Model 500Model 500, Cybotron, Infiniti – define and deify him as you will: techno alchemist Juan Atkins is the conjuror behind these lambent appellations; a progressive dance originator; and a critical figurehead in electronic music. A first-generation Detroit techno pioneer, whose peers include fellow legends Kevin Saunderson and Triptych 08 ally Derrick May, Atkins is globally lauded for his 1982 proto-techno hit "Clear" (as Cybotron). His ingenious Model 500 guise, meanwhile, blazed a trail for futuristic, minimalist dance music with hi-tech classics "No UFOs" and "Time Space Transmat". A UK live debut for Model 500, Atkins invades Triptych with an aural suckerpunch in tow: he'll be joined onstage by Cornelius Harris (aka The Unknown Writer), Mark Taylor (aka Vintage Future), ghetto-tech beat-freak DJ Skurge AND the phenomenal 'Mad' Mike Banks – Detroit techno demagogue, subcultural insurgent and Underground Resistance lightning rod. Woah!
