Released to commemorate two decades of electronic innovation, this anthology spans the vast output of Juan Atkins, universally recognized as the originator of Detroit techno. Compiling highlights from his various pioneering aliases—including Model 500 and Infiniti—the tracks chart his revolutionary fusion of Kraftwerk-inspired European synthesizer music with the rhythmic syncopation of P-Funk. The collection is an indispensable historical guide to the very foundation of modern dance music.
