Another great back to back: CARL CRAIG vs RADIOSLAVE
CARL CRAIG
Carl Craig is a Detroit-based producer of techno music, and is considered to be one of the most important names in the Detroit second generation of techno producers and DJs. “Craig is the most artful and the most willing to engage the rapidly growing shape of techno outside Detroit."
Part of what makes Craig's style so unique and separates him from much of the normal "Detroit Techno" sound, including current works, are his remixes of world beat and jazz songs. This has helped spark a new movement of electronic music.
Carl Craig has released many successful albums under a large number of aliases, such as BFC, Psyche, Paperclip People, 69, Designer Music and Innerzone Orchestra. Using one alias, Innerzone Orchestra, he released perhaps his best-known track "Bug in The Bassbin" in 1992, a track that many regard as being a key influence in the then evolving sound of drum and bass.
Carl Craig has also created his own record label called "Planet E", which apart from his own work, has released records by well known techno and house artists like Kevin Saunderson, Alton Miller and Moodymann.
Regarding the many positions he has held in the music industry (artist, producer, DJ, label boss, and more), Craig has said: "I have a bad habit of getting my hands dirty in every little thing, and I really do enjoy it”
RADIOSLAVE
Matt Edwards is also known as Radio Slave, perhaps Matt’s most instantly recognisable “nom de guerre”, thanks in part to his inspirational melding of Kylie’s Can’t Get You Out Of My Head to New Order’s Blue Monday, this is Matt’s DJ moniker and the guise under which he completes his
As Radio Slave, Matt Edwards – firstly with Serge Santiago and, for the last couple of years, on his own – he transforms tracks into something else: fresh and exciting pieces of music that urge of you only one thing, the compulsion to dance.
His background as an early acid house convert and graphic designer meant that his aesthetical ethos was geared towards manipulating sound: playing with it, toying with it. As a DJ his music tastes range from electro to techno by way of house and broken beat. But it’s his love of disco re-edits, the likes of which mastered by such ‘70s stalwarts as Walter Gibbons and championed by Harvey, that gives him his edge.
