Carl Craig is a legendary producer and composer who has a reputation as a pioneer of the Detroit sound. Kenny Dixon, a disco terrorist, is the most celebrated of the new school of Detroit producers and one of the biggest new names in underground house. Urban Tribe's previous releases under this moniker have been 'Eastwood', a four-track single released in 1996 on Mo'Wax, and the highly sought after 'Covert Action' on Headz II, as well as a couple of single's on Carl Craig's Planet E label."
