Monumental symphonic versions of Carl Craigs classic material, re-enforced and magnified by Les Siecles Orchestra. Iconic French conductor François-Xavier Roth is at the helm of the symphony whilst InFiné mainstay Francesco Tristano supports on piano. From an initial recording in 2010, the project evolved into a full album that has been tweaked further in the studio by Craig himself. The re-works reveal the timelessness of `At Les´ and `Darkness´ through tense yet fragile new arrangements, along with two original compositions by Tristano Barcelona Trist and The Melody. Versus first took form as a captivating live concert on May 18th, 2008 at Paris Cité de la Musique, featuring this very same line-up. The hedonism of club culture made a rare incursion into the hallowed grounds of more serious traditional music, merging the vocabularies and syntaxes of two genres that seem to be from their own faraway galaxies, but actually turned out to be more porous than expected as they collided into one another. This much awaited new studio album will be available worldwide on May 5th 2017 as a 2LP gatefold vinyl and CD.

Fabric is proud to present Fabric 25, a rare DJ mix from one of electronic music’s true pioneers and Detroit’s cult figure, Carl Craig.

A member of the international techno-circuit since the late ‘80s – Craig is known for his fantastic releases and mixes. In 1989 he produced the classic "Strings of Life" with Derrick May and since has founded his own label Planet E. He’s put out timeless pearls of techno under the pseudonym of 69, Innerzone Orchestra and others. Apart from his own productions he’s made himself a name as a brilliant remixer and refined productions of Kenny Larkin, Ron Trent, Dave Angel as well as songs by Yello, Tori Amos and Ultramarine.

Fabric 25 is a white-knuckle ride of 4/4 rhythms, featuring Craig’s own production overdubs and backing vocals. Tracklisting includes soulful house gems from Blaze and Kerri Chandler, Ying Yang Twins’ brilliant party beats, and, as a treat, two of Craig’s own stunning productions.
