Juan Atkins presents Infiniti
Under the moniker Infiniti, Juan Atkins, the original pioneer of Detroit techno, combines raw tactility with puristic elegance, shaping a biomorphic atmosphere of industrial soul. At just 15, Atkins purchased his first synthesiser, setting off a trajectory that would redefine electronic music. Alongside solo work as Model 500, and as part of the Belleville Three, Cybotron and Borderland, his influence remains foundational. Conceived as a vessel for ideas beyond fixed authorship or era, Infiniti channels Atkins' most abstract impulses into lean, forward-driving machine funk. Across two albums, The Infiniti Collection (1996) and Skynet (1998), both on Tresor, the project set out a future-facing vision of techno as science and spirit. Revived as a live project, Infiniti brings history into the present, not as nostalgia but as a living system.
