Renowned producer, remixer, DJ and record label owner Carl Craig is one of the few artists who can truly claim to have shaped the sound of modern electronic music. Making music since he was 17, he’s created everything from ambient soundscapes to jazz during the past 20 years, but it's his work in dance music that is at his core. On March 3 he releases Sessions, a double mix CD that brings together a personal selection from his back catalogue, from his early work under the aliases Paperclip People and 69 to worldwide hits like Throw (recently covered live by LCD Soundsystem) and ground-breaking tracks such as Bug in the Bassbin. The two discs also showcase why Carl is still such a powerful force in music today, with a diverse range of remixes for the likes of X-Press 2, Theo Parrish and many others. He was nominated for a Grammy for his rework for Junior Boys’ Like A Child. The selection also includes previously unreleased tracks, alternative versions of his own productions, as well as some exclusive unreleased remixes.
Sessions is out on March 3 on !K7. Visit www.myspace.com/carlcraig, www.planet-e.net and www.demon-days.com
