Juan Atkins Tameko J. Williams Laurens von Oswald

ex Richard Davis, John Housely

Detroit-based electro formation launched by Juan Atkins and Richard Davis in 1981. One album was released by this duo, the other two albums are solely Richard Davis. In 2019, Cybotron reshaped. In place of the members Richard Davis and John Housely, Juan Atkins was joined by Laurens von Oswald, and by fellow Detroiter Tameko Williams aka DJ Maaco.

Not to be confused with Australian Cybotron, which also released electronic music.
