Carl has just been nominated for a Grammy in the category “best remixer” for his remix of Junior Boy´s Like a Child which is also featured in this mix compilation
- Groove magazine Germany just voted him “remixer of the year”

Renowned producer, remixer, DJ and record label owner Carl Craig is one of the few artists who can truly claim to have shaped the sound of modern electronic music. Making music since the tender age of 17, Craig has created everything from ambient soundscapes to jazz during the past 20 years, but it's his work in dance music that is at his core.

"Sessions" is a long overdue double mix CD that brings together a personal selection of Carl's incredible back catalogue, from his early work under the aliases Paperclip People and 69 to worldwide hits like "Throw" (recently covered live by LCD Soundsystem) and ground-breaking tracks like "Bug in the Bassbin".

Alongside the classics, the two discs also showcase why Craig is still such a powerful force in music today with a diverse range of remixes for the likes of XPress 2, Theo Parrish and many others. For his rework for Junior Boys` “Like A Child” he was just nominated for a Grammy.

The selection also includes previously unreleased tracks, alternative versions of his own productions, as well as some exclusive unreleased remixes.

“Sessions” reminds us of how exciting and unique Carl Craig’s productions and remixes are and why he remains at the top of his game – a retrospective of one of the world´s most influential and groundbreaking figures in electronic music.
