From Beyond
More Info
The year is 1989. Technoâs second generation has begun to permeate the globe leading a young Carl Craig to a tiny village in the countryside of Belgium. It is here, undistracted and determined to break out, that Craig encounters one of the countryâs only drum machines, an Alesis controlled midi-808. In a single session he composes and mixes a handful of records that are still to this day regarded as some of his most raw and explosive contributions to the fabric of electronic music history.
Carl revisits this fateful chapter through the lens of a famed cut from his Psyche alias âFrom Beyondâ, with a âC2 2023 Mixâ and remixes from Seth Troxler, Ataxia and Admn, out July 14 on Planet E Communications. The Psyche alias, known for early Transmat releases like âCrack\downâ and âElementsâ, embodied a stripped back, less sample based yin attitude to the yang of Carlâs more aggressive 69 and sample-forward BFC and Paperclip People identities. âFrom Beyondâ, first released in 1990 via the âCrackdownâ 12â on Transmat, offers an eerie glimpse into the simplistic production that came through Carlâs mastery of the 808 and the sonic value of restricting himself to this movement defining tool.
This new âFrom Beyondâ package sees Carl lift and bend the original in his âC2 2023 Mixâ alongside a package of remixes from artists near to the hearts of Detroit and the Planet E fold. Seth Troxler brings a subdued acid tinge to the package, while label regular Ataxia pays homage to the source material with a renewed percussive energy, followed by a soulful rework by Admn.
Whether it be through the 30 year repertoire of his seminal Planet E, his Party / After-Party sound and light installation now on display at Los Angelesâ MOCA, or his continuous work as a champion of Black-led creativity, the Carl Craig mission remains the same: to always rep Detroit and be the realest mutha f***a alive.
