Detroit techno producer Terrence Dixon released a considerable quantity of material under his birth name and used Population One for other releases, beginning in 1994 with the album Unknown Black Shapes. Issued on (then) fellow Detroiter Claude Young's Utensil label, the set was followed by a quartet of singles and EPs, two of which featured the logo of Juan Atkins' Metroplex. After that, Dixon put Population One on ice for a full decade. When the Netherlands' Rush Hour celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2007, it reissued "Rush Hour" -- the Population One track for which the label was named -- and commissioned DJ Rolando, Convextion, and Aardvarck for remixes. Dixon went on to revive Population One with a handful of releases on disparate labels. From 2012 through 2014, 12" releases came out on Monique Musique, Delsin, Metroplex, and Dixon's own Reduction, among other outlets. By the end of 2014, Rush Hour released Dixon's second Population One album, Theater of a Confused Mind. ~ Andy Kellman
