Techno之书｜#01创世神Juan Atkins原作：Mark Petes-Varga编译：马海平/友好电波“那些跳舞的人，在听不见音乐的人眼里是疯子”—— 弗里德里希·尼采什么是Techno？这个问题，真的没有一个简单的答案。要用一个词或定义去概括Techno，几乎是不可能的。它究竟是什么？是用电子 合成器制作的四四拍舞曲吗？它是不是某种充满黑暗、反叛的地下文化的存在？还是那种只有在废弃的仓库、幽深的森林野外，或者是俱乐部人群中，才能真实体验到的氛围？我想，Techno的意义远不止这些。它的内涵远比一句简单的总结要深刻得多。作为一种音乐形式，Techno从最初在底特律的一个小房间里诞生，到今天已经成为全球无数地下舞池的灵魂。35年来，Techno深刻地影响并塑造了全球电子音乐的面貌。Techno并非一成不变。它经历了无数的变革、演变、融合、创新。然而，它的原始精神却从未改变。这种精神，如同电流在音符中流淌，依旧汹涌澎湃，贯穿至今。今天的我们，可能在不同的俱乐部、不同的城市中，感受到的是多种风格的融合。但每一次的舞池释放、每一次的节拍震动，背后依然藏着那份来自底特律的纯粹力量——那种反叛、自由、追求无限可能的精神。本期节目，我们将从最初的起点开始，带你深入揭开Techno的历史面纱，了解它的文化与演变。我们将打破关于Techno的种种误解与偏见，重新认识它的本质。因为，Techno不仅仅是声音的交响，它是一场跨越时间与空间的音乐革命。让我们一起踏上这段探索之旅，回到它的起源，追溯那份最初的力量。你将发现，Techno的魅力远远超出了人们的想象，它不仅仅是一种舞曲，更是一种改变世界的文化力量。而每一段动人的故事背后都有那些伟大的开创者。在Techno的历史长河中，底特律三杰无疑是最值得铭记的名字之一。如果你熟悉Techno，那么他们的名字早已回响在你耳边。如果你尚未接触过Techno，他们无疑是你进入这个伟大音乐运动的引路人。他们不仅塑造了Techno，也让这份力量超越了城市的边界，渗透进了全球无数电子音乐爱好者的灵魂。“如果没有他们，就不会有Techno。”Techno之书 第一章：Juan Atkins（开创者）今天我们要讲一个关于音乐传奇的故事，一个关于一切开始的故事，一个 Juan Atkins的故事——他不仅是底特律电子音乐的奠基人，更是现代电子音乐运动的开创者之一。Juan Atkins，生于1962年9月12日，来自底特律，一个并不起眼的工薪家庭。但是，从他在母亲子宫里的那一刻起，音乐就注定将与他一生紧密相连。Juan曾经回忆过：“我母亲告诉我，当她放某些歌曲时，我在她肚子里会有特别的反应。我只对那些喜欢的歌有反应。”从小生活在充满音乐氛围的家庭，Juan的父亲是一名本地理发师，同时也是一位经验丰富的中音萨克斯手。显然，音乐的基因在他的家庭中流淌着。Juan很早就接触到各类乐器，从低音吉他、电吉他到合成器，甚至是他祖母家那台古老的风琴。他说：“我从祖母那里获得了更多的音乐灵感。她有一台Hammond B3电风琴。每次我们去她家住时，她都会弹奏，主要是boogie-woogie风格。我常常在那台风琴旁边玩。” 正是这台风琴，让Juan第一次接触到声音合成技术。他意识到，电子乐器能创造出他能够想象的任何声音，而这种发现深深吸引了他，也为他日后的音乐生涯埋下了伏笔。随着年龄的增长，Juan的音乐热情愈加高涨。在十岁那年，他从父亲那里得到了一把吉他，并用自己的零花钱买下了第一张黑胶——Sly and The Family Stone的专辑。从那一刻开始，Juan的生活和音乐就紧密相连。青少年时期，Juan不仅在家里玩音乐，还和朋友们组建了Funk和Garage乐队，通过耳朵学会了弹奏各种乐器。他的才华被大家所认可，深受James Brown、P-Funk和Motown等经典乐队的影响，但很快，他的音乐旅程将迎来一场巨大的转变。正如Derrick May回忆的那样：“他是一位音乐人。从12岁开始，他的梦想就是成为一名音乐人，他知道自己最终会成为什么样的人。” 之后家庭出现了变故，在Juan的父亲被捕后，而这正是他音乐故事的转折点。Juan回忆道：“我们原本计划搬到加利福尼亚，但在最后一刻，我祖母打电话告诉我们：'他们在我这附近建了一座新房子。'祖母说服了父亲，最终我们决定留在底特律郊区。” 这个决定，不仅改变了他的生活，也改变了日后的故事 。正是在这座郊区新房子里，Juan的电子音乐之路开始启航。他的祖母全力支持他的音乐梦想，还为他购买了人生中的第一台合成器——Korg MS-10。这台合成器迅速迷住了Juan，他几乎每一天都在这台机器上练习，甚至发现了他可以操控白噪声，将其转化为鼓声。这一发现，彻底改变了他的创作方式，为他打开了全新的音乐世界。合成器瞬间成为了他创作的核心工具，Juan无论去哪里，都会带上它。他说：“合成器是这一切的催化剂。你从机器里听到的某些声音，会促使你去做某些事情。尤其是当你所有的节奏和打击乐都由这台机器做出来时。” 刚开始制作音乐时，Juan就利用这台合成器制作小军鼓、嗨帽声，所有的一切都通过滤波噪声、共鸣和调制来实现。这些看似简单的实验，逐渐构成了他独特的声音风格。随着时间的推移，Juan的音乐实验越发深入，他开始使用卡带机、混音台，并购买了自己的黑胶唱机。每一次新的尝试，都让他对电子音乐的热情更加强烈，逐渐形成了自己独特的音乐语言。贝尔维尔三杰，这个名字可能会让你联想到一个极具传奇色彩的组合——Juan Atkins、Derrick May 和 Kevin Saunderson。他们三人来自底特律郊区的一个小镇——贝尔维尔，一个看似平凡的地方，却成为了Techno的发源地。所以，贝尔维尔三杰这个名字，不仅仅代表着三位音乐天才的合作，也象征着底特律电子音乐的起源。Belleville Three: Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May和Juan Atkins那么，Juan Atkins和这两个未来的电子音乐传奇人物是如何走到一起的呢？其实，Juan是通过自己的弟弟Aaron认识了Kevin Saunderson和Derrick May。Kevin和Derrick比他小一到两岁，是他在高中时的同学。当时，Kevin和Derrick更多 地投入在体育活动上，而Juan则是一个安静、内向的学生，已经开始为自己的音乐事业打下基础。第一次见面时，Juan并没有展现出太多热情，然而，随着时间的推移，他们之间的友谊逐渐深化。值得一提的是，Juan Atkins对未来和科技的强烈兴趣，给了他无穷的创作灵感。他在高中时选修了一门课程——“未来学”（Future Studies），这门课的教材正是Alvin Toffler的《未来震撼》（Future Shock）。这本书讨论了快速变化的科技与社会变革如何让人类产生“未来震撼”的情感。Juan从中汲取了灵感，并将这种关于未来的思考注入到了他的音乐创作中。正是这种对技术和社会变革的兴趣，让他为电子音乐命名为“Techno”，因为在他看来，Techno正是技术和机器革命的产物。而实际上，Derrick May对此并不完全认同。Derrick May曾回忆道：“其实一开始我想把它叫做‘高科技灵魂'（High Tech Soul），我从来不喜欢‘Techno'这个名字。但最后没人同意，只好听大家的。”这个小插曲正好反映了三人之间的独特关系——他们虽然有不同的音乐观念，但却在共同的目标下，彼此互补，最终为世界带来了全新的音乐流派。Juan Atkins的音乐风格，深受德国电子实验乐队Kraftwerk、George Clinton的宇宙放克（Cosmic Funk）、Parliament Funkadelic以及底特律传奇电台DJ The Electrifying Mojo的影响。这些影响为他的音乐注入了创新和现代感，并且带来了更加深邃的音乐理念。Techno的诞生，就是这种多元文化的融合，它通过电子合成器和机器节奏，将技术与艺术、哲学与音乐结合，创造出了前所未有的声音。而在这个过程中，Juan不仅是音乐的探索者，他还成为了Derrick May的导师。两人之间的友谊，从一次国际象棋对局开始。当时，Derrick向Juan发起了挑战，却被Juan毫不留情地战胜。这场胜利不仅仅是一次简单的对局，更标志着他们首次深入讨论电子音乐的开始。自那时起，Juan成为了Derrick的导师，传授给他关于音乐、技术、甚至哲学的深刻理解。很快二人在当地的社区俱乐部开始打碟，并活跃在所谓的“高中派对场景”中，这些派对，主要是在一个名为“Deep Space”和另一个叫“Direct Drive”的派对之间展开竞争，场面火爆，观众们排长队，门票需要支付20到25美元，来的孩子们都为了寻找全新酷炫的音乐。正如Derrick May自己所说：“那些孩子们如果不喜欢一个DJ的 混音，根本不会跳舞。如果混音不对，或者DJ表现不行，他们就不会跳舞。Jeff Mills、我、Delano Smith、Mike Clark，我们都是从那个场景走出来的。我们在这个环境中长大，这就是今天我们所做一切的根源。”可以说，这个“高中场景”，不仅培养了他们的音乐风格，更塑造了他们对音乐的深刻理解。说到他们的“秘密武器”，不得不提那台Roland 808鼓机。这台机器对他们来说，简直是魔法般的存在。阿特金斯回忆：“我们带了一台808到派对上，为这台估计单独输出一轨来演奏节奏。”这台鼓机的加入，直接让现场气氛炸裂，观众们简直无法控制自己，而Direct Drive的对手们，则只能眼睁睁看着他们施展音乐“魔法”。808鼓机带来的声音，是那个时代前所未有的，也让他们的演出成为了一个无法被超越的标杆。Roland TR808 & TR 909鼓机我们说到的TR-808，TR-909鼓机，他们不仅仅是一个乐器，它在电子音乐历史上留下了不可磨灭的印记。它们帮助启动了一个全新的音乐运动——Techno，并为后来的酸性Acid House奠定了基础。其实，当时Derrick May遇到经济困难时，想将自己的一台TR-909鼓机卖掉，Jeff Mills知道后，想要以任何方式得到它，但Juan Atkins立刻劝他不要卖给Mills，因为那台909鼓机在技术上的优势，将转化为他们的竞争优势。所以，Derrick决定把这台909鼓机带到芝加哥，卖给了House音乐的教父——Frankie Knuckles。正是这场交易，间接促成了酸性Acid House的诞生。说回到Juan Atkins的创作，他不久后就称为了Cybotron乐队的创始人，这个组合的名字，至今在电子音乐界具有里程碑意义。高中毕业后，Juan 进入了Washtenaw县的社区大学，学习与电子音乐相关的技术。在那里，他遇到了同样是传奇DJ Electrifying Mojo粉丝和越战老兵Rick Davis。他们两人的合作，起初都是受到了对未来技术和电子音乐热情驱动。Juan曾回忆起第一次去Richard家中的情景：“我走进Rick的房间，简直被震撼到了。他有一台ARP Odyssey、ARP Axxe、Roland RS09弦乐合成器，还有一台早期的Roland Sequencer和Boss DR55鼓机。我只有我的小Korg MS10，当时简直觉得自己在进入一个外星飞船。” 这种视觉冲击和音效体验深深吸引了Atkins，他开始意识到，电子合成器不仅仅是工具，它们能创造出全新的声音世界。Juan Atkins也透露，这段时间他受到了Richard Davis的启发和引导，尤其是在音乐创作和商业运作方面。Juan说：“我想很多东西都与Rick的智慧和知识有关，他是一个非常聪明的人，比我大十岁，所以他对世界有更深的理解。他把哲学写进了歌曲里，他教会我许多东西，告诉我该注意什么，如何研究。” 这种跨越年龄和经验的合作关系，帮助Atkins从自学音乐制作的过程中，迈出了重要的一步。1983年，Cybotron发布了他们的首张专辑《ENTER》，并迅速成为底特律电子音乐的经典之作。这张专辑的音色和构思，充满了未来感、甚至带有某种超现实的氛围，正如Juan Atkins自己所说：“我一直觉得我们是比那个时代提前了20年。”Cybotron首张专辑《ENTER》专辑中的一些经典曲目，如《Cosmic Raindance》和《Dreammaker》，为电子音乐的早期发展带来了深远影响。但最具代表性的要属《Alleys of Your Mind》和《Clear》。展示了Cybotron无可替代的艺术视野。他回忆道，在创作过程中，Richard Davis给了他许多实用的音乐制作建议。他提到：“我读了很多书。其中一本书对我帮助最大，就是Richard推荐给我的，它叫《How To Make And Sell Your Own Record》。这本书几乎是独立唱片厂牌的教材，告诉你该如何一步步去做，如何制作专辑、如何销售，如何管理你的推广活动。” 这本书给了Juan Atkins建立自己的唱片公司——Deep Space Records的灵感，开启了他独立制作和发行音乐的事业。经过一段时间的合作，Cybotron不仅仅在底特律取得了巨大的成功，还受到了全球音乐爱好者的热烈追捧。1980年至1985年间，Atkins和Richard Day这对二人组发布了诸如《Clear》和《Cosmic Cars》等作品，这些都成为了电子音乐史上的永恒经典。随着时间的推移，Cybotron与Fantasy Records签约，并重新发行了他们的经典专辑《ENTER》，这也标志着他们的音乐进入了一个全新的阶段，开始在更广泛的领域内产生更大的影响。Cybotron的代表作之一，"Clear"，被广泛认为是电子音乐历史上的一座里程碑。这首几乎是纯电子的曲目，是Techno-pop与Electro的完美融合，为日后的Techno音乐风格定义了基础框架。它的未来感与实验性极强，几乎成为了电子音乐后来者的模板，也让Cybotron成为了那个时代最具创新性的音乐团体之一。然而，尽管他们的合作极大地改变了电子音乐的面貌，到了1985年，两人因对Cybotron未来方向和音乐理念的分歧而决定解散。尽管如此，Cybotron的影响力远超它的存在时长。作为Juan Atkins众多音乐身份之一，Cybotron无疑是最具影响力的，尤其对后来的Detroit音乐人和全球DJ们而言，Cybotron的声音仍然是灵感的源泉。它所创造出的外星音效至今无人能比，Cybotron的遗产依然历久弥新。尽管如此，Cybotron并未就此消失。经过了数十年的沉寂，Cybotron在2019年以audio visual演出的形式重新登上舞台，亮相于伦敦的Barbican文化中心，并且在巴塞罗那和阿姆斯特丹也举办巡演。新成员Laurens von Oswald与Tameko J. Williams的加入，使得这支传奇队伍焕发新生。2020年，Louis Vuitton Men's的创意总监Virgil Abloh和DJ Benji B也邀请Cybotron在Louis Vuitton 2020秋冬时装秀上进行现场表演。疫情过后，Cybotron在伦敦新开的The Beams仓库场地献上了一场震撼的现场演出，而2023年，Cybotron最终回到了他们的根源——底特律，并在Movement Festival上上演了他们的首次底特律演出。正如Mixmag的评价所说：“在2023年Movement Festival的周日晚，Juan Atkins与乐队新阵容庆祝了Cybotron的归来。这是他们的第六场现场演出，也是首度在底特律亮相。尽管演出中遇到了一些技术问题，但他们依然呈现了一场令人陶醉的表演，吸引了观众们驻足在主舞台，享受这一小时充满经典非洲未来主义的音乐，像《Clear》、《Cosmic Cars》和《Alleys Of Your Mind》这样的曲目，依旧光辉灿烂。”经过近30年的沉默，Juan Atkins于2023年发布了Cybotron的全新单曲**"Maintain The Golden Ratio"，这也是Cybotron自1985年后首度发布的新作品。而在2024年11月1日，"Parallel Shift”EP正式在德国厂牌Tresor发布，这张EP充满了科幻和未来感，正如Juan Atkins与Laurens von Oswald共同创作的这三首曲目所展现的那样——它们是对未来军事科技、超越时空的世界的探讨，同时也象征着人类意识和技术的深刻交融。Juan Atkins曾说：“Cybotron的名字随着时间的推移，已经成为了一种文化符号。”而如今，Cybotron以一种全新的方式继续吸引着全球的听众和音乐爱好者——这不仅是过去的回忆，更是未来的启示。尽管Cybotron的音乐显然更接近Electro风格，但它为Techno的诞生奠定了基础。随着Cybotron的解散，Juan Atkins并没有停下脚步，反而在1985年迅速转向个人音乐创作，并以Model 500的名义开始了自己的独立生涯。就在同一年，他成立了自己的传奇唱片公司——Metroplex Records，这也是他音乐事业的一个重要转折点。80年代中期Juan Atkins在工作室在那段创作时期，Juan Atkins几乎将自己锁在了房间里，专注于音乐创作，不允许任何人打扰。正如他自己所说：“我把自己锁在房间里，直到新专辑完成。我在那段时间里几乎没有离开过那间房，完全沉浸在创作中。”这种孤注一掷的创作态度，最终收获了巨大的回报。作为Model 500，他开始发布一系列经典的Techno作品，如《No UFO's》和《Night Drive》，以及1995年的专辑《Deep Space》。这一时期，他不仅发布了大量的专辑、EP和混音，还与比利时的R&S Records以及德国的Tresor等重要厂牌展开了合作。Juan Atkins回忆道：“当我在1985年2月或3月创办Metroplex厂牌并发布《No UFOs》时，我以为自己只是想回本，但最后销量竟达到了10,000到15,000张。”这一成功不仅证明了他对音乐市场的独特洞察力，也标志着Juan Atkins正式迈入了Techno音乐的世界，并为这个音乐流派带来了全球的关注。值得一提的是，Juan Atkins与Derrick May之间的友谊，对于两位传奇人物来说都是至关重要的。Derrick May几乎从Juan Atkins那里学到了所有关于音乐制作的技巧，而作为回报，Derrick则利用自己在芝加哥的资源，帮助Juan Atkins将他的音乐推广到底特律以外的世界。Derrick May曾这样回忆他们的友谊：“我基本上就像是他的门徒。他不让我做任何事，只让我坐着看。他是我的推广人，也是我的拉拉队员。我会四处去支持他，甚至亲自带着《Alleys of Your Mind》的首批45转唱片去唱片店，试图让它们播放给所有人听。”在Metroplex成立初期，Juan Atkins不仅专注于自己的创作，还通过自己的努力帮助了许多音乐人，包括Farley Jackmaster Funk，这是一位之后对house音乐史上的影响深远的音乐人。Atkins回忆道：“当我开始做Metroplex时，我把我最早的几张唱片带到芝加哥，其中就有《No UFO's》。我把这张唱片给了Farley Jackmaster Funk，他在芝加哥把这张唱片炒了起来，甚至让它比底特律还要火爆。” 这段话揭示了底特律与芝加哥之间的早期联系，虽然当时芝加哥还没有House音乐的出现，Derrick May和Juan Atkins等人开始将底特律的声音带到芝加哥，推动了这两个城市的电子音乐的交汇和发展。Juan Atkins继续说道：“那时芝加哥虽然已经有House音乐的雏形，但还没有House音乐，没人做 音乐。Derrick去到芝加哥，把我的唱片带给了Jesse Saunders，他几乎是做出第一张House唱片的人，还有Chip E这些人，他们开始在和Metroplex的同一时期里做出自己的唱片。可以说，形成了一种底特律和芝加哥之间的音乐场景交流。”Metroplex厂牌logo有了这一切的合作与交流，Atkins在Deep Space Soundworks的朋友们的帮助下，在底特律市中心创办了他们自己的俱乐部——Music Institute。正是在这里，贝尔维尔三杰成为了常驻DJ，并帮助了许多新兴的底特律Techno艺术家开启了职业生涯。这个俱乐部不仅是底特律Techno的发源地之一，更为后来被称为第二波底特律Techno的兴起铺平了道路。随着音乐的传播和影响力的扩展，Juan Atkins开始了全球巡演，尤其是在欧洲，征服了整个英国并启发/指导了一些英国的电子乐队如 '808 State'，他跨越英吉利海峡巡演——在法国、荷兰、瑞典以及传奇的柏林Tresor地下俱乐部演出。Juan Atkins回忆道：“我的风格就是Juan Atkins，我认为当人们预定我演出时，他们想要的就是我，他们想要的就是Juan Atkins。”Juan Atkins在Tresor表演特别是在德国，他第一次登上Tresor俱乐部的舞台后，他就成为了底特律和柏林联盟的奠基人之一。随着他与Tresor俱乐部创始人Dimitri Hegemann的深厚友谊，让Juan Atkins和底特律的声音成为了Tresor的代名词，成为了90年代初期Tresor的标志之一。在柏林的日子不仅让他成为了Tresor的常驻表演者，他还在那段时间与其他音乐人建立了重要的联系。在1990年代初期，一群来自柏林的音乐制作人开始频繁前往底特律，他们的目标很明确：购买大量的模拟合成器设备。经过一番搜索，这些设备被带回柏林，并且被重新改装，加装了早期的MIDI接口技术，虽然那时MIDI技术还没有广泛普及。Juan Atkins在2017年接受采访时回忆道：“那时，我和Mike Banks住在同一栋楼。有一天，Mike敲响我的门，告诉我‘嘿，这里有些来自柏林的人想见你'。然后是Mark、Moritz，还有可能是Thomas Fehlmann。他们说我们应该一起做音乐并去柏林演出，我就答应了邀请。我从未去过欧洲大陆，应该是1991年左右吧。所以，他安排了巡演 ，费用是通过在Tresor的演出费和我们以3MB名义发布的EP来支付的。”他们几个人因此组建了3MB feat. Magic Juan Atkins，要理解3MB的意义，你必须了解Tresor这个柏林俱乐部，它后来发展成了一个厂牌，成功将第二波底特律Techno的音乐人和作品带到了仍然处于柏林墙倒塌后动荡中的这座城市。底特律黑人的音乐找到了它在柏林的第二个家，而柏林的荒凉失去秩序的边缘感正与底特律的工业衰退历史不谋而合。你可以在Cybotron和Model 500的开创性作品中可以听到Juan Atkins那无与伦比的合成旋律；Moritz von Oswald对低音的偏爱，以及他对Dub音乐中Echo效果器的开创性实验；再加上Fehlmann的环境质感营造，这三种截然不同的电子音乐视角在Tresor风格的Techno的快速节奏下碰撞融合，最终形成了独特的音乐火花。他们的专辑展示了Techno是一个包容多元化的电子音乐品类。这种开放的音乐理念与今天已经偏向商业化的Techno大相径庭。3MB feat. Magic Juan Atkins，作为Tresor厂牌30周年庆典的一部分被重新发行，成为了这个柏林厂牌早期合作力量的巅峰之作。3MB的故事也在继续， 2024年5月，Tresor重新发行了他们在2017年的一张专辑,这张名为《Angles》的专辑包括两首曲目，其中《Concave 1》给人一种短小而深沉的感觉，低音线条伴随着回环的Dub和弦，在不同的衰退结构中游走。而第二首曲目《Concave 2》时长接近十分钟，感觉更温暖、更有机，充满了层次感和生命力。这张专辑再次证明了两位音乐家之间的合作是Techno历史上不可忽视的一部分。这种跨越大西洋的音乐对话，不仅塑造了柏林的Techno，也进一步加深了底特律与柏林之间的紧密联系。欢迎来到底特律TECHNO之城，诞生于1701年。尽管Juan接到了无数的合作邀请，并且被兴奋所淹没，他始终清楚一点：无论他在国外待多久，他都永远不会离开家乡——他出生并成长的地方“汽车城”底特律，他的家人至今仍然住在那里。而且，谈到电子音乐以及创作的源泉，底特律这座城市有着无与伦比氛围。他曾经说过“我拥有这种艺术天赋的责任之一，就是让人们听到它，并且能够参与其中。” 就像所有的天才一样，他总是走在时代前面，然而令人遗憾的是，底特律并不总是那么宽容地接纳他音乐。今天我们所称之为的Techno，在欧洲成为了巨大的文化现象，像野火一样蔓延开来，然而在美国，却几乎无人关注。Juan Atkins回忆道“我觉得我们在欧洲，尤其是在英国，得到了认可，而在全球范围内，逐渐产生了影响……而你怎么可能来自一个美国城市，那里这么少的人知道你在做什么？”尽管底特律起初未能理解这位先知的声音，但全世界都已悄然聆听，电子音乐的种子在世界的每个角落生根发芽。“Juan Atkins无论从哪个角度看，他都在音乐产业中留下了深刻的印记。”而他那习惯隐藏在化名背后的做法，也暴露了一个重要的细节：他不在乎追逐那种如今许多艺术家都渴望的“名声”。但如果说谁应该被称为科技音乐的教父，那无疑是他。正是因为他的存在，才为未来一代音乐人铺平了道路，让电子音乐走向了全新的面貌。2000年代初期，Juan Atkins依旧活跃在音乐圈，并且与许多杰出的艺术家合作——包括Moritz von Oswald、Kimyon Huggins和Orlando Voorn。他们的合作让一些经典之作诞生了，比如《Borderland》和《Mind Merge LP》。这些作品，无疑是那个时代的电子音乐的风向标。2002年，他发布了一张名为《Classics》的专辑。这是一张回顾性的作品，融合了他在Metroplex厂牌下的经典曲目，甚至还收录了No Ufo's的特别版remix，以及《Ocean to Ocean》和《Night Drive》这样的经典之作。然而，在这段时间里，Juan的生活却不那么顺利。他开始依赖酒精与其他物质，生活变得一团糟，连与家人的关系都开始破裂。更糟的是，他还被诊断出患有2型糖尿病，这一病情差点让他丧命。他回忆说“有一天我醒来，眼前一片模糊，几乎看不见自己手上的东西。我去看了医生，结果他们告诉我，血糖已经飙升到1200。我不知道英国是怎么规定的，但在美国，正常的范围应该是100到150。医生说，‘我们很惊讶你还能走路。'他们不得不给我打五瓶生理盐水，才把血糖拉下来，之后还给我打了几针胰岛素。”这些年里的低谷，几乎改变了Juan的一切。生活方式的改变，增重后的自律，使他逐渐恢复健康，而更重要的是，他重新找回了曾经的音乐激情。到了2005年，他迎来了音乐生涯的新高峰，他在Tresor发布了专辑《The Berlin Sessions》，并且同时推出了纪念Metroplex厂牌的双碟专辑《Metroplex 20 Years 1985-2005》。这两张专辑中，尤其有一首歌曲令人着迷——《Dreammaker》。这首曲目是他早期的Cybotron作品之一，从未发布，听上去有点像《Cosmic Raindance》，而且使用的还是那个经典的DR55鼓机。2006年，他在纪录片《High Tech Soul》中亮相，讲述了底特律Techno的起源与发展。之后他还与底特律三杰——Derrick May、Kevin Saunderson、以及Dimitri Hegemann,Richie Hawtin和Jeff Mills 一起，出现在2022年的纪录片《God Said Give 'Em Drum Machines》中。而在2007年，Model 500首次亮相底特律Movement电子音乐节（DEMF），现场反响热烈。2010年，Juan与R&S Records合作，发布了单曲《OFI》和《Huesca》。这张单曲，承接了他以往的音乐精髓，并且为他后来的音乐发展提供了新的方向。而在2012年，他又带来了专辑《Control》，这张专辑如同对他过往的一次总结。2013年，见证了两位音乐天才Juan Atkins与Moritz von Oswald的又一次重要合作，这次合作最终成就了一张名为《Borderland》的专辑。Moritz von Oswald和Juan Atkins(摄影：Jack Johnstone)来自柏林的电音媒体Resident Advisor报道“梦之组合的定义莫过于此。Juan Atkins和Moritz von Oswald这两位艺术家，完美诠释了底特律与柏林音乐轴心精髓。虽然他们之前有过合作，但《Borderland》是他们的第一张正式合作专辑。这张专辑是在今年年初在柏林录制的，它大大偏离了传统的Techno音乐，而是更倾向于Moritz von Oswald三重奏那种温暖、即兴的风格。融合了爵士的流动宁静与Dub的深沉共鸣，《Borderland》是一场放松的音乐体验，旨在通过柔和的低音线条营造烟雾般的氛围，引导听者进入一种深沉的恍惚状态。”专辑由8首曲子组成，完美融合了两位大师的风格。这些作品是在2013年初的柏林多个录音室中完成的，随后以三张12寸黑胶和一张CD的形式发布。2015年，Juan Atkins通过自己的Metroplex厂牌带来了他时隔16年的第一张Model 500专辑——《Digital Solutions》，这张专辑就像一部Techno音乐的时光机，带我们回到了那个曾经的黄金时代，同时也让我们看到这位艺术家如何在过去的经典与未来的黑暗之间游走。“《Digital Solutions》像是一套铝箔太空服，既闪亮又老派。”这句话是由Resident Advisor的乐评人Paul Clarke写的，他提到，虽然专辑的制作非常精致，但它的未来感却显得有些过时。就像科幻电影一样，曾经的未来充满了《星际迷航》那种乐观的空间梦想，而现在的《异形》却是充满了冰冷与压迫感。在他的音乐里，我们仿佛也能听到这种变化——从他过去的明亮科技梦，到今天更阴暗、更多层次的声音。这张专辑，大部分的声音都像极了他早期作品《No UFO's》那种硬朗的电子质感，甚至比他的1999年专辑《Mind And Body》还要复古——它抛开了那些灵魂与科技的融合，回到了1980年代中期那种纯粹的机器人Funk风格。记得《Night Drive (Thru-Babylon)》吗？如果你听《Control》，你会发现它像是从那首歌中分出来的兄弟。但这不是坏事，反而是好事。毕竟，很多艺术家一生都在努力复制Model 500的经典声音，而Juan Atkins自己做到了，且做得相当成功。专辑中有一首叫做《Encounter》，它的低频震动让人感受到作者与低音电子音乐风格之间的微妙联系，但最令人印象深刻的，还是它那富有电影感的弦乐与细腻的层次感，让人不禁回想起《Urban Tropics》那样的经典之作。而另一首“Hi-NRG”，则带给人强烈的Galaxy II Galaxy风格，让我们再次看到底特律先锋音乐的深度和广度。还有《The Groove》中的吉他独奏——那段旋律让你完全忘了自己听的是一张电子专辑，而更像是在听一个摇滚吉他手在舞台上狂放不羁的演出。Juan Atkins显然是在用这种方式告诉我们：他虽然已经不再年轻，但他依然能在怀旧的旋律中为我们带来不一样的体验。”“我不是为了钱做这件事。我是为了对艺术的热爱。”这样说道。有一次，他被问到，是否为自己创造的音乐流派——Techno的发展感到骄傲。他的回答很直接：“现在的Techno吗？对我来说，它更多的是一个市场营销的概念，我已经不再适应这种方向了。”他说，每个硬币都有两面，他并不批评那些选择了商业化道路的人，只是他永远无法去演奏那种类型的音乐——EDM和所谓的“商业Techno”。他的这番话，透露出一种他对音乐的坚定与热爱。尽管现在的电子音乐世界变化万千，但他坚信，音乐不应仅仅是为了迎合市场的需求，更应该是对艺术的真实表达。然而，他并没有一直顺风顺水。2015年，命运给了他一个巨大的挑战——他因严重的健康问题被迫取消了几场国际演出。实际上，他一直在与肾脏衰竭作斗争，这一切源自于他多年来的糖尿病。他在一份公开声明中向粉丝们道歉，表示：“过去几个月，我一直有严重的健康问题，这些问题现在让我无法继续巡演。我正在努力在未来几个月解决这些问题。我很难过不能去澳大利亚，但我希望不久后能回来。”但是，生活就是这样，不会轻易让你放弃你热爱的东西。即便在最艰难的时刻，Juan Atkins依然没有停止过对音乐的热情。为了继续他的音乐之旅，他甚至带着必需的设备进行腹膜透析治疗。在短暂的恢复后，他重新回到了舞台，继续在柏林、伦敦、梅德林和多伦多等地演出。“没有套路的公式，这里只有声音。这就是我感受到的、我听到的。无论我受到的影响来自哪里，可能来自我在母亲肚子里听到的那些声音。那些 生命中听到的所有挫折与变化，都反映在我的音乐里。”这就是世界上第一个Techno音乐人Juan Atkins的故事，他的故事还在继续！©️版权声明 “Techno之书”系列节目（包括音频，视频和文稿）版权归马海平、友好电波与 Mark Petes-Varga 所有。非商业用途可在注明出处的前提下分享与引用，但禁止任何形式的商业使用，未经授权的商业使用将依法追究责任。Track-List01.Cybotron -

The future of driving just took another step away from… driving. BMW is bringing brake-by-wire to production—ditching traditional hydraulic systems in favor of fully electronic control. It's a big leap forward in technology, but also raises a bigger question: are we slowly being disconnected from the driving experience altogether? EV drivers already rely heavily on regen braking—so does this even matter anymore, or is this the tipping point? Meanwhile, Lucid just dropped a $1B loss, proving once again that building high-end EVs isn't for the faint of heart (or wallet). Backed by Saudi funding, they're not going anywhere—but can the next wave, like the Rivian R2, finally deliver the EV breakthrough the market actually needs? On a more hopeful note, Nissan might be back. A new Skyline is on the horizon, and somehow Infiniti could be the one bringing back a proper manual sports sedan. Is this the comeback enthusiasts have been waiting for? And speaking of performance—how fast is fast enough? Dan shares his run at 193 mph in a GT-R, still chasing that elusive 200 mph club.

A $5,500 Cadillac Fleetwood. A $39,900 Pontiac Catalina convertible. A clean 2007 GMC bringing nearly $20K. We jump into the week's most eyebrow-raising Hemmings sold results and talk through what those numbers say about the collector car market right now, from big-body comfort cruisers to classics that keep climbing. If you've been wondering what your project is really worth or what it'll cost to buy your next toy, these comps are the kind of reality check you can actually use.Then we get into the bigger automotive news story that's starting to feel real again: sedans. With average new car transaction prices pushing past $50,000 and fuel economy rules reshaping how vehicles are categorized, automakers are looking hard at the “underserved” car buyer. We talk GM rumors of a Buick sedan tied to the next Cadillac CT5 and Chevy Camaro platform, Stellantis floating a new car under $30K, Ford's “never say never” posture, and even Infiniti and Mitsubishi signaling a return to four-door options. We also bring it home with the day-to-day side of the debate: do you truly need an SUV, or do you just need a smart, comfortable sedan?We wrap with our Texas cruise-in and events calendar, plus a blunt look at why dealership service departments are losing ground to quick lube shops, even when some newer vehicles come with “free” maintenance.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1321: Sedans eye a comeback as affordability bites, tax refunds rise but don't fully convert to sales, and a $2K stripped Tesla proves EV durability in the wildest way possible.Show Notes with links:https://www.autonews.com/manufacturing/automakers/an-general-motors-sedan-strategy-0419/#After years of getting crowded out by crossovers, sedans are quietly making a return. Rising prices, shifting regulations, and a hunger for something different have automakers reconsidering the segment many left for dead.Automakers like GM, Stellantis, and Infiniti are exploring new sedan entries, some targeting sub-$30K price points to win back budget-conscious buyers.Sedans are gaining traction again, with Camry, Accord, and K5 posting double-digit sales increases while some crossovers lose share.With average vehicle prices over $50K, sedans offer a more affordable alternative and fill an underserved gap in the market.Design fatigue is real—executives say SUVs are getting “boring,” while sedans offer more room for style and brand differentiation.“There's opportunity for sedans to nibble into utility vehicles,” said S&P's Stephanie Brinley.https://news.dealershipguy.com/p/https-news-dealershipguy-com-p-first-tax-season-under-one-big-beautiful-bill-ends-refunds-up-11The first tax season under the “One Big Beautiful Bill” brought bigger refunds—but not a clean win for dealers. Higher cash in pockets met higher costs at the pump and on loans, creating a mixed bag on showroom floors.Average refunds jumped 11% to $3,462, with total payouts up 14.5%, boosted by new deductions, credits, and no tax on tips or overtime.Dealers saw uneven results—some stores surged, others lagged—as gas prices topped $4 and interest rates stayed elevated.Used market demand leaned toward “near-new” value buys, as shoppers stretched dollars against $50K new-vehicle pricing.Subprime activity ticked up, but down payments shrank, signaling affordability pressure despite larger refunds.“If the war ends…we could see a monster Q4 in '26,” said Potamkin CEO Cole Potamkin.https://electrek.co/2026/04/18/youtuber-buys-stripped-tesla-model-3-go-kart-2000-212-miles-range/YouTuber, Remmy Evans, bought a completely stripped Tesla Model 3 for $2,000—and drove it like a go-kart. Somehow, the battery and motors didn't get the memo.The car had no body panels, windshield, or seatbelts—just the core EV components—and still showed 212 miles of range.Despite 78 error codes and missing safety systems, it was driven on public roads, drifted, off-roaded, and even jumped.Charging proved tricky, with hacked adapters and slow Level 2 charging due to software limitations.Tesla's software may eventually restrict functionality as it detects missing components, highlighting challenges for rebuilders.The big takeaway: EV drivetrains are incredibly durable—even when everything else is gone.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

The final season of "The Handmaid's Tale" wrapped less than a year ago, yet here we are, back inside Gilead. "The Testaments," Hulu's spinoff series based on Margaret Atwood's second novel of the same name, takes viewers several years past the events of the final season. The red cloaks of handmaids are nowhere to be seen. Instead, we follow Plum Girls and Pearl Girls as a new generation of young women navigates this dystopian future, in a show starring Chase Infiniti as Agnes MacKenzie/Hannah Bankole. Infiniti is coming off her starring performance in the Oscar-winning "One Battle After Another." In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller talks with Mattea Conforti (Becka Grove) and Rowan Blanchard (Shunammite), two of the new cast members, who share their thoughts on the current and former series. Additionally, co-host Terry Lipshetz shares his thoughts on the new seasons of "For All Mankind" and "Shrinking," the new film "Project Hail Mary," and AMC's switch from the annual popcorn bucket to its new Popcorn Pass. About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is the retired editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin. The show was named Best Podcast in the 2025 Iowa Better Newspaper Contest. Theme music Thunder City by Lunareh, used under license from Soundstripe. YouTube clearance: FV694ULMCJQDG0IY

Luxury vehicle makers have a way of upping the ante, with features that seem more and more unique, opulent and, perhaps, unnecessary.When INFINITI recently unveiled its newest QX65 SUV, it led with the vehicle's unorthodox paint color: dubbed Sunfire Red, this coating is described by the company as “something people will remember.”That's because the rich paint hue, inspired by a "fiery morning sunrise” is said to be “infused with real gold-coated glass flecks.”INFINITI's design team described the requirements of working with this very special paint, noting that INFINITI's supplier must use armored trucks when transporting the gold that's used in the making of Sunfire Red. #Infiniti #LuxuryCars #AutomotiveDesign #CarInnovation #LuxurySUV #CarPaint #AutoIndustry #Manufacturing #AIinManufacturing #FutureOfCars #CarTech #PremiumVehicles #AutomotiveNews #DesignInnovation #CarLovers #LuxuryLifestyle #MadeInUSA #SmartManufacturing #AutoTrends #VehicleDesign

No donuts today as Jill isn't feeling well (listen to her voice) and Tom says he's on a diet. The hosts open the show by discussing big Toyota news: The Highlander is going EV only for 2027. Listen in for Jill and Tom's take on this announcement. Also discussed is Jeep's new lower-cost V8 Wrangler model. Next, Tom shares a brief take on the very-affordable Chevrolet Trax in topline Activ trim. Should entry-level shoppers take a look at Chevy's least-expensive model? Listen in. Still in the first segment, the hosts co-review the sporty Alfa Romeo Stelvio Intensa small crossover. Jill and Tom agree that there is a lot here to like here, though the very-engaging Italian model is not without its compromises. In the second segment, Jill and Tom are joined by Evan Frank, Seat Engineering Manager for Nissan. Evan explains why denim especially is so tough on car and truck seats, and how Infiniti has been using a jeans-clad robot to test vehicle seats for long-term wear resistance. It's a great conversation. In the final segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's "Even More Spelling" quiz, plus, the duo discusses Cadillac's surprising commitment to electric vehicles, and a North American Car of the Year/Society of Automotive Engineers-sponsored scholarship program.

Today's episode covers a bizarre $12,000 Hyundai repair caused by spilled water, how California police uncovered high‑tech key‑fob relay thefts, and Nissan's recall of 42,000 Sentras for bubbled windshields. We also road‑test the 2026 Nissan Leaf (surprising real‑world range and features), get Infiniti's winter driving tips, review the VueRoid S1 dashcam, and share maintenance advice for diesel trucks and classic‑car musings.

Tom opens the show by recapping briefly his time in the Lucid Air Touring electric luxury sedan. Tom is impressed by the Lucid, but does have one (big) complaint. The hosts go on to discuss rumors that Tesla will be ADDING the Apple CarPlay feature to some or all of its models in the near future. A huge new Honda recall will affect the owners of certain late-model Civics. Listen in for details. Jill and Tom chat briefly about Ford making Blue Advantage certified preowned vehicles available on Amazon. Still in the first segment, Jill shares her impressions of the 2027 Kia Telluride midsize crossover, a clay model of which she recently checked out. In the second segment, the hosts welcome Tiago Castro, Vice President of Infiniti of the Americas, to the podcast. Tiago walks Tom and Jill through the luxury carmaker's plans for the near- and midterm, focusing on new-product opportunities. In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's “Was it a Nissan?” quiz, and Jill reviews the all-new Polestar 4 crossover coupe. 

Quizás el título podría ser menos duro, algo así como “marcas que PUEDEN desaparecer...y A LO PEOR es que se lo merecen”. Porque en la jungla del automóvil, la historia no te salva. Algunas marcas, por sus errores, su soberbia o su incapacidad para ver el futuro, parece que están cavando su propia tumba. Y hoy te vamos a decir cuáles y por qué… y esperamos equivocarnos. 1. Aston Martin. Propietario: Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings plc (Consorcio de inversores). País: Reino Unido. ¿Por qué se lo merece? Porque parece que no aprende. Ha sido rescatada una y otra vez por inversores que se enamoran del nombre, pero la gestión sigue siendo un pozo sin fondo. Queman dinero a un ritmo alarmante, la deuda es gigantesca y su plan de electrificación ha sido errático. 2. Chrysler. Propietario: Stellantis. País: Estados Unidos. ¿Por qué merece desaparecer? Por abandono de funciones. Una marca no puede sobrevivir sin coches que vender. La han dejado morir lentamente, sin darle nuevos modelos. Ahora prometen un futuro eléctrico con concepts como el Halcyon, pero es muy poco y llega muy tarde. Su final será el resultado de décadas de negligencia corporativa. 3. DS Automobiles. Propietario: Stellantis. País: Francia. ¿Por qué se merece desaparecer? Porque el consumidor no es tonto. DS no ofrece una tecnología propia, ni plataformas exclusivas, ni una experiencia que justifique su sobreprecio. Es un intento de "quiero y no puedo" que el mercado jamás ha comprado. 4. Fisker. Propietario: Fisker Inc. (En bancarrota). País: Estados Unidos. ¿Por qué merece desaparecer? No puedes lanzar un producto a medio hacer y esperar que la gente pague por ser tu beta tester. Ahora, la empresa está en bancarrota, los coches pierden su valor a un ritmo vertiginoso y los propietarios están abandonados. Es la crónica de una muerte anunciada. 5. Infinity. Propietario: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. País: Japón. ¿Por qué merece estar en esta lista? Por pura negligencia. Nissan nunca supo o nunca quiso invertir de verdad en Infiniti para hacerla competitiva a nivel global. La abandonó a su suerte. Se retiraron de Europa en 2020 sin hacer ruido y en su mercado principal, Estados Unidos, sus ventas son irrelevantes. Ahora dicen que se van a centrar en SUVs eléctricos. Infiniti es la prueba de que, si no cuidas tu marca, se marchita y desaparece sin que nadie la eche de menos. 6. Jaguar. Propietario: Tata Motors (a través de Jaguar Land Rover). País: Reino Unido / India. ¿Por qué merece desaparecer? Su campaña de "rebranding" fue un ejercicio de egolatría sin enseñar un solo coche. Han enfadado a sus clientes fieles y han desaparecido del mapa. Esta apuesta de "todo o nada" es de una arrogancia sin límites. Si los nuevos eléctricos, que serán carísimos, no son un éxito absoluto, Jaguar no tendrá nada a lo que recurrir. Y será una gran pérdida para todos los aficionados. 7. Lancia. Propietario: Stellantis. País: Italia. Se merece estar en esta lista por el abandono y el maltrato al que ha sido sometida por sus propio dueños. 8. Lucid Motors. Propietario: Lucid Group, Inc. (Principal accionista: Fondo de Inversión Pública de Arabia Saudí). País: Estados Unidos / Arabia Saudí. ¿Por qué merece desaparecer? Porque su supervivencia depende exclusivamente del dinero del fondo soberano de Arabia Saudí. No es una empresa viable por sí misma. Su producción es mínima y no hace más que quemar miles de millones. Es una empresa artificialmente sostenida que demuestra que un buen producto no es suficiente sin un plan de negocio realista. 9. SEAT. Propietario: Grupo Volkswagen. País: España / Alemania. ¿Por qué es un final merecido? Porque, estratégicamente, Volkswagen decidió que no había sitio para SEAT, a medio camino entre Skoda y la propia Volkswagen. En lugar de potenciarla, crearon Cupra para quedarse con la parte más rentable del pastel: los coches más aspiracionales. Han canibalizado a la madre para alimentar a la hija. 10. Wey / Ora. Propietario: Great Wall Motor (GWM). País: China. Merecen estar aquí como representantes de la arrogancia de algunos fabricantes chinos, que pensaban que llegar a Europa era un camino de rosas. El mercado europeo es maduro y muy competitivo. No basta con hacer un coche aceptable; necesitas una estrategia de precios, de marca y de postventa sólida. Muchas de estas nuevas marcas desaparecerán de nuestro mercado tan rápido como llegaron. Conclusión. La industria está en un punto de inflexión brutal, y la arrogancia, la falta de visión o la mala gestión son pecados capitales. Estas diez marcas son la prueba de que en este negocio no se vive del pasado, sino de la capacidad de acertar con el futuro.

This week we're excited to present a conversation with Paul Thomas Anderson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Teyana Taylor, Regina Hall, and Chase Infiniti as they discuss their hit film One Battle After Another, which was recently presented on 70mm at our Walter Reade Theater. This conversation was moderated by NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim. In One Battle After Another, washed-up revolutionary Bob (Leonardo DiCaprio) exists in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited, self-reliant daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti). When his evil nemesis resurfaces after 16 years and Bob's daughter goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her, father and daughter both battling the consequences of his past. Paul Thomas Anderson's most viscerally thrilling film to date is a total blast, an epic, comic adventure of the weird new America that spans years and stretches from across the treacherous rolling-hill highways of the southwest and beyond. Inspired by Thomas Pynchon's Vineland, but with a flavor and cinematic rush that's pure PTA, One Battle After Another is an exhilarating, ultimately moving portrait of undying commitment to family amidst the mania of our contemporary world One Battle After Another is now in theaters.

Katey reunites with her former Little Gold Men co-host Richard Lawson to look back at the highlights of this year's New York Film Festival, including Bradley Cooper's late-breaking contender Is This Thing On? and a memorable night of people-watching at the Polo Lounge. Then One Battle After Another breakout star Chase Infiniti joins to talk about how she convinces Leo and PTA to participate in TikToks, how she learned to let loose on the film's set, and who she's taking advice from now that she's a truly minted movie star.

BrownTown chops it up with Kiara Hardin and Infiniti Gant, multifaceted organizers with the Obama Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) coalition. Ten years since the announcement of the Obama Presidential Center (OPC) on Chicago's South Side and five years since the passing of the Woodlawn Ordinance that ensured housing protections for some residents, the coalition has continued to organize to ensure affordable housing for more area residents, including and specifically South Shore. The gang compares and contrasts the political moment and opportunities from summer 2020, in the midst of the uprisings, to fall 2025 under a Brandon Johnson Mayoral Administration with a backdrop of a fascist takeover on the federal level. They end with a discussion on the interpersonal nature of community organizing at its root in relation to de-pedestalizing politicians in order to circumvent power to the people because when we fight, we win! Originally recorded September 10, 2025. GUESTSKiara Hardin is a dynamic project manager and organizational strategist with a passion for creative, collaborative solutions that center the needs and priorities of the Black community.
