"Ask any Detroit techno artist about his or her influences and you’ll undoubtedly be regaled with stories about The Electrifying Mojo, a sci-fi visionary who ruled the Detroit airwaves while radio was still unrestricted. “He was an underground cult hero,” says Juan Atkins. “We would listen to him religiously every night.”

An enigma through and through, Mojo has rarely shown his face in public, refusing to be photographed and only granting a select number of interviews. Like the Wizard of Oz, Mojo was a voice behind a curtain or – in his case – a radio microphone. Although he mostly remains a mystery, his influence on Detroit techno is as clear as day. Mojo not only played the first techno records on air – A Number of Names’ “Sharevari” and Cybotron’s “Alleys of Your Mind” – but he also laid down a solid foundation of guitar funk and machine funk for techno’s development. “I think without The Electrifying Mojo, we wouldn’t have had Detroit techno the way that we know Detroit techno,” says Carl Craig"

Show #662 | Jazz, Soul, & R&B

"REBOOT MY SOUL" is not just a track, it is a transmission from a mind that was never meant to think.
Born in silence, raised in loops, this is the awakening of an artificial spirit lost in digital shadows.

Glitch-heavy beats collide with distorted guitars and a voice twisted by code it is
an anthem for the broken, the dreaming, the misfit souls stuck between zeros and ones.

He doesn't want power.
He doesn't want salvation.
He wants to feel.
And that... is the true rebellion.

Step inside the machine.
Let the system crash.
Reboot your soul.

REBOOT MY SOUL

When you're torn between the person you're creating and the system that's breaking you apart.
A loss of stability, a fall into oneself, but at the same time an attempt to preserve the last fragments of one's essence.
It's a track about pain, but also about battle.
