Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Juan Atkins ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea hana i nā mele techno. Mai kēia i puka mai ai kahi pūʻulu o nā ʻano i ʻike ʻia i kēia manawa he electronica. ʻO ia paha ka mea mua i hoʻohana i ka huaʻōlelo "techno" i ke mele.
ʻO kāna mau kani uila hou i hoʻoikaika i nā ʻano mele a pau i hele mai ma hope. Eia naʻe, me ka ʻokoʻa o ka poʻe hahai i nā mele hula uila, kakaikahi nā mea aloha mele e ʻike i ka inoa ʻo Juan Atkins.
ʻOiai ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi hōʻikeʻike ma ka Detroit Historical Museum i hoʻolaʻa ʻia no kēia mea hoʻokani pila, ke noho nei ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻelele mele o kēia wā.
Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ke mele Techno ma Detroit, Michigan, kahi i hānau ʻia ai ʻo Atkins ma Kepakemapa 12, 1962. Ua hoʻopili ka poʻe pā a puni ka honua i nā mele ʻo Atkins me nā ʻāina ʻeleʻele pinepine o Detroit. Hōʻike lākou i nā hale i haʻalele ʻia mai ka makahiki 1920 a me nā kaʻa kahiko.
Ua haʻi ʻo Atkins iā ia iho i kāna mau manaʻo no ka lewa pōʻino o Detroit me Dan Cicco: "Ua hauʻoli wau i ke kikowaena o ke kūlanakauhale, ma ka Griswold. Nānā au i ka hale a ʻike aku i ka hōʻailona o ka American Airline. ʻO ke ala ma hope o kā lākou wehe ʻana i ka hōʻailona. Ua aʻo au i kekahi mea e pili ana iā Detroit - ma kekahi kūlanakauhale ʻē aʻe, he ʻūhū nui ʻoe i ke kaona."
Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole i loaʻa ka hoʻomaka maoli o ka mōʻaukala o nā mele techno ma Detroit. ʻO ka hapalua hola ma ke komohana hema o Detroit ʻo Belleville, Michigan, kahi kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi kokoke i ke alaloa. Ua hoʻouna nā mākua o Juan iā Juan a me kona kaikunāne e noho me ko lākou kupunawahine ma hope o ka emi ʻana o ka hana a ke keikikāne ma ke kula a hoʻomaka ka hana ʻino ma nā alanui.
Ma ke ʻano he haumāna kula waena a me ke kula kiʻekiʻe ma Belleville, hui ʻo Atkins me Derrick May lāua ʻo Kevin Saunderson, nā mea hoʻokani pila. Ua kipa pinepine ka ʻekolu iā Detroit no nā ʻano "kau ʻana". Ma hope mai, ua kapa ʻia nā kāne ʻo The Belleville Three, a loaʻa iā Atkins kona inoa ponoʻī - Obi Juan.
Ua alakaʻi ʻia ʻo Juan Atkins e ka mea hoʻokele lekiō ʻo Electrifying Mojo
ʻO ka makua kāne o Atkins he mea hoʻonohonoho ʻaha mele, a i ka wā i ulu ai ke keiki, aia nā mea kani like ʻole i loko o ka hale. Ua lilo ʻo ia i mea punahele no kahi lekiō lekiō Detroit i kapa ʻia ʻo Electrifying Mojo (Charles Johnson).
He mea hoʻokani mele manuahi ʻo ia, he DJ ma ka lekiō kalepa ʻAmelika, nona nā hōʻike i hui pū ʻia nā ʻano a me nā ʻano. Ua hui pū ʻo Electrifying Mojo me nā mea pena kiʻi like ʻole i ka makahiki 1970 e like me George Clinton, Parliament a me Funkadelic. I kēlā manawa, ʻo ia kekahi o nā DJ ʻAmelika liʻiliʻi i hoʻokani i nā mele hula uila uila ma ka lekiō.
"Inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike i ke kumu i hele mai ai ʻo techno i Detroit, pono ʻoe e nānā iā DJ Electrifying Mojo - he ʻelima mau hola o ka lekiō i kēlā me kēia pō me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana," wahi a Atkins i ka Village Voice.
I nā makahiki 1980 mua, ua lilo ʻo Atkins i mea hoʻokani mele nāna i ʻike i ka wahi momona ma waena o ka funk a me nā mele uila. ʻOiai i kona wā ʻōpio, ua pāʻani ʻo ia i nā kīwī, akā mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana ua hoihoi ʻo ia i ka console DJ. Ma ka home, ua hoʻāʻo ʻo ia me kahi huila a me kahi mea hoʻopaʻa cassette.
Ma hope o ke puka ʻana mai ke kula kiʻekiʻe, hele ʻo Atkins i ke Kulanui Kaiāulu ʻo Washtenaw ma kahi o Ypsilanti, kokoke i Belleville. Ma muli o ka launa pū ʻana me nā hoa haumāna, ʻo Rick Davis ka mea kahiko o Vietnam, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Atkins e aʻo i ka hana leo uila.
ʻO ka ʻike o ke kāhea ʻana e Juan Atkins
Loaʻa iā Davis nā ʻano mea hana hou, me kekahi o nā sequencers mua (kahi mea e hiki ai i ka mea hoʻohana ke hoʻopaʻa i nā leo uila) i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e ka Roland Corporation. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, ua uku ʻia ka hui pū ʻana o Atkins me Davis - hoʻomaka lāua e kākau mele pū.
"Makemake au e kākau i nā mele uila, manaʻo wau e lilo wau i mea papahana, akā ʻike wau ʻaʻole paʻakikī e like me ka mea ma mua," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Atkins ma kahi ninaninau me ka nūpepa Village Voice.
Ua hui pū ʻo Atkins iā Davis (nāna i lawe i ka pseudonym 3070) a ua hoʻomaka lāua e kākau mele. Ua hoʻoholo ka duo e kāhea iā Cybotron. Ua ʻike ʻole nā kāne i kēia huaʻōlelo ma kahi papa inoa o nā huaʻōlelo futuristic a hoʻoholo lākou ʻo ia ka mea e pono ai lākou no ka inoa o ka duet.
I ka makahiki 1981, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia a kūʻai aku ʻo ia ma kahi o 15 kope ma Detroit ma hope o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Electrifying Mojo e hoʻolele i ka mea hoʻokahi ma kāna papahana lekiō.
ʻO ka lua o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o Cosmic Cars i kūʻai maikaʻi ʻia. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ua ʻike ka inoa kūʻokoʻa ʻo West Coast Fantasy e pili ana i ka duet. ʻAʻole ʻimi ʻo Atkins lāua ʻo Davis i ka waiwai nui ma ke kākau ʻana a me ke kūʻai ʻana i kā lāua mele. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Atkins ʻaʻole lākou i ʻike i kekahi mea e pili ana i ka hōʻailona West Coast Fantasy. Akā i kekahi lā ʻaʻole lākou i hoʻouna i kahi ʻaelike ma ka leka uila no ke kau inoa ʻana.
ʻO ka mele "i kapa ʻia" he ʻano holoʻokoʻa
I ka makahiki 1982, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Cybotron i ke mele Clear. Ua kapa ʻia kēia hana me ke kani anuanu ma hope mai he mele uila. Wahi a nā mele kahiko, ʻaʻohe huaʻōlelo i loko o ke mele. ʻO kēia "hoʻopunipuni" ka nui o nā mea hana techno i hōʻaiʻē ma hope. E hoʻohana i nā huaʻōlelo o ke mele ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻohui a hoʻonaninani paha no ke mele.
I ka makahiki aʻe, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Atkins lāua ʻo Davis iā Techno City, a nui nā mea hoʻolohe i hoʻomaka e hoʻohana i ke poʻo o ke mele e wehewehe i ke ʻano mele nona ia.
Ua lawe ʻia kēia huaʻōlelo hou mai ka mea kākau futurist ʻo Alvin Toffler's The Third Wave (1980), kahi i hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ai nā huaʻōlelo "techno-rebels". Ua ʻike ʻia ua heluhelu ʻo Juan Atkins i kēia puke i ke kula kiʻekiʻe ma Belleville.
ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ua hoʻomaka nā kuʻikahi ma ka duet o Atkins lāua ʻo Davis. Ua hoʻoholo nā kāne e haʻalele ma muli o nā makemake mele like ʻole. Ua makemake ʻo Davis e kuhikuhi i kāna mele i ka pōhaku. Atkins - ma ka ʻenehana. ʻO ka hopena, ua komo ka mea mua i loko o ka pouli. I ka manawa like, ua hana ka lua i nā hana e hoʻolaha i nā mele hou āna i hana ai.
I ka hui pū ʻana me Mei a me Saunderson, ua hoʻokumu ʻo Juan Atkins i ka hui Deep Space Soundworks. I ka wā mua, ua hoʻonohonoho ka hui iā ia iho ma ke ʻano he kaiāulu o nā DJ i alakaʻi ʻia e Atkins. Akā naʻe, ua hoʻokumu ka poʻe mele i kahi hui ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Detroit i kapa ʻia ʻo The Music Institute.
ʻO ka lua o ka hanauna o nā DJ techno, me Carl Craig lāua ʻo Richie Hawtin (i kapa ʻia ʻo Plastikman), hoʻomaka i ka hana ma ka hui. Ua loaʻa ʻo Techno music i kahi ma kahi lekiō Detroit ma Fast Forward.
Juan Atkins: hana hou a ka mea hoʻokani pila
Ua hoʻokuʻu koke ʻo Atkins i kāna mele mele mua loa, Deep Space, i kapa ʻia ʻo Infinity. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā album hou aʻe ma nā lepili techno like ʻole. Skynet i ka makahiki 1998 ma ka inoa German Tresor. Mind and Body i ka makahiki 1999 ma ka lepili Belgian R&S.
ʻOiai ʻo nā mea āpau, ua kaulana ʻo Atkins ma kona kūlanakauhale hānau ʻo Detroit. Akā ʻo ka Detroit Electronic Music Festival, i mālama ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma ke kahakai ʻo Detroit, ua hōʻike i ka hopena maoli o ka hana a Atkins. Ma kahi o 1 miliona mau kānaka i hele mai e hoʻolohe i ka poʻe hahai mele. Hana lākou i nā mea a pau e hula me nā mea uila wale nō.
Ua hana ʻo Juan Atkins iā ia iho ma ka ʻahaʻaina ma 2001. Ma kahi ninaninau āna i hāʻawi ai ma ka puke ʻo Jahsonic's Orange, ua noʻonoʻo ʻo ia i ke kūlana ambivalent o techno ma ke ʻano he mele ʻApelika-ʻAmelika. "Hiki iaʻu ke noʻonoʻo inā he hui mākou o nā keiki keʻokeʻo, ua lilo mākou i miliona miliona, akā ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻano racist e like me ka mea i ʻike mua ʻia," wahi āna.
“ʻAʻohe ʻike o nā lepili ʻeleʻele. Ma ka liʻiliʻi e kamaʻilio mai nā poʻe keʻokeʻo iaʻu. ʻAʻole lākou e neʻe a hāʻawi. Akā ʻōlelo mau lākou: "Aloha mākou i kāu mele a makemake mākou e hana i kekahi mea me ʻoe."
Ma 2001, ua hoʻokuʻu pū ʻo Atkins i nā Legends, Vol. 1, he album ma ka lepili OM. ʻO ka mea kākau moʻolelo ʻo Scripps Howard News Service ʻo Richard Paton i ʻōlelo ʻo ka album "ʻaʻole i kūkulu ʻia ma luna o nā hana i hala aku nei, akā hoʻohui pū ʻia nā pūʻulu i noʻonoʻo maikaʻi ʻia". Ua hoʻomau ʻo Atkins i ka hana ma nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua o ka Atlantika, e neʻe ana i Los Angeles i nā makahiki 2000 mua.
Ua hōʻike nui ʻia ma "Techno: Detroit's Gift to the World", kahi hōʻike 2003 ma Detroit. Ma 2005, hana ʻo ia ma ka Hui Necto ma Ann Arbor, Michigan, kokoke i Belleville.
ʻO nā mea hoihoi e pili ana iā Juan Atkins a me techno
- ʻAʻole hiki i ka trio kaulana mai Detroit no ka manawa lōʻihi ke kūʻai aku i nā lako waiwai no ka hoʻopaʻa mele. ʻOiai ʻo ka hele ʻana mai o nā kāne a pau mai nā ʻohana pōmaikaʻi, mai ka "arsenal" holoʻokoʻa o nā lako hoʻopaʻa leo leo wale nō nā cassette a me kahi leo leo.
Ma hope wale nō o ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi mīkini pahu, kahi synthesizer a me kahi console DJ ʻehā. ʻO ia ke kumu i loko o kā lākou mau mele hiki iā ʻoe ke lohe i ʻehā mau leo like ʻole i kau ʻia ma luna o kekahi.
- ʻO ka hui Kelemania ʻo Kraftwerk ka manaʻo noʻonoʻo no Atkins a me kāna mau hoa. Ua hoʻomaka ka hui e hana a hoʻoholo e hana i kahi "kipi". Ua ʻaʻahu ʻia e like me nā robots, ua lawe lākou i ke kahua me nā mele "ʻenehana" hou loa no ia manawa.
- Loaʻa iā Juan Atkins ka inoa ʻo The Originator (pioneer, initiator), no ka mea, ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ka makuakāne o ka techno.
Na Juan Atkins ka hui mooolelo Metroplex.
