The market for techno is saturated with excellently produced music which in turn masks the lack of soul and feeling. I hope young producers will get back to the origns of the music and bring back the message of the men that came before them like this man. Thank you for the music Juan
thank you RA & Chloe lula for this special interview 🙏🤩 Juan what to say ... No words need....only a huge thank you for experimenting new sounds for us in advance. search and feel deeply💛🏴☠️🖤 tresor no berghain is politics 🤣
Damn, Juan talking about his teenager years using drum pattern samples from a library music record and overdubbing with his Korg MS10 and bass guitar. Imagine: jungle but born in Detroit. Though I guess you couldn’t technologically do jungle on an industrial scale without cheap and powerful samplers… so late 80s at the earliest
Techno has become another viably commercial product with a big red bow on top of it for the masses to consume. It is now simply a product that generates revenue. Gone are the days from UR, Drexiya or the Detroit mind set that made it special to begin with.
I’ve seen Juan throw down some amazing DJ sets back in the day. Probably can be called inconsistent as a DJ, but when he was into it was as good as there was behind the decks.
Detroit radio, especially Mojo had such an impact on so many lives, including mine. The same can be said for Juan and Techno.

Great content, wise questions and wise answers. A true icon of this sound we all cherish.
Godfather of techno, nuff said.

Amazing, really amazing interview. Thanks R.A.
Don’t get it twisted, it’s the BELLEVILLE FOUR: Derrick May, Juan “Magic” Atkins, Kevin “MasterResse” Saunderson, AND EDDIE “FLASHIN’” FOWLKES.
Eddie is that you?😂

Really enjoyed that interview.
Wonder why that one audience question towards the end is digitally edited out?
Love this, learning all the things to make stuff happen 👾🚀
RA doing long form interviews now?

Inspiration of the millennium
Detroit connection to Japan with automotive industry brought anime sci-fi and drum machines
Dj nobu is brilliant
They should have let that Glaswegian fella do the interview
Look at Detroit now... A wasteland...
Terrible DJ great producer
