ve added an Isolée remix as well.

Recomposed by Carl Craig & Moritz von Oswald

The third installment of Deutsche Grammophon’s Recomposed series comes from techno godfathers Carl Craig and Moritz von Oswald (Basic Channel, Rhythm & Sound). Together the joint forces of Detroit and Berlin put their hands on classical material from Maurice Ravel and Modest Mussorgsky.

Carl Craig and Tribe

Detroit producer Carl Craig has re-assembled the remaining members of the Tribe collective to record an album consisting not only of old material, but also new arrangments. Following my review of the Innerzone Orchestra album, I remembered this video about the project.

Innerzone Orchestra – Programmed

As second review in classic reviews I picked Carl Craig’s Innerzone Orchestra album. Craig recorded this album alongside Francisco Mora, percussionist for Sun Ra’s Orchestra, Craig Taborn and saxophist Matt Chicoine, better known as the tape-in-sandwich dropping Recloose.
