Hibiscus Mix

This month’s show features DJ and producer @juan-atkins, also known as Model 500 or Infiniti, and the music of his fabled label Metroplex. 

Launched in 1985, Metroplex opened with the Model 500 EP "No UFOs." The global demand for his new sound provided Atkins with an outlet for a string of iconic releases. 40 years on, he remains deeply committed to pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration.

For Carhartt WIP Radio, Juan Atkins has created a Metroplex anniversary mix that underlines the label’s innovative style, with tracks by himself, as well as his daughter Milan Ariel, and producers like Robert Hood. 

As ever, we also sat down with this month’s host, as he reflected on 40 years of Metroplex and how one marks such an occasion - before turning our attention to the future, naturally. Listen to the mix and read the interview at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music.
