Juan Atkins
Genre: Dance
Juan Atkins was one of the creators of techno music--the source of the group of genres lumped under the umbrella category of electronica--and was the first person to apply the word "techno" to music. He found new ways of making sound, and in so doing he influenced nearly every genre of music in the 1980s and beyond. Yet his name is not well known beyond the world of electronic dance music. He might, in fact, be one of the most obscure true pioneers of modern music.
