The year is 1989. Techno's second generation has begun to permeate the globe leading a young Carl Craig to a tiny village in the countryside of Belgium. It is here, undistracted and determined to break out, that Craig encounters one of the country's only drum machines, an Alesis controlled midi-808. In a single session he composes and mixes a handful of records that are still to this day regarded as some of his most raw and explosive contributions to the fabric of electronic music history. Carl revisits this fateful chapter through the lens of a famed cut from his Psyche alias From Beyond, with a "C2 2023 Mix" and remixes from Seth Troxler, Ataxia and Admn, out July 14 on Planet E Communications. The Psyche alias, known for early Transmat releases like Crack\down and Elements, embodied a stripped back, less sample-based yin attitude to the yang of Carl's more aggressive 69 and sampleforward BFC and Paperclip People identities. From Beyond, first released in 1990 via the Crackdown 12" on Transmat, offers an eerie glimpse into the simplistic production that came through Carl's mastery of the 808 and the sonic value of restricting himself to this movement defining tool. This new From Beyond package sees Carl lift and bend the original in his "C2 2023 Mix" alongside a package of remixes from artists near to the hearts of Detroit and the Planet E fold. Seth Troxler brings a subdued acid tinge to the package, while label regular Ataxia pays homage to the source material with a renewed percussive energy, followed by a soulful rework by Admn.
