Here is a mix by Dean Feeney entitled “An Open Letter to Juan Atkins” which features music that wouldn’t have been possible without Juan’s influence, it is a small tribute to the godfather of techno music. Read the full article including some words from Mad Mike Banks of UR. http://infinitestatemachine.com/2008/11/27/thanksgiving-special-love-for-juan-atkins/ "Juan has not been doing so good lately and we've decided to come together and show some love for the man who's given us so much. There's not many musical revolutions around today whose originator is still alive. Anyway drop over and show some love... The mix contains music that would not be possible without Juan's influence. With tracks from UR, The other people place, Eamonn Doyle, Scott Grooves and more.."
Chicago house producer DJ Sneak is next in line to do a mix for NRK's Back In The Box series.
Following on from Dave Clarke's selection of vintage acid-house, Sneak's double-disc mix perfectly encapsulates his loopily jacking sound, taking in Cajmere, Paul Johnson and Derrick Carter. Why all the old stuff? Back In The Box is one of the few mix sets that encourages producers to delve deep into their crates and pick out some of their classic tracks, rather than just being a reflection of what they're playing at the moment. That's why in addition to the aforementioned Chicago house legends, there are a couple of tracks from the Sneak man himself, including his re-version of Loose Joints' "Is It All Over My Face."
