The Wizard was Techno legend Jeff Mill's DJ Moniker in the 80's and His weekend sets from that era on Detroit radio station WJLB are pretty legendary. I've been lucky enough to get my hands on one mix from '85 which is pretty ill, but this mix from '87 that someone posted on youtube is the bizness! No mp3's or tape edit machines here..just 4 technic turntables, some wax and nimble fingers. NAZZTEE!!!

HENRIK SCHWARTZ

HENRIK SCHARTZ MAKES THE MOST INTERESTING TECHNO/ELECTRONIC MUSIC WITH HEAVY JAZZ/SOULFUL INFLUENCE. ITS RARE THESE DAYS TO BE DIVERSE AMONG A SEA OF BANGING ELECTRO, AND GHB FUELED UP MUSIC. I LOVE THE VARIETY OF SYNTHS HENRIK USES WITH DEEP SOULFUL VOCALS ACCOMPANIED BY JAZZY PIANO RIFFS. LOVE IT

MODEL 500 - AKA JUAN ATKINS

At the dawn of the 1980s, Juan Atkins began recording what stands as perhaps the most influential body of work in the field of techno. Exploring his vision of a futuristic music which welded the more cosmic side of Parliament funk with rigid computer synth-pop embodied by Kraftwerk and the techno-futurist possibilities described by sociologist Alvin Toffler (author of The Third Wave and Future Shock), Atkins blurred his name behind aliases such as Cybotron, Model 500 and Infiniti — all, except for Cybotron, comprised solely of himself — to release many classics of sublime Detroit techno.
