Juan Atkins has revived his Cybotron project for its first EP in 28 years. Maintain the Golden Ratio is out October 13 on Tresor. Listen to “Maintain” from the two-track EP below. The Belleville Three techno originator made the album with co-producer Laurens von Oswald; co-founder Rik Davis is not involved.
The project’s last release was Cyber Ghetto in 1995, though Atkins had split from the project more than a decade earlier. Their 1983 track “Clear” has since been sampled by Missy Elliott, for “Lose Control,” in 2005.
Read more about the “Clear” in Pitchfork’s “Early ’80s Disco” feature.
