Cybotron has re-emerged in our contemporary cybercultural age when artifactual futures begin a transition into a new era of
\n“Meta”.<\/p>\n
By combining their knowledge of philosophy, science fiction, and mechanical engineering, at a time when electronic instrument
\ncompanies were only just beginning to distribute their products to the masses, two prosumer audio technicians named Juan
\nAtkins and Rik Davis were able to re-engineer Cybotron \u2013 a combination of the words \u201cCyborg\u201d and \u201cCyclotron\u201d (an atomic
\nparticle accelerator) \u2013 to be used as a home studio performance music that would change the course of independently produced
\nand distributed electronic music.<\/p>\n
Dissolving the boundary between singer, songwriter, and producer, Juan Atkins named Cybotron\u2019s future forward funkadelic
\nsound \u201ctechno\u201d in reference to Alvin To ler\u2019s concept of unlikely \u201ctechno rebels\u201d against technocracy. Techno is music that
\nsounds like technology, and its purpose was to help society survive our collision with a universally felt \u201cfuture shock\u201d by inserting
\nan audio virus into the cultural matrix.<\/p>\n
Techno\u2019s blueprint spread across the Detroit-Berlin Axis between Metroplex and Tresor. As human society began its transition
\nfrom a post-industrial to an information-based market economy, Cybotron enabled a thorough system override of the human
\nsenses towards a tangible man-machine hybridity and showed the world how to channel their emotions and imaginations into
\nnew sound technologies and create new \u2018sonic\u2019 spatialities where listeners can transport themselves out of the physical world
\ninto the future. The cover of their debut album Enter (1983) transmitted a fragmented view of a body in motion being digitized
\nmid-stride, dissolving physical and virtual reality into sonic fiction.<\/p>\n
Today, the man-machine hybridity of Cybotron is still the truest form of techno, coevolving in conversation with the technological music they created and inspired. The latest data disk marks a new chapter that reflects a techgnostic musical expression of
\nthe knowledge acquired during their decades-long hiatus. Unlike the dance music industrial replications of the Model 500
\nformula, acknowledging the content marketing expectations that segments music into specific, sellable genres, this techno
\nmusic is self-aware. Cybotron processes dance music tropes spawned from its very own blueprint with a meta-tactical precision
\nout of sync with our current rave new world.<\/p>\n
Cybotron\u2019s return demonstrates a studied engagement with what techno was and should be with a peerless update of Juan
\nAtkins\u2019 initial inventive idea of do-it-yourself electrically reengineered music xeroxed onto both sides of the 12\u201d \u2013 uploaded
\ndirectly into the alleys of your mind.
