Plastikman Mix II

Plastikman Mix II (13/05/2022)

A major electronic music pioneer from Detroit, Juan appeared behind aliases such as Cybotron, Model 500, and Infiniti releasing many classics of Detroit techno.

The 1982 electro track "Clear", recorded by Atkins and Rick Davis as Cybotron, is often considered the first proto-techno track. Continuing to the experimentation by fusing the extra-terrestrial funk of Parliament Funkadelic with the futuristic rhythms and hard math of Kraftwerk and the progressive dance theorems proposed by Giorgio Moroder, the Model 500 12"s on his own label Metroplex laid the blueprint for Detroit techno.

Along with the tracks made by two schoolmates from the grade below, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, Detroit techno quickly made its way across the atlantic and immediately sparked the emerging rave culture and soon after the entire global dance community.

Moving through the later 1980's as Model 500, Atkins continued as one of the most prolific and sought after producers of electronic music throughout the 1990's, culminating in the use of an Atkins' original as the musical bed for the 2000 launch of the Ford Focus 'Detroit Techno' automobile.

Packing clubs nationally from Detroit to NYC, internationally from London to Venezuela, Juan has mastered the art of soaking up new rhythmic elements from contemporary dance music while keeping his unerring, instantly recognizable sense of melody intact.

Much discussed and anthologized not only for his 20 years of production credit but also for his ability to rock a dance floor, Juan Atkins' music and DJ-ing is deified in Europe and embraced all over the world. Juan has also been prolifically releasing albums, remixes and collaborations on Belgium's R & S Records, Germany's Tresor, and others.

Top British Dj/Producer Dave Clarke kicks into the X-Mix series with a stunning electro set drawn from a decade and a half of digital dance.
The X-Mix Electro Boogie places classic mid `80s grooves next to the cult contemporary cuts in which techno`s dancefloor predecessor still lives and breathes and flourishes.
"I`ve always loved this music", says Dave Clarke, who`s been spinning electro since this stuff first came out. Here he has crafted a unique subsonic soundscape. The pulse and the surge, the clatter and the chatter; this is how the future was always supposed to sound.

"There’s something about acid that transcends simply being a ‘genre’. It sums up the sound of the TB-303 – but also a certain era of house music and a social movement, all in one."

On with the techno mixes, and here's one very dear to my heart. 

Leaving aside S'Express and Technotronic, the first electronica I got into was via the likes of 808 State and Orbital, Sheffeld bleep n' bass, R&S and a bit of Tresor, so I largely missed out on the Detroit scene at the time (circa '90-'92). My critical entry point into falling in love with stateside techno was Plastikman, and once again I need to give thanks to Richard t/e/u/(@user-778760538) and his superb mixtapes, which are largely responsible for this. 
(I've just taken a few off my shelf to reminisce... scanning through a couple there's selections including Wagon Christ, Autechre, Luke Slater, A Guy Called Gerald, AFX, Blake Baxter, Sweet Exorcist, Sabres Of Paradise... lots of awesome stuff. I'd rip these if my walkman wasn't knackered. Maybe they could be future mix tracklists? I digress). 

Through these cassettes Richie Hawtin's minimal - yet spacious, lush, and at times concrete-hard sound was the first to really catch my ear, and Sheet One remains one of my most-cherished albums to this day. Here's a selection of his work mainly under the Plastikman and F.U.S.E. monikers, plus a couple others... yeah, strictly speaking I should have called this the Richie Hawtin mix but Plastikman sounds cooler, doesn't it.

Have fun :)

Home of my own mixes - predominantly jungle/hardcore with the odd bit of D&B, plus eclectic sample-digging, breaks and hip-hop, techno & electronica. 

Pre-2001, all mixes vinyl; Post-2016, all mixes digital (DJay 2); Post-2018, Ableton Live. Why? Why not?
I've got an old skool DJ's mentality, early influences ranging from Sublove, Ratty, Randall & Hype to Coldcut, DJ Juice, MK & Primo.  In the early 00s I turned my back on D&B, retired my turntables in favour of family/work commitments, and got into funk, soul, reggae and so on... a lot of this driven by curiosity around the sample roots of hardcore and jungle.  Forward another decade and an early mid-life crisis saw me messing around with virtual decks on my phone, and later acquiring a vinyl ripper, with one vision in mind: making mixes.
Although I'm partial to the odd DJay or vinyl mix when I get the chance, the progression into Ableton Live was a simple means to an end.  My ideas stretch further than the limitations of my physical collection and real-time mixing, and by sequencing I can pick, choose, chip away and structure mixes at my leisure. Which I do... a lot :)

Wait, there's more ... an absolute stack of classic golden era/old skool hip-hop/turntablism, jungle and d&b, hardcore, techno and house mixes retrieved from my dusty tape & CD archives.  This includes (by my reckoning) the most exhaustive collections of classic Full Cycle and Sublove Galaxy Radio shows, live Ruffneck Ting jungle tapes, loads of studio & compilation mixes, all manner of rave tapes, and so on. 
Use the playlist shortcuts (top of spotlight) to find your way around. 

Have fun, spread the love :)
