Carl Craig: Planet E and the Expansive Detroit Sound

Carl Craig never stayed in one lane. Through Planet E Communications he built a home for techno that could be jazzy, brutal, soulful, or abstract — sometimes in the same night.

That’s why his records feel so at home on 313 LIVE: the station thrives on range. One hour can travel from warehouse steel to liquid synth romance, and Craig’s catalog maps that whole terrain.

Keep the stream on at 313 LIVE — techno, house, and underground from Detroit, 24/7. Studio 13 plays round the clock, plus Door Policy with Duchess Amari (weekdays 7–9 AM ET) and The Lodge Run with Ellis Lane (weekdays 5–7 PM ET): see the schedule, and dig more stories on the blog.
