MIGHTY is proud to present Carl Craig w/ Amp Fiddler (LIVE)
Opening set by Cecil (thePeople / Bembe / Relevant Sound).

Dancefloor experimentalist and top Detroit techno producer Carl Craig has few equals in terms of the artistry, influence, and diversity of his recordings. Few others have recorded so much quality music in such a variety of styles than Craig, who jammed distorted beat-box samples into lo-fi electro riggings, crafted epic house tracks like his remix of Tori Amos' "God," and recorded the most sublime Detroit techno since godfathers Juan Atkins and Derrick May were at their peak. After an apprenticeship during the late '80s with Derrick May, Craig began releasing his own recordings in 1989, first on May's Transmat imprint and later on his own label, Planet E Communications.

Part of what makes Craig's style so unique and separates him from much of the normal "Detroit Techno" sound, including current works, are his remixes of world beat and jazz songs. This has helped spark a new movement of electronic music.

Regarding the many positions he has held in the music industry (artist, producer, DJ, label boss, and more), Craig has said: "I have a bad habit of getting my hands dirty in every little thing, and I really do enjoy it.

Joseph "Amp" Fiddler is an American keyboardist, singer, songwriter and record producer from Detroit, Michigan, U.S.. His musical styles include funk, soul, dance and electronica music. He is probably best known for his contributions to the band Enchantment, and as part of George Clinton’s Parliament and Funkadelic groups from 1985 until 1996. His first solo album Waltz of a Ghetto Fly was released in March 2004. His most recent album, Afro Strut, was released in 2006.

Throughout an illustrious career, Fiddler has worked with George Clinton, Moodymann, Stephanie McKay, Jamiroquai, Prince, Was (Not Was), the Brand New Heavies, Fishbone, Corinne Bailey Rae and nu soul artist Maxwell. Working with his brother, Bubz (bass guitarist, producer and songwriter), he released the album Mr Fiddler in 1990 on Elektra. Amp Fiddler is credited with introducing hip-hop producer J Dilla to the Akai MPC sampling drum machine and also to A Tribe Called Quest member Q-Tip.

DJ Cecil is best known as one of the founders of the LEGENDARY thePeople Party, The Relevant Sound Project and resident DJ of BEMBE celebrations.

Background on thePeople Party:
thePeople Party aims to redefine nightlife in the East Bay by cultivating music, art, dance, fashion, cuisine, and community to create a soulful and eclectic experience. You can expect to hear gems from across the musical spectrum - progressive dance-hop to Afrobeat flavored house supplied by residents DJ Cecil, Cali and Be Brown - the only limit imposed on the music is that it must move the body, mind, soul, or all three.
