Carl Craig @ the Lotus on feb 26 th
If you missed carl @ the Decibel festival in august he is play vancouver to promote 20 years of vision.
Carl Craig is described as a creative visionary, an electronic music icon, an esteemed Grammy-nominated composer, a world-class DJ and an ambassador for his native Detroit. Yet the common thread that runs through Craig’s broad musical canon and creative projects is a resounding fascination with futurism. The 41-year old producer has cultivated a unique path as an artist, entrepreneur and civic leader, guided by his tendency toward forward thinking.
“My livelihood is making music that I can perform, whether I’m doing orchestral production or modular strangeness or generating club music. I don’t restrict myself,” said Craig. “I defined myself by being who I am. The ultimate self respect is when you say you’re going to do something and you go and do it to the best of your ability.”

Nice Collective Mobile Supply Unit
Pop-up shops are everywhere these days, here one minute and gone the next. Local label Nice Collective is taking it to the next conceptual level and altering vacant storefronts around town into Mobile Supply Units, all set up to be moved within a day. Their first MSU in this great experiment is just off Church & Market Streets.
"It's a crossroads of a lot of different neighborhoods," says Riley Johndonnell, Nice Collective's branding whiz and former publisher and creative director of Surface Magazine. "This was great because no one's really forged themselves in fashion down here. There's skate punks, designers, a mix of all the characters we love."
