Carl Craig on The Cologne Affair November 22nd

Dreams do come true. This month, we are incredibly excited to welcome legendary producer and Detroit techno innovator Carl Craig to our show The Cologne Affair. The iconic artist—who has shaped the genre like no other—has been a defining force in the scene for more than 35 years.

Recently, he visited the city of Cologne to deliver a memorable DJ set at Week-End Fest and to attend the German premiere of his new documentary Desire: The Carl Craig Story. Before the screening, we hosted an artist talk in which he spoke about his influences, his upbringing in Detroit, and, of course, his music.

Host Jan Lankisch is especially thrilled about this episode, as Carl Craig has been a major influence on his life for 30 years..
