Chris Carter began his career in the late 1960s working as a sound engineer for Thames, Granada and LWT on numerous TV shows and documentaries, and received commissions for BBC shows, Colour Me Pop and The Old Grey Whistle Test. In the mid 1970s, Chris began an experimental music/sound collaboration with Cosey Fanni Tutti, Genesis P-Orridge (also working together as performance art group COUM Transmissions) and Peter Christopherson. The result was the creation of the now legendary Throbbing Gristle, Industrial Records and the birth of the 'Industrial Music' genre.
Anthony Shakir is one of if not the most underrated names in Detroit techno. Producing tracks on his own since 1981, Shakir worked as a co-writer, producer, editor, and engineer next to Atkins, May, and Carl Craig in the late 1980s. Some of his first material appeared on the seminal "Techno! The New Dance Sound of Detroit" compilation. In the 1990s he co-found Puzzlebox with Keith Tucker and Frictional with Claude Young.
