CARL CRAIG "BUG IN THE BASS BIN" REMIX CONTEST

41-year old native Detroit producer Carl Craig has been described as a creative visionary, an electronic music icon, an esteemed Grammy-nominated composer and a world-class DJ. After he released his first track in 1989 on a Virgin UK compilation album, with two singles following on labels run by his first collaborator Derrick May - the ghost was out of the bottle. The rest is history. No one else can pull it all together quite like Carl Craig did.

If ever there was a song that needed no introduction, it’d be ”Bug in the Bass Bin,” recorded by Craig under his Innerzone Orchestra alias. Originally released on Craig’s Planet E label in 1992, it was an absolute game-changer, resonating far beyond the bounds of Detroit techno once pioneering junglists like Goldie got their hands on it, playing it at 45 and incorporating its shuddering syncopations into the foundations of drum ‘n’ bass.

The record has been remixed and reissued many times in the past 19 years - now Beatport and Planet E are offering you the opportunity to become a part of its history, with the “Bug in the Bass Bin” Remix Contest.

The winner will have his or her remix released on Planet E, and will also take home a prize package including Native Instruments Maschine Mikro, iZotope Stutter Edit, the Sounds To Sample Elements Library, and $200 in Beatport credit.

Last day to submit is December 5th.
