Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Detroit's Carl Craig, one of the key originators of techno, continues to be as prolific, inventive and exciting as he ever was.

A shame then that he isn't more widely heard, but this continuously mixed two-CD set of classics, alternate mixes and recent hits provides a convenient entry point for the uninitiated.

It displays the breadth of his sound, from the proto-drum'*' bass of 1992's "Bugs in the Bassbin" to the stark but rich minimalism of his Delia Gonzales & Gavin Russom remix for DFA records, and last year's jazz-tinged "Falling Up".

Always, though, with a deep groove and an assurance of excellence.
