Planet (E)volution
Q&A with Carl Craig at the Red Bull Music Academy 2002 in São Paulo, Brazil.
In years to come, techno will be pored over and historicised and whatever the fate of the brave new world’s music, a handful of names will have been immortalised through it. Carl Craig’s is one.

Carl Craig — Detroit via Soweto
As part of the 20 years of Planet E celebrations, the legen — wait for the drop… — dary Detroit techno/house producer will be playing in Soweto, JHB on June 26, 2011. The supporting DJs are Culoe De Song, Vinny Da Vinci and Kid Fonque. A proper house party, and it’s free!

Visage - Frequency 7 - Tar (Radar/WEA, 1979)
Spiralling into the future, the vocal version of “Frequency 7” on Visage’s debut single. This version has never been re-released and is a rarity [1]. The more commonly-circulated “Dance Mix” doesn’t have the excellent vocoder action. Detroit techno legend Carl Craig later channelled some “Frequency 7” in “Frequency Finale” [preview] (4 Jazz Funk Classics, Planet E, 1991).
The future is still out of control.
