Early life
Carl Craig was born in Detroit, Michigan, on May 22, 1969.[3] His mother was a teacher's assistant and his father was a post office worker.[4] He attended Cooley High School, where he developed an interest in music.[3] He learned to play guitar and later became interested in club music through his cousin Doug Craig, who worked lighting for Detroit area parties.[3] After hearing Derrick May's radio show on WJLB, Craig began experimenting with recording on a dual-deck cassette player.[3] Craig met someone who knew May and passed along a tape of some of his home studio productions.[3]
Career
Since 1989, Craig has released many recordings under a large number of aliases, including Psyche, BFC, 69, Paperclip People, and Innerzone Orchestra.[3] Many of these early Psyche and BFC releases were collected on the 1996 compilation Elements 1989–1990.[8] Craig founded his own record label called Planet E Communications in 1991.[4] Since then, it has released records by other artists such as Kevin Saunderson, Moodymann, and Kenny Larkin.[9]
His first studio album, Landcruising, was released on Blanco y Negro Records in 1995.[3] In 1996, he released The Secret Tapes of Doctor Eich under the Paperclip People moniker.[10] In 1997, he released More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art.[10] It was placed at number 29 on PitchforkШаблон:'s "50 Best IDM Albums of All Time" list.[11] In 1999, he released Programmed under the Innerzone Orchestra moniker.[10]
Craig served as co-creator and artistic director for the Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2000 and 2001.[12] His subsequent dismissal by festival organizers caused substantial controversy within the Detroit techno community, igniting a high-profile campaign in his favor.[13] In 2001, he filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against festival producer Pop Culture Media.[14]
He released a reworked version of Landcruising, titled The Album Formerly Known As..., in 2005.[15] In 2008, he released a collaborative album with Moritz Von Oswald, titled Recomposed, on Deutsche Grammophon.[15] He returned as artistic director for the 2010 Detroit Electronic Music Festival.[16] In 2015, he released a collaborative album with Green Velvet, titled Unity, on Relief Records.[17] In 2017, he released Versus on InFiné.[18]
Craig created a sound installation, titled Party/After-Party, which opened at the Dia Beacon art museum in March 2020.[19] The culmination of a five-year-long engagement with Dia Beacon,[20] it was his first foray into the art world.[19]
Style and legacy
Mixmag called Carl Craig "a leading figure in Detroit techno's second generation,"[2] while Exclaim! called him a "central figure" in the genre's second wave.[3] Pitchfork described him as "techno pioneer."[4] He has approached techno using inspiration from a wide range of musical genres, including soul, jazz, new wave, industrial, and krautrock, while his works have spanned ambient techno, breakbeat, house, classical, and modular synthesizer-based stylings.[6] In a 2015 interview, he cited The Electrifying Mojo, Prince, Kraftwerk, Juan Atkins, and Jeff Mills as the major influences on his music.[21]
Craig's 1992 track "Bug in the Bassbin", released under the Innerzone Orchestra moniker, was picked up by DJs such as 4hero, Goldie, and J Majik.[22] In the United Kingdom, DJs started playing the track at 45 rpm instead of the intended 33 rpm.[23] According to Now, the track "ended up providing inspiration and in many ways writing the blueprint for what drum 'n' bass was to become in England."[23]
According to Vinyl Me, Please, Craig "managed to not only push the boundaries of Detroit techno, he also introduced an urgency and melodic richness to the sometimes navel-gazing world of IDM" with releases such as More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art (1997).[24]
