Juan Atkins (second from left) with Kevin Saunderson, Eddie Fowlkes, and Derrick May.
Speak to the average denizens of Motor City and they have absolutely no idea whatsover the impact their home town's underground music has had on the world, and European bedroom producers in particular. Shame. Here are four machine-funk slices of space-age Atkins magic.
Model 500 - Starlight - Deep Space - 1995
Infiniti - Skyway - Skynet - 1998
E-Dancer - Heavenly (Juan Atkins Mix) - Heavenly - 1998
Model 500 - Ocean to Ocean (Global Mix) - Transmat 14 - 1990
I have one track only - Blast Off by the Gherkin Jerks. Frankly it's not that great imho, but if you email me I'll get it to you if you want it.
