Legend has it that Matthew Chicoine (a.k.a. Recloose) was working at a sandwich shop in Detroit when techno pioneer Carl Craig walked in for a meal and out with a demo tape Recloose had given to him, which led to the immediate signing to Planet E and the beginning of a promising musical career for one very talented individual. Recloose's musical roots trace back to eight years of studying music and playing jazz saxophone, later shifting his focus to the art of mixing, cutting and dicing vinyl whilst at college in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Having spent time performing as a turntablist for both Carl Craig's Innerzone Orchestra, and the more esoteric Uri Caine ensemble, Recloose's musical activities have always been remarkably diverse. Since the fateful meeting with Carl Craig, Recloose has developed into a true standout of Detroit's musical litter. The past 7 years have seen a number of groundbreaking 12"s released, a mix CD for Belgian label Eskimo, and a host of remixes for the likes of Herbert, Towa Tei, MJ Cole and Clara Hill. Recloose, consistently gathering musical momentum, released his debut album 'Cardiology'' on Planet E / !K7 in 2002, to large critical acclaim. After a performance at Wellington, New Zealand's international jazz festival in 2000 Recloose he moved to the Kapiti Coast. Summer 2005 saw the release of Recloose's second album on Peacefrog 'Hiatus On The Horizon', an album that encompasses live instrumentation and soul-fuelled vocals. It stands as an unlikely musical fusion of the sounds of the South Pacific and the not so distant memories of the Motor City, and captured the imaginations of many a listener with floor stompers like 'Dust', featuring Fat Freddy's Drop vocalist Joe Dukie.

The Maxi-Single Can't Take It (Remixes)
was reviewed:
Luciano and Milton Jackson remix Recloose's signature tune: Luciano's take is all weightless, Kevin Saunderson style chords over a sparse and shuffling groove, while Jackson contributes a meatier version of filtered licks and sappy house beats. With the classic original included, you can't go wrong with this one.|

The Compilation 20 Fucking Years of Planet E: We Ain't Dead Yet
was reviewed:
There's no doubting Planet E's role as one of the most consistently influential techno labels over two decades and well over one hundred releases, most of them regarded as electronic music classics.When it comes to assembling an anniversary compilation for such a label the question becomes as much about what you leave out as it is about what you actually select.
Given Carl Craig's impeccable track record as Planet E's A&R over all this time, he is certainly one to master such a daunting task.
An indeed '20 F@%&ing Years of Planet E' doesn't disappoint, offering a cross-section of recent hits, all time classics, as well as a number of less obvious choices, which are never short of excellent. Moodymann's brilliant 1997 classic 'Dem Young Sconies' starts out the selection, followed in short succession by epic Planet E style floor fillers like Lazy Fat People's 'Club Silencio' and Martin Buttrich's 'Full Clip'.
Basic Channel surface in their Quadrant guise with 1993's 'Hyperprism', while Urban Tribe's 'Covert Action' and Innerzone Orchestra's 'Bug In The Bassbin' represent Carl Craig's love for cut-up jazz drum breaks. More classics include Kirk Degiorgio's 'Clinically Inclined', Craig's own 'Dominas', and The Black Dog's 'Nort Route'.
So what's missing then? Planet E's most soulful phase feels a bit under-represented - 'People Make The World Go Round' might have made a nice addition. Also skipped are some of C2's biggest hits: 'Throw' and 'At Les' for instance, but this feels quite intentional, leaving more room to discover less often heard gems on this essential compilation.
