Techno starts with Juan Atkins - and to pay our respects and share our industrial Mancunian connection to the motor city and the huge impact that Juan the electronic music artist as Cybotron, Model 500, Model 600, Infiniti, Audiotech etc etc gave to us, I will be hosting an evening to pay tribute to him. Expect talks about the early electro pop scene that spawned his group Cybotron with 3070 and how Juan developed this sound into Techno via Detroit as we know it today. Together we will explore what the pure Afrofuturist sound really is and how it set off the movement worldwide. We will listen to a selection to his pivotal releases over the last 40 plus years and I will include the history too and to end off will play a set afterwards so you can experience this dance music the way it should be heard. The event will take place The Other People Place, upstairs at renae on 19th November. All proceeds donated back to his family.
