	Juan Atkins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Juan Atkins (born December 9, 1962 in Detroit) is an American musician.
		Atkins coined the term techno to describe their music, taking as one inspiration the works of futurist and author Alvin Toffler, from whom he borrowed the terms "cybotron" and "metroplex".
		Atkins has used the term techno to describe earlier bands that made heavy use of synthesizers such as Kraftwerk, although many people would consider Kraftwerk's music and Juan's early music in Cybotron as Electro.

	Armchair DJ: Features: Retrospectives: Juan Atkins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Juan Atkins is like a genie, the magical voice inside the machine.
		Atkins wasn't an isolated genius in early-'80s Detroit; in fact, on a 1998 mix CD he took pains to drop "Sharevari," a little-heard track by a posse of kids who beat him to the electro punch and were promptly forgotten.
		To give Atkins sole credit for the development of these forms would be to deny the collaborative and competitive spirit that has made electronic music so vital.

		Juan's reputation really started to spread in the second half of the eighties, when the new Detroit dance movement reached the shores of Europe.

	Juan Atkins
		At the dawn of the 1980s, Juan Atkins began recording what stands as perhaps the most influential body of work in the field of techno.
		Born in Detroit in 1962 (the son of a concert promoter), Juan Atkins began playing bass as a teenager and then moved on to keyboards and synthesizers, after being turned on to their use in Parliament records.
		Of course, Atkins continued recording during this time, and the period from 1985 to 1987 proved to be his most influential period.

	Juan Atkins: Legends: Volume 1 - PopMatters Music Review
		For once, the word "legend" actually applies: Juan Atkins is widely acknowledged, along with his old partners Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson and Rick Davis, as one of the founding fathers of Detroit techno, and even released a track way back in 1982, Cybotron's "Clear", that's considered to be the first real techno record.
		Atkins faces the same challenge as a lot of living legends: trying to remain relevant in the here and now when so much of his reputation is based on past glories.
		Atkins has been moving towards a warmer sound for some time, as he demonstrates on his opening track, his own "I Wanna Be There" from the 1995 album Deep Space, released under one of Atkins' many pseudonyms, Model 500.
