Juan Atkins' Infiniti project combines raw tactility and puristic elegance with Skynet, where slinking grooves mask chaotic frequencies and roughly-hewn structure.

Alongside fellow Detroit legend Terrence Dixon who appears on several tracks, Atkins exposes the life and emotion in machines, outputting a biomorphic atmosphere of industrial soul.

The ongoing importance of this album is indisputable, essential both to techno and to Tresor.

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.

DAST is a Naples-born artist whose sound brings a distinctive energy to the decks, merging groove, depth, and forward-thinking experimentation with ease. Influenced by '90s music and shaped by years of sonic exploration, his quality productions have landed on respected labels like Sven Väth's Cocoon, Pan-Pot's Second State, Exos' Planet X, Ricardo Garduno's Illegal Alien, and Fixon & Dig-it's ANAØH. This exclusive mix is an immersive journey through rhythm and emotion from one of Italy's most compelling voices in modern techno. Bursting with raw cuts and hardgroove influences, the gritty sound palette pushes forward with power, jackin' vibes, as well as a window into classic Detroit sensibility. A clear vision of presenting  a concoction of futuristic sounds with nostalgic feelings, he has delivered an authentic experience of audio compulsion. Tracks featured by Ribé & Roll Dann, Cari Lekebusch, Phil Berg, Obscure Shape, T.A.M, The Miller, VIL & CRAVO, and many more.

The Aquanaut drifted.
Bass in it's wake.

An Ambassador at the helm,
Spinning Electro into the void.

A Black Hole opened.
The Rhythm answered.

Mushrooms fell.
The Universe danced.

DJ since 1996, my style has evolved a lot and my sound universe is based on a sound atmosphere that can go from the House of Chicago, passing through that of Detroit, with a Techno dub turn, then the melodious techno of Detroit and finally a more rhythmic techno.

I started to build my sound thanks to vinyl and I never left it. digital has not passed through me and the warmth of the sound from vinyl has no comparison. 

I was part of a Lille association, Lawtech, which organized parties in the north of France. 

My favorite artists are varied: from Barac, to Levon Vincent, Omar S, passing by Derrick May, Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, then Stacey Pullen, Derrick Carter, Dennis Ferrer and the master Laurent Garnier.

I appreciate the long Mixes allowing you to travel in my universe, from the softest and Groove to the darkest and hardest.

Taking a small break from recording weekly Hjärngymnastik mixes at the moment. I'll be back shortly.

Gigs? PM.

Hjärngymnastik is my weekly digging project where I search for electronic music released before year 2001, sourced from vinyl, CDs and digital.

At midnight, on March 13th 1991, a basement door opened at Leipziger Strasse 126, Berlin. Through this door, many passed, on their way to defining new terrains in electronic music. There they found a dance floor in the vaults of a closed-down department store, with a unique sound bound to dense fog, building night after night a history that was also a vision of the future. 

This history has seen in Jeff Mills’ first sets on three turntables, Underground Resistance's first live appearances in Europe, grandiose Tresor Park parties, to various chapters of the Loveparade with Sven Väth in the 90s and since then countless generation-spanning parties. These moments represent the highlights of infinite personal clubbing experiences. It is the manifestation of the Berlin spirit, emerging from its considerable strife. This history is not without its complications - from temporary closure by the authorities and several raids in the early years to closure and demolition of the old location in 2005. What followed was years of wandering in exile and, finally, resurrection in the new home in Kraftwerk Berlin.

These stories, conversations and shared experiences within our walls forge a resilience that drives towards a shared ideal, the Tresor sound: community, resistance, and the world to come. This was observed in the newly re-unified German youth, who danced and celebrated together from the club’s inception, and into the present day through ongoing community work in Detroit. 

Tresor Records was founded in the same year and began to serve as a platform for exporting the new sounds associated with Tresor all around the world. Emergent musicians from Michigan, such as Juan Atkins, Underground Resistance and Drexciya, were pivotal in shaping these early years. Their visits to Berlin would kick-start dialogue between the youth movement in Europe and these musicians. This story is one of friendship and community-building, inextricably linked with cities like Detroit, Birmingham or Edinburgh, where like-minded friends built something truly special, where revelatory rhythms soundtrack decaying industry in corrupted metropoles. 

Tresor Records has been the fertile soil for dozens upon dozens of creative minds, from the very luminaries of the scene who developed electronic music over the last three decades through to contemporary protagonists who are currently defining the sound of the future -  A more than 300 strong catalogue displays an unmistakable identity - the Tresor spirit.

To those that have danced before, and to those that will dance in the future: the light at the end of the long Tresor tunnel is a signal. A flicker amidst the fog. This is our future. This is our place.
