The Godfather of techno Juan Atkins dropped into the BBC studios for an interview with Benji B. for his Deviation radio show. Check it out here.
I've been listening to Juan's records for many years now and they still sound as fresh as the day he made them. This interview is a fascinating insight into the mind of Juan and he comes as a very sound and humble guy. Benji plays a lot of Juan Atkins classics so it a great introduction to the man for many who might not be aware of this man influence on music. Without question this man is the Godfather of moden electronic music.
Last year Juan brought his Model 500 project to Dublin for the city's annual DEAF festival. Here they perform the classic track 'Future'.
