should see release sometime around next spring, with the first single out by the end of 2011.

oh hellz yeah!

edit: it's

New material on Metroplex is also hypeworthy. Only 200 on vinyl and the rest digital. Lots has changed since 2004, I guess.

Juan Atkins!

"Juan Atkins will release a new Model 500 album in January 2015 called Digital Solutions.

Next year marks the 35th anniversary of Atkins's storied career, and he'll celebrate with a nine-track LP as Model 500. Though the project has been a collaborative affair in the live arena, with Mike Banks, DJ Skurge and Mark Taylor all contributing, Digital Solutions is a solo record from Atkins with some additional production work from Banks. It's the third Model 500 album, and the first in 16 years, following 1995's Deep Space and '99's Mind And Body, both of which came out on R&S Records.

Though it remained dormant for much of the '00s, Atkins resurrected Model 500 in 2010 with the OFI / Huesca EP for R&S—that was followed a couple of years later by another EP, Control. Digital Solutions will come out via Atkins's own label, Metroplex, which has remain sporadically active since 1985—recently they put out a record from the recently retired producer Terrence Dixon under his Population One alias.

A couple of live Model 500 dates are lined up for 2015, with a show at Winter Astropolis 20.5 in Brest in January followed by a performance at Unsound Adelaide on March 14th."
