When I was young this interview with Juan was very inspiring, the way he worked before he rose to prominence resonated with me as I used some of the same techniques using tape decks, anyway it is a good read if you have not seen it.

Agreed, way too early, but what a catalogue of groundbreaking and innovative work he has left us with.

Thank you Juan.

Rest in Peace Legend Maestro. He was one of the first Detroit’s techno i saw Dj’ing in the 90s as Model 500. This is very shocking.

A couple of weeks ago his gig locally got cancelled due to health reasons. Derrick May played the same night in another club but the organizers planned a surprise visit to Juan’s party, I am wondering if that would have been the last time they see each other?

I assumed he would not have to continue elsewhere. Also thinking because a few other similar situations this year, how fucked up the music business has gotten that absolute legends have to keep on gigging at a fragile age to keep the bills paid.

Safe journey to the stars, maestro.

I bought the Deep Space album when it came out and rediscovered it a year ago. I was blown away by how fresh it still sounds. He was ahead of his time and pushed techno in all kinds of directions.

That was the first issue I got of a pro audio mag as a kid, and it was interviews like his that’s responsible for the room full of gear in my house.
