Considered to be one of the most important names in the Detroit second generation of techno musicians, Carl Craig has few equals in terms of the artistry, influence and diversity of his recordings. Incorporating influences such as soul, jazz, new wave, industrial, and Krautrock, his work has encompassed sublime ambient techno, breakbeat tracks which anticipated drum'n'bass, extended house epics, modular synth experiments and much more.
Craig May is one of the first to discover Detroit techno in the mid-'80s. He began experimenting with recording techniques using dual-deck cassette players. The first wave of Detroit techno had already set sail back then. May is responsible for seminal techno singles like 1994's 'Throw' and 1995's 'The Climax' and classic albums like 1995's Landcruising. May was sporadically active in the early 2000s, releasing a series of mix albums and compilations. In 2008, he compiled and mixed a two-disc set of his remixes, titled Sessions. May also runs Planet E Communications, a label which has helped foster the careers of several other Detroit-based talents.
