One of the most gracefully ageing artists around. Compare his constant attempt to move things forward to the retrospective nostalgia of some of the 70s rock bands who are still boring people to death
He lives and breathes this stuff. Have to respect a producer so engrossed in his craft. Mixing skills are untouchable. I've seen him mix 4 crates of 12" in a 2 hour set. He doesn't need a reason to do what he does. Nice work Jeff!
lairdriver there is an underground scene that is so vast, vivid and wonderfully blossoming all over the world for almost 40 years now, techno has never been so alive, even though it might be hidden by the big scopes of sadly famous entertainers that attracts all the lights (most of it)
The beautiful thing about electronic music is that there are no idols ! No big band mentalities nor heros. There have been, and there will be many great music men and women! Idolising individualls is against the music and the creator of the musicmakers!
@@leninonacid2358 true my friend! Though who with any taste would listen to it? I have many records and other format tunes and to be honest I rarely remember the artist, just the track title or sleeve artwork! Peace
Mills literally is that brother who made it a point to show that blacks can be just as futuristic or cutting edge like their past influences such as Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Yello Magic, Moroder etc... he blows the whole negative perception of us not being interested or capable of doing pure electronic music out of the window. But sadly his name and music isn’t as visible to the masses like most EDM producers are these days. Which hey! maybe that’s good thing :)
Sad but true jeff mills is still extremely underappreciated and underrated artist that no one really knows about. He is my top 5 artist ever in music history of all genres of music he is a wizard and a innovative and unique in a fascinating way it draws you in without even you realizing it.
Abraham Palmer Yes he is I hope him and the other Detroit pioneers like Juan etc.. are remembered years from now for having a hand in helping to shape the electronic music scene.
Massive respect to Jeff, sticking to his guns for all these years. Personally, I lost interest for a while (call me shallow). I come back and he's making his best music ever.
He says he doesn't want to hear other producers music, but he plays plenty of other producers tracks other than his own. I'm a bit confused of what he's conveying.
He means in terms of music production, he also says "I don't want to hear their ideas" meaning he doesn't want to know what techno means to them, or what emotions do they express through techno. He wants to pave his own path sonically.
Never really explained anything other than a weird dream hes had. Seen him live and not to sure about his style. Ive been around for years listened to nearly everything techno has but i find his style to repetitive and raw.

Mills & Hood
Professor Mills always fascinating, deep stuff!
A true visionary. He comes from the real World of electronic music. The current scene is a fat bloated blob..
lairdriver there is an underground scene that is so vast, vivid and wonderfully blossoming all over the world for almost 40 years now, techno has never been so alive, even though it might be hidden by the big scopes of sadly famous entertainers that attracts all the lights (most of it)
In few words, Mr. Mills has stated the philosophy of creativity. The scientific method of musicality.
Jeff Mills is a God... I can't describe him and his music in any other way.
Ikr Jeff mills blew me away when I first listen to him on TH-cam he really stood out to me when it comes to his style and overall talent.
Amen
He really is an alien totally agree.
The great man is other worldly
I intrinsically enjoy the way Jeff Mills describes the craft of his music, it’s purpose and message. Great Stuff
Thanks Jeff Mills for getting me into DJing, The Wizard from the D, still doing what he do best!!!
Agree! The no cell-phone rule at Berghain rocks..
The beautiful thing about electronic music is that there are no idols ! No big band mentalities nor heros. There have been, and there will be many great music men and women! Idolising individualls is against the music and the creator of the musicmakers!
absolutley right except the fact that nowadays there are many idols within (commercialised) electronic music.

Indeed
Well said
That never aged well
Jeff Mills, Derrick May, Kevin Susnderson and the creator of Detroit techno Juan Atkins!!! They were my inspiration.
