Model 500
by John Bush The source for most of Juan Atkins prime material, Model 500 was the Detroit godfathers guise for over a decade. Beginning with the 1985 classic No UFOs and extending to the release of his first proper LP (1995s Deep Space), the alias made Atkins reputation with ten singles for his own Metroplex Records and several others for the Belgian R&S label. The same year Deep Space dropped, R&S also released a compilation including the best of Model 500s Metroplex material. [See Also: Juan Atkins, Cybotron, Infiniti]
