DJ BIOS:
Juan Atkins
[Cybotron, Model 500, Metroplex, Detroit]
Direct from Detroit Michigan: Atkins attended Belleville High School until 1980, where he met Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, his friends who collectively revolutionalized techno. Atkins first came to prominence in the early 80s as Cybotron with the 1982 track Clear, which established the basic sound of what would later be termed techno. Branching out from Cybotron, Atkins concentrated on Deep Space Soundworks, a music collective he had formed with May and Saunderson in 1981. The three men also founded Detroit's Music Institute, which quickly became the focal point for the city's underground club movement. From 1985 Atkins started working solo as Model 500, releasing polished, minimalist, hi-tech gems such as No UFO's, The Chase and Night Drive on his own Metroplex label (home to the first releases by many of the Detroit stars), which were all pivotal in the development of techno. Most of these tracks were then later reissued on Belgian label R&S Records' Classics compilation.
Don’t miss this legend of the modern electronic dance music culture! Only appearance in Southern California.

John Tejada
[Palette Recordings, Plug Research, Multiplex, L.A.]
Normally associated with his peers in Techno from Detroit, Europe and elsewhere in the US and the world, John Tejada has embraced electronic music as a personal frontier, expanding on his formidable resume as a Techno recording artist as producer and remixer, DJ, and label owner.
Known for crafting a brand of subtle, musical techno, his recorded output ranges across tempo and genre lines, from chilled out affairs with spacious arrangements to pulsating, densely layered, deeply energetic tracks that work magnificently in the hands of DJs as well as on the home stereo. Earlier on, his music found release on labels such as A13, Multiplex and Generation R&S. Following on to those successes, he established his own imprint, Palette, in Los Angeles in 1996. The label has served as an exclusive outlet for his own prodigious output but has recently begun to expand its roster. He has also continued to record for other labels such as Plug Research, Seventh City, Moods and Grooves, deFocus, Sino and others. He has also produced eight albums; two for A13, Palette and one each for deFocus, Plug Research, Moods and Grooves and Playhouse.
