Craig was a key member of the 'second wave' of Detroit techno in the early 1990's, along with the likes of Richie Hawtin and Jeff Mills. He set up the seminal Planet E Communications in 1991 to release music from artists like Moodymann, Kenny Larkin, 69, Recloose and his own projects Paperclip People and Innerzone Orchestra.
