everyone has their juan atkins posts (all heaters!), but I just wanted to zoom out::
techno is one of the few truly modern genres. one that transmuted prince, parliament and blue note into pure machine funk, and had a Cambrian explosion into hip-hop, pop, and beyond.
one where the creators—the legends!—are playing festival stages (that wouldn't exist w/o them!), and mentoring the next gen actively.
if there was no Juan Atkins, there'd be no "Lose Control" by Missy(!), no "Be A Superman" by YMO, no "Baby Got Back" (yup). sheesh.
here's to the OGs, here's to what's next. damn.

RIP. Let’s remember that techno was invented in Detroit by black kids, not in Berlin.
Juan Atkins, the Detroit producer and DJ who co-founded techno music, has died

Imagine sitting in a corner, just losing your religion and some asshole throws a spotlight on you.

Ah well, only Glastonbury innit. At least one day we'll definitely all die. Lovely, lovely, warm, sweet death
