Model 500

Title:
Control

Label:
R&S Records

Cat#:
RS1202

Release Date:
20th February 2012

Format:
12″ & digital

Tracklist:
01)
Controly

02)
The Messenger

Info:
Juan Atkins returns to R&S on a Model 500 solo mission. The last Model 500 single enlisted the help of the live line up that includes Detroit techno royalty Mike Banks and UR alumni Mark Taylor, but this latest release is just Juan in the studio and back at his best.

‘Control’ is vintage Model 500, the classic electro that Atkins pretty much invented, with his treated vocals riding over the crisp rhythm programming, dark basslines and Detroit synths.
‘The Messenger’ on the flip is a moodier affair, with the liquid synths almost running away with themselves over the rough beats.

Model 500 and R&S has proved to have been a classic combination over the years and this release is one to file next to the classics.

Tracklist:
01)
Mada Theory

02)
East Box

 

Press Info:
US native and Techno newcomer 785 blasts onto the scene with a stellar debut 12”.

Kansas native 785 debuts with his first 12” ever on Jerome Sydenham’s Apotek records. It is clear this evasive sound engineer has a special gift to craft Techno from sources others may have never dared to tap.

The A-side ‘Mada Theory’ is a display of pure Techno diversity with slight nods to dub, ambient and the upper class of minimal. A record whose beauty may lay in it simplicity until one witnesses the complex chaos it causes on dance-floors.

The flip, ‘East Box’, gets a tad more ‘mechanical’ utilizing drilling kicks and a host of atmospheric sounds sliding in unison with machine rhythms, coagulating into some hardened molten Tech-Funk.

Both tracks have that special something that makes them standout. What has he employed that others haven’t? A phenomenon we’ll have to wait to decode until he unleashes his next pack of roving beats.
