Planet E Communications is set to release the soundtrack for Desire: The Carl Craig Story, a documentary about the legendary Detroit techno producer Carl Craig. The album, which features a range of Craig’s work from his various musical aliases, will be available digitally starting Friday, June 20.
The documentary, directed by Jean-Cosme Delaloye, chronicles Carl Craig’s journey from his early life in Detroit to his rise as a pioneering force in the global techno scene. It not only delves into his music but also explores his collaborations in art, including his work with fashion brand Bottega Veneta and his Party/After-Party installation, which has been showcased at the Detroit Institute of Arts and MOCA Los Angeles. Premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2023, the documentary has recently made its way to select theaters in the UK, though a domestic release date has yet to be announced.
The soundtrack reflects Carl Craig’s expansive career, offering fans a deep dive into his discography across different projects. Tracks like “At Les” and “Bug in a Bassbin” are standouts, alongside several remixes and lesser-known cuts. Craig’s ability to blend elements of deep house, experimental, and classic Detroit techno is evident throughout, making this album a must-listen for fans and newcomers alike.
