Juan Atkins is regarded as one of the founding fathers of techno and is a close friend and collaborator of Francois K. Like many forms of dance, electronic and hip hop music, techno was heavily influenced and inspired by Kraftwerk’s electronic acoustic innovations. Francois K is one of New York’s most legendary DJs and a long-time collaborator with Kraftwerk, having mixed their 1986 studio album,\u00a0Electric Cafe<\/em>\u00a0as well as remixes for several other tracks. \u00a0He was also behind many of New York’s most legendary parties such as Body&SOUL and Deep Space every Monday night at Cielo.<\/p>\n

On April 14 and 15 from 3:00\u20136:00pm, Juan Atkins and Francois K will draw inspiration from the\u00a0Kraftwerk – Retrospective 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8<\/a><\/em>\u00a0at MoMA and the special exhibition in the MoMA PS1 Performance Dome<\/a>\u00a0to create an interior and exterior sound-scape installation in the form of a music festival.
