Review

Rolling Stone (2/4/99, p.61) - "...a DJ-mix CD that works as a pocket history of Motor City microchip music, explicitly admitting techno's evolution from Seventies European disco..."
Spin (1/99, pp.121-122) - 7 (out of 10) - "...If you'd rather ride the train than spot it, climb aboard MASTERMIX. Juan may not have aced his engineer's exam, but he usually knows where he's going."
Entertainment Weekly (1/15/99, p.63) - "...a beautiful, warts-and-all set of genre classics....smart liner notes provide some historical context, and the diverse mix belies techno's rep as monolithic. And oh, yeah: You can dance to it." - Rating: A-
The Wire (02/99, p.46) - "...MasterMix Volume 1 has a strange kind of authority - it feels like an important record."
CMJ (1/3/99, p.26) - "...fuses the pulse of old-school techno, house and electro into a unified, empowered urban discourse. Listen and learn..."
Vibe (2/99, p.139) - "...Detroit's own brand of mechanized assembly line funk....techno delicately balances electronics with soul..."

Title Note

Who else but the techno godfather could sum up the music's history efficiently in less than an hour? Beginning with two Detroit classics (his own "No UFOs" and Derrick May's "Nude Photo"), Juan Atkins plays connect-the-dots through garage and early house (Blaze, Martin Circus), minimalist techno (Rob Hood, Walt J) and the music's growing experimentalism during the mid-'90s (courtesy of Maurizio and his own Infiniti project). The mixing is much more raw than on a live Atkins date, perhaps a reaction to the dozens of seamless (read: overdubbed) mix albums already on the market. In any case, Wax Trax! Mastermix, Vol. 1 is an excellent trip through the annals of Detroit techno. ~ John Bush
