Frædag Invites Carl Craig is on Fri, Sep 22, 2017 at Jaeger, Oslo. Lineup: Carl Craig.
From the promoterThe luminary DJ and producer Carl Craig returns to our basement for Frædag where residents G-Ha & Olanskii and R.L.O.C invite the Detroit legend back for some of that magic he had delivered on our floor a year ago. Our basement is still sparking with energy of Carl Craig’s set where Techno’s roots intertwined with synth wave, EBM, House and Electro to bring a diverse set to the floor. Frædag’s open window to the world looks to the past present and future of club music with this booking and G-Ha & Olanskii pay dividends to the origins of the music Jæger holds so dear to its cause.
Carl Craig is described as a creative visionary, a groundbreaking electronic music icon, an inspirational artist, an esteemed Grammy-nominated composer, a world-class DJ and an ambassador for his native Detroit. Yet the common thread that runs through Craig's broad musical canon and creative projects is a resounding fascination with futurism. Carl Craig has cultivated a unique path as an artist, entrepreneur and civic leader, guided by his tendency toward forward thinking.
A Gemini true to form, with a mind that never sits still, Craig has released a diverse range of experimental and groundbreaking music under a plethora of aliases including 69, BFC, C2, Innerzone Orchestra ('Bug in the Bassbin' was credited as the spark that inspired the evolution of drum'n'bass), No Boundaries, Psyche, Paperclip People, Tres Demented, Urban Tribe and many more. He has also produced albums for the legendary Detroit Jazz collective Tribe as well as orchestrator / pianist Francesco Tristano and French producer Agoria.
When Craig explains his philosophy, his wry sense of humor seeps into his explanations of far-reaching concepts that merge worlds together. "I have a very special career. When I feel that I'm tired of going on the road I can go in the studio. When I'm tired of concentrating on the studio I can go on the road. I can work with concert pianists, jazz musicians or rock guys. Very few people have that range of interests. Very few people juggle a career that they choose specifically." No one else can pull it all together quite like Carl Craig.
