Crosstown are proud to present Juan Atkins and Theo Parrish, Sunday July 1st. Canada Day.
DJ JUAN ATKINS
Juan Atkins was playing techno when most of its current practitioners were playing in the schoolyard. Since 1981, the compositions of techno visionary Juan Atkins have sent shock waves through contemporary music. On the heels of the German group Kraftwerk, he and partner Rick Davis formed Cybotron, fusing austere European techno-pop with street-level funk. In 1985, Atkins formed Metroplex Records, not knowing that his unique brand of techno would soon inspire the anthems and soundtracks of the digital age -- the latest world music.
THEO PARRISH
As anyone who has experienced Theo Parrish the work of this consummate architect of sound envelopes the listener, and transmits new perspectives on club sonix. Theo's musical expression fuses the rhythmic, Disco-based pulse of Chicago House with the modernist motorik soul of Detroit Techno; at the same time pointing to a lineage in black music that runs directly from Sun Ra to Sound Signature. “Jazz spawned House music, Jazz spawned Hip Hop, Jazz spawned Funk and they all reflect back into that," says Theo. So if you want to see the future via the raw, soulful and black roots of House music, then you've come to the right teleporter.
