Widely credited as the originator of Detroit techno, and a shadowy but important figure in the birth of Chicago house, Atkins has featured prominently in the dance scene since the ’80s. After founding the Metroplex label in 1985, he began working as Model 500. In 2010, the label celebrated their 25th anniversary, and after 10 years away from the scene, Atkins released OFI (Objects Flying Identified) under the pseudonym.
