DOWNLOAD: Model 500 - Huesca
Model 500 inhabit the upper reaches of the techno pantheon. Once a pseudonym of genre pioneer Juan Atkins, the name now stands for a full-on Detroit supergroup, currently composed of Atkins, Underground Resistance's "Mad" Mike Banks, Mark Taylor, and DJ Skurge. The new incarnation has been performing live since 2007, but on Monday they'll finally release (with the help of another rejuvenated techno institution, R&S) the first original Model 500 material since 1999—a three-track single led by a-side "OFI". "Huesca" is on the flip, five minutes of liquid bass splatter and soaring string pads that sound simultaneously of-the-moment and aware of their own heritage. As if we expected anything else.
