Carl Crack (born Carl Böhm, May 5 1971 in Swaziland – died September 6, 2001) was a Berlin-based techno artist best known for his membership in the digital hardcore band Atari Teenage Riot from 1992 to 2000.

Around 1992 Crack displayed little interest in the music scene as it was at the time. He felt that The Beatnigs (the original vehicle for social and political critic Michael Franti, later of the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy and Spearhead) were one of the few significant bands around. Along with the other members of Atari Teenage Riot he was looking for a new direction.

Crack initially had a significant influence on ATR’s style, particularly on the first two albums where he developed an MC style which owed less to the U.S. than his own imagination. He also had his own musical ideas that could not be expressed within the confines of a group, leading to his only solo release, 1998's "Black Ark". It is, as the name suggests, heavily influenced by dub and in particular Lee Perry. Adding hip-hop to the beats and taking ideas from Japanese noise to create atmosphere, Crack created the sound of the city that owed a debt to John Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme.”

After heavy touring to promote ATR’s third album, "60 Second Wipe Out", the members of the group commenced work on follow ups to their various solo projects.

Crack appeared on Cobra Killer's 2002 album, "The Third Armpit".

He also was part of Firewire and Whatever, both with Din-St.

Crack was working on a new record before he was found dead in his apartment due to a drug overdose on September 6 2001. He was 30 years old.
