-- Carl Craig is a producer, DJ, and label owner from Detroit.

A feature-length documentary, Desire: The Carl Craig Story, is available to stream now.

Listen to the reissue of 'Meditations' LP.

We discuss the history of Detroit music, the development of techno, the influence of other areas of popular culture on dance music, and the breadth of his musical experiences from playing guitar in bands as a teenager to being a current artist-in-residence at Michigan State University.

This is a conversation with a true legend who does not disappoint!
