Planet E Communications

Planet E Communications is an independent electronic music recording label that started in 1991 in Detroit, Michigan. The label was founded by DJ/Producer Carl Craig.

Planet E's first release was titled “Four Jazz Funk Classics,” which Craig recorded under the moniker 69. Initial releases on Planet E would mainly be Craig's projects under a multitude of monikers, but would later evolve into being home to a myriad of electronic music's most influential artists such as Kevin Saunderson, Moodymann, Kenny Larkin, and Recloose. In 2001, Planet E celebrated its 10-year anniversary with a celebration at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival.Corey Moss

In addition, Planet E has a subsidiary label, Community Projects. Craig developed this label to present music of other genres, everything from afro blues to space jazz to world music.
