Bleep

Early material from Juan Atkins’s Model 500 alias, No UFO’s is the founding record of Metroplex and an essential moment in techno history. Those classic 909s strewn across the record haven’t aged a day since the genre’s inception almost forty years ago, with reverberating toms and claps, acidic bass stabs, and laser ray flashes of noise adding to the alien, sci fi feel that the echoing, tense layers of lyrics vocalise. B side ‘Future’ meanwhile sits at the forefront of the “techno revolution” with its zipping effects and washes of synths.
