Carl Craig is a Detroit-based producer of techno music, and is considered to be one of the most important names in the Detroit second generation of techno producers and DJs. According to an article about Craig, "Of this group, Craig was often recognised as being the most artful and the most willing to engage the rapidly growing shape of techno outside Detroit." Carl Craig has approached techno using inspiration from a wide range of musical genres, including jazz and soul.

Carl Craig has released many successful albums under a large number of aliases, such as BFC, Psyche, Paperclip People, 69, Designer Music and Innerzone Orchestra. He also had a hugely successful collaboration album with NYDJ Patrick Picasso. Using one alias, Innerzone Orchestra, he released perhaps his best-known track "Bug in The Bassbin" in 1992, a track that many regard as being a key influence in the then evolving sound of drum and bass.

Carl Craig has also created his own record label called Planet E Communications, which apart from his own work, has released records by well known techno and house artists like Kevin Saunderson, Alton Miller and Moodymann.

Kerri 'Kaoz' Chandler, one of deep House Music's originators, is known for his deep house electronic music. Kerri's influences can be traced back to New Jersey growing up in a family of jazz musicians. His father was a DJ and provided Kerri with a rich background in the origins of soul, disco and the New York Underground Sound. Accompanying his father to the gigs, Kerri began playing records at the Rally Racquet Club in East Orange, New Jersey at the age of thirteen. Exposed to such musical creativity, it wasn't long before Kerri found himself interested in production. Since the release of his first single "SuperLover/Get It Off" on Atlantic Records in 1991, Kerri has made many releases.

According to some unknown source, Kerri prays before making a record. His music contains breakbeats and many syncopations. Kerri contributes to the genre of soulful house and did not experience much commercial success. He is the founder of the house-music label Madhouse Records (not to be confused with Dave Kelly's reggae label of the same name).
