Craft Recordings has announced the release of a 40th anniversary expanded reissue of Cybotron’s 1983 techno classic, Enter. Enter (Deluxe Edition) features the newly remastered original album paired with bonus material, including 12 previously unreleased digital tracks.
Among them are alternate mixes of tracks like “Techno City” and “Cosmic Cars” that were previously only available as 12” exclusives, plus a never-before-released remix of “Industrial Lies” by Jose “Animal” Diaz. The original 1983 mix of “Clear” also makes its digital debut as part of this collection.
Detroit’s Cybotron was founded in 1980 by Juan Atkins and Richard “3070” Davis. Atkins first came to prominence as a member of The Belleville Three (alongside Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson). Blending turntables with drum machines, synths, and multi-track mixers, The Belleville Three were instrumental in creating the sound of Detroit Techno, which served as an empowering force for independent Black artists and entrepreneurs.
In recent years, Cybotron was revived by Atkins and his new collaborator, Laurens von Oswald, who partnered on “The Golden Ratio (Version).”
