Carl Craig Sessions

Sessions is a long overdue set that brings together a personal selection of Carl's incredible 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 like Bug in the Bassbin. Sessions is a culmination of Craig's status as a techno icon, and it is both a look backwards at his role as one of the genre's pioneers and a look forward as one of its stylish visionaries. Sessions fuses new tracks exclusive to this release, alternate mixes of classic Craig tracks from the past two decades (authored under his many aliases: Paperclip People, 69, Innerzone Orchestra, Tres Demented), and several recent remixes of other artists' songs that have quickly become new dance-floor classics. even the most devoted fans will find surprises on this release, while new ones will be taken in with Craig's mastery of beats, rhythms and soulful provocations. His new music is moored in his Detroit roots and echoes of his youthful exploration, forming a continuous cycle of energy with his past work. Sessions is a manifestation of that idea, and that is heard as new tracks seamlessly mix with old, generations of rhythms in constant conversation.
