Biography

For more than ten years, Model 500 served as the alias for Detroit deity Juan Atkins' Electro-driven Techno madness. Whipping freakish dancefloors into frenzies since the mid-1980s, Atkins' tunes set the standard for the Detroit Techno style by serving up swift, robotic beats, oddly funky basslines and inhuman sound effects. Model 500's first release "No UFO's" proved to be a classic upon its first appearance in 1985.
