PW 16-Year Anniversary Night One: Detroit Love with Carl Craig & Moodymann

Public Works proudly celebrates 16 years of bringing forward-thinking electronic music and unforgettable nights to San Francisco with PW 16-Year Anniversary Night One: Detroit Love, a special evening dedicated to the deep, soulful, and influential sounds of Detroit.

Taking place at Public Works in San Francisco on Friday, October 16, the night brings together two legendary figures whose music has helped define Detroit’s enduring impact on house and techno: Carl Craig and Moodymann. Known for its futuristic imagination, emotional depth, and unmistakable groove, Detroit’s electronic music tradition has influenced generations of artists and dance floors around the world—and this celebration puts that legacy front and center.

At the heart of the night is Carl Craig, one of Detroit techno’s most innovative and respected artists. Across decades of production, DJing, and label work, Craig has consistently pushed the boundaries of electronic music, blending hypnotic rhythms, atmospheric textures, jazz influences, and sophisticated arrangements. His sets can move effortlessly between cerebral techno and deeply physical dance-floor energy.

Joining him is Moodymann, the enigmatic Detroit house visionary celebrated for his raw, soulful, and deeply personal approach to dance music. His sound draws from house, funk, jazz, disco, soul, and the rich musical history of Detroit, creating an experience that feels both timeless and unmistakably his own.

Together, Carl Craig and Moodymann represent two distinctive sides of Detroit’s musical identity, making this anniversary night a celebration not only of Public Works but of the culture, creativity, and community that continue to shape electronic music.
