About Cybotron
Artist Biography
Cybotron is a pioneering electro act led by Detroit techno originator Juan Atkins. Founded in 1980 by Atkins and Rick Davis, the duo created electronic machine funk influenced by Kraftwerk, George Clinton, Yellow Magic Orchestra, and new wave, as well as futurist literature such as Alvin Toffler's Future Shock and The Third Wave. Two self-issued singles preceded the group's signing to Fantasy, which released the widely influential, much-sampled classic "Clear" and the full-length Enter in 1983. Atkins then left Cybotron due to artistic differences, and launched the equally groundbreaking Model 500 in 1985. Davis remained active as Cybotron, issuing material into the 1990s. Decades later, Atkins formed a revamped Cybotron lineup and released Maintain the Golden Ratio in 2023.
