and what not

This month’s show is brought to you by the Canada-born, Berlin-based producer, DJ, and label founder @darwinspec. Darwin cut her teeth in Berlin’s nightclubs in 2010, first a regular on Panorama Bar’s dance floor, before stepping behind the decks at the now-defunct club Griessmühle, where she hosted her first residency in 2014. 
 
In 2015, Darwin launched her label @specrecords, dedicated to platforming UK bass and hybrid club sounds by new, up-and-coming artists. To celebrate 10 years of SPE:C, Darwin has put together a mix, highlighting some of the label’s most formative releases - past, present, and unreleased.

Carhartt WIP Radio October 2025: SPE:C

This month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show welcomes none other than producer and DJ @carlcraignet, a leading figure in Detroit’s electronic music scene, who rose to prominence in the late 1980s as part of the second generation of techno pioneers.

While shaping the city’s musical legacy, Craig also evolved his own sound, with an eclectic approach to making music that has seen him explore breakbeat, jazz, disco, and classical, under several aliases including 69, Paperclip People, Innerzone Orchestra and C2. In 1991, he founded the label Planet E, through which he released his own music as well as that of artists such as Kevin Saunderson, Moodymann, and Kenny Larkin.

For this episode, we are diving into Planet E’s catalogue to celebrate over 30 years of the label and its founder’s enduring influence, with a mix created by Carl Craig himself. The mix comes with an interview where Craig discusses discovering electronic gear via 80s toys, how his fascination with cars converged with a love of music, and why AI-assisted tools aren't as novel as they may seem.  Read the interview at www.carhartt-wip.com.

tracklist:

1. Carl Craig - Meditation One
2. Slam - Azure (Carl Craig Remix)
3. Carl Craig - Meditation Three
4. 69 - Desire
5. Carl Craig - Meditation Two
6. Carl Craig - Sandstorms (Versus Beatless Version)
7. Designer Music - The Truth

Carhartt WIP Radio November 2025: Carl Craig - Planet E

For the final show of the year, producer and @dj-pinch (AKA Rob Ellis) closes things out with a mix celebrating 20 years of his label @tectonic-recordings – an imprint which has been at the forefront of pioneering dubstep since 2005.

Established in Bristol, where Pinch has called home since the late 90s, Tectonic emerged from a city renowned for its creative communities and music scene, rooted in a history of reggae, trip-hop, and jungle.

The label’s first release was Pinch’s own 12", titled “Alien Tongue / War Dub” featuring P Dutty. From there, he went on to release his solo debut Underwater Dancehall and later, Reality Tunnels on Tectonic, alongside a slew of records from the likes of Peverlist, Loefah, Skream, Photek, Shed, and Mumdance & Logos. Beyond Tectonic, Pinch has collaborated with musician Shackleton on a ground-breaking album in 2011, as well as two projects with legendary dub producer Adrian Sherwood.

Over time, Tectonic’s sound has evolved from its dubstep roots towards the fringes, from breakcore and bass to experimental techno. The mix that Pinch has created for this month’s  Carhartt WIP Radio show traces Tectonic’s back catalogs, sharing past tracks alongside the present, with a few special mash-ups along the way.

The mix comes with an interview where Pinch eflects on the creative benefits of collaboration, the renewed interest in the meditative side of dubstep, and the lessons behind running an underground label for two decades. Read the interview at www.carhartt-wip.com.

<b>Trackliste</b>


Aphroe zu 2x45
"Diese Doppel 7“ ist ein Nachfolger zum Projekt „90“, das MPM und ich im Jahr 2012 herausgebracht haben. Es beinhaltet Re:produktionen einiger der memorabelsten US-Rap-Klassiker der Neunzigerjahre. Re:Produziert wurde sie von hiesigen Produzenten, welche die Kultur und die Kunst des Beatschmiedens seit etlichen Jahren studiert und gelebt haben. Was aus einer euphorischen Bierlaune heraus begann - nämlich einfach mal "Time’s Up“ von OC reimpatterntechnisch ins Deutsche übertragen und beatmäßig aus den original Samplequellen und dem über die Jahre gewonnenen Know-How der Produktionsweisen unserer Vorbilder, möglichst nah ans Original heranzukommen - entwickelte sich mehr und mehr zu einem ernstzunehmendem Projekt auf Albumlänge. Es ging darum innerlich Reset zu drücken und persönlich, theoretisch wieder bei Null anzufangen. Auf eine respektvolle Art wollte ich so Erinnerungen und die damit verbundenen Gefühle einer vergangenen Ära wieder aufleben lassen.
Für mich als MC ging es darum, mit dem Flow und der Intonation, sprich der Delivery der Originalstücke mitzuhalten, ohne sich von der gefühlten Grundstimmung zu weit zu entfernen. Dabei textlich aber eine komplett eigene Geschichte, unter den Vorraussetzungen bereits existierender Reimstrukturen zu schaffen. Also nicht bloß sinngemäß oder inhaltlich platt zu übersetzen, sondern vielmehr dieses Konstrukt mit Hilfe meiner Sprachfertigkeiten unabhängig ins Deutsche zu transformieren und damit Bezug auf meine eigene Historie und Zugehörigkeit zu einer internationalen Bewegung zu nehmen.
Was zählt, ist der Eindruck, dass sowohl „alt“ wie „jung“ diese Hip Hop-Hommage gleichermaßen genießen können.“ APHROE

Ewigwährender Respekt an: Ali Shaheed, Buckshot, DJ Evil Dee, D.I.T.C. (AG, Big L (r.i.p), Diamond D, Lord Finesse, OC), DJ Premier, Donald Byrd (r.i.p), Kool Keith of Ultramagnetic, Nas, Phife, Q-Tip, ....
