I.D.L.E. (remixes) – Metroplex 54

Detroit techno godfather Juan Atkins returns under his cult Model 500 alias for a new EP that delivers the same cantering basslines and crystalline precision that have defined the project for decades. ‘IDLE’ is a cyborg funk cut with withering vocals and a sleek belt of electro rhythms and ice-cold machinery. Two remixes expand the transmission: DJ Stingray pushes the track into his usual high-velocity, futurist territory, while FJAAK bring their unmistakable Berlin jack and drive things into raw, visceral warehouse-ready realms. A top genuine meeting point between generations that continues the Metroplex tradition of mechanical soul and forward-thinking electro-techno.
