Yeah, missy has herself plugged in.

Juan Atkins is a low class crackhead lowlife. He played after me at a gig in Miami once. As he was setting up his records I went to intro myself to him and told him that I've respected his work and thanked him for his contributions to music. I explained we started a new techno label from NY and handed him a small flyer with our logo and contact info. He dropped it on the floor in front of me and asked "are you done playing yet" with a seriously bad attitude. I was really tempted to punch him in the face, but I wouldn't stoop to his crackhead level. I played 2 more records and ended on my set time with my labels new release at the time. I explainened to him that it was our new release. He slowed it down all the way to minus 8 on the deck and let it play like that for a while. Then trian wrecked out of it into some terrible house tune, and continued to trainwreck for the remainder of his set. I took the record off and told him he's got problems. No class and a terrible dj, sorry i know alot of people on here credit him with all he's done (whatever) but I don't have any respect for someone like that, there's no excuse for that behavior. F** him i really hope he doesn't win.

i'd of deffinatly knocked the cunt out. wouldnt care who it was.

what a wanker :shock:

trainwrecking is his style LOL

that attitude sucks

yea, to be honest i dont think i have ever heard a good mix from him. great tunes but he's bloody awful.

respect an all that for what he's done.. no need for the attitude though

damn right
many people contributed to the scene a lot, but they're still down to earth
ok, sometime you just have a bad day, but shyte like this deserves a punch...

Everybody should have respect for what these guys from Belleville had done, but as I see now Juan is a really arrogant f*cker. I would be really pissed off when I was on your place :/

i met him a couple times and he was nice to me...

...and really if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have what we have here...

...terrible dj though.

sleasy, sleasy...

well guys, detroit and to a certain extent the usa is now a running joke with most of my folks. screw it. it just opens doors for those of us who keep it pro and for whom quality and respect are job 1

Ig uess that's fair since you seem to be a running joke with everyone else. :p

lets leave out the personal insults people

It was a joke. Wait, is this a serious thread? I got lost after the crackhead, punches, etc. comments. ;)

damn, a nice foot to his face would have been nice heh

at least toss the flyer when i'm not looking

saw / heard him dj on NYE - was a bit pants really...however very battered so can't really comment - do remember thinking 'this is a bit boring really'.......deserves some sort of place in techo history obviously - but hardly cutting edge these days. I'm not going to vote for him tho.........meeting your heroes - always a bad idea really.

wow.. this is crazy.

first of all, i love ya orange man but why post this on a forum - it's personal opinion????????

second, we wouldnt be here we it not for him.

THINK ABOUT IT!!!

i cant believe you're all being like this. juan atkins is the reason why we are here! and if you cant see this, i'll shut down this site right now. leave the personal crap out of it pleeeeeaaaaseee!!!!!!

i interviewed him once and i have to say i can see he was perhaps a little adverse to public contact but jesus, this man created the very thing we're talking about!!!!!!

guys, juan atkins IS TECHNO! stop this shit! arrghhh!!! it's ridiculous. i just dont get you!!!! i feel like crying!!!

:(
