Celebrating twenty years of pioneering production and worldwide mix-master fame, the Godfather of Techno, Juan Atkins begins Om Record's first chapter in "Legends," the essential collection of innovators writing electronic music's history.

Along with the tracks made by two schoolmates from the grade below, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, Detroit Techno quickly made.
