jeff’s shiteating grin at 5:10 when he drops “changes of life” makes my heart swell with joy every time i watch this clip. an artist, a genius, an almost messianic figure at the peak of his powers, splattering those warbley sickly piano stabs on harsh metal like the most beautiful bird on the windshield of a souped up impala going 120 on the autobahn. god bless you jeff mills. live long and prosper
This is the best of dance music........the peak in all its beauty,wonder and energy. Not even Jeff himself can repeat this nowadays. This is a document for all of time
Jeff Mills, the master of Techno. Look at his amazing mixing skills. Most djs these days couldn't even mix this fast with cd's or mp3's. True legend, pioneer of electronic music. Check out his waveform transmission albums!
This a what a genius is like on the decks! An absolute legend & pioneer of techno. His skills as a proper DJ are undeniably the best in the business. His hands are working so fast that his brain must be way ahead of what he’s doing. Simply fantastic. WIZARD. ✌️🙌✌️
J'y étais à cette soirée de malade au cherry, je venais découvrir Jeff...J'avais acheté les cassettes de la soirée(que j'aies encore d'ailleurs), mémorable!!!!!
To clarify some incorrect information posted in these comments, "The Bells" was not recorded in 1997. It was perhaps given the name "The Bells" in 1997 however, from around 1994, when Mills began playing it, the track was simply known as "Untitled A" and is credited as such on "Live At The Liquid Room."

I posted this link before but I couldn't see my comment unless I'm logged into my youtube channel. Hopefully it gets noticed by replying to you sry.
Quelle soirée, j'avais acheté les 3 K7, me reste une, celle du mix de Jeff.... C'était au Cherry Moon... Ah les Rave Explosion.. Une autre terrible soirée a suivi avec Richie Hawtin, John Aquaviva...MEMORABLE!!!
KILLING IT!! I've been very fortunate to see him many times in the '90's at parties around Europe (In particular around the Netherlands).. Always knew when he was playing; his style is so distinct!! Never disappointed, always creative, and pedal to the metal! A setlist for this video would be awesome!! But, does anyone know the track he plays after Boris Schmidt's "Plot ii"?? Knockin' my socks off; really would love to know what track that is!!
@@BeatBandit77 Yep. Maybe a bit too fast, but it was the trend to pitch everything up back then. Whatever happens the tunes were much better (in my opinion) whether they were fast or slow. Unfortunately, the minimal (boring yawnfest) side of things took over shortly after this and has never really looked like it's gone away. I like the hard, madder stuff though. It has true gusto and feeling :-)
@@tnt90s There's only one thing to comment: I agree totally in everything you wrote. I also can remember that most of the finest harder tracks in the mid 90s were pitched up to +6/+8. Mostly I was a little bit sad about that, because in my opinion that awesome tracks had lost a little bit of their groove then, but this is a question of everyones personal taste of harder Techno sounds! ;) So far I can remember, we called it Roadrunner-Techno... I'm from Germany, and my homebases in this area were Warehouse/Cologne (the old one) and Omen/FFM.
Unbelievable how 'fast' he mixes one record into another. Sick legend but very harsh on his records lol, look how he literally throws it at his recod bag at 6:16.
Saw him 1999 on a "Psycho Thrill" - Party at ArtTheatre in Cologne and there he was giving away a lot of records he played before. -Very nice give-aways! ;) So, don't worry - I think he has for sure a plenty of copies of the records he plays.
@amstelredamme new for me 1990 ...i well check ...thers also a other video from this moment , event with good soundquality where you can see me filming Jeff Mills , filmed by Seal Phuric the ambient producer ....but this video is still not online ....
Some guy has recently uploaded a high quality version of this set on mixcloud. www.mixcloud.com/sebastiano-dosi/the-source-live-jeff-mills-laurent-garnier-rave-explosion-iii-wieze-22101993-part-1/ There's a part one and two to this, part one there's a dj that precedes Jeff, and Laurent Garnier plays after Jeff in part two. I suspect there's still a part of this set missing, but I was surprised to find a version of a higher quality than the one that already exists, I remember when I couldn't find this on the internet at all.
Heyyy i'm the uploader. LDJM on mixcloud has recently uploaded another version of this Rave Explosion III mix, which features Jeff's complete set. Me and a few technoheads have been trying to id all the tracks in the mix, we got at least 90% of them. You can check that on the relative mixesdb .com page.
There are still real DJs (and there always will be), it's just that you won't find them in Mixmag top 10 DJs or whatever. You'll definitely find them underground, though.
@roberspcksan : It means for me that Jeff Mills had created the track " The Bells " well before his official release in 1996. The vinyl which it plays has to be a only copy to the world. He is moreover color "gold" ! :)
There were always bad DJs. And to be completely honest, in all of the events I've been to in a really long time, I hadn't heard a _really_ bad DJ. I do hand pick my events, though. And there's still many visionaries and DJs/live acts pushing the art (look at what Chris Liebing is doing, KiNK, James Zabiella). In all honesty, I've never liked the music better than now, and I've been going to parties for 15+ years. Nostalgia is a tricky thing, and it's really hard to objectively view the past.
TEchno isnt dead but nowadays it looks like house at higher bpm's. The great techno years were from 1993 to 2001. Great partys then and great sound. Now techno has no agressive punch. Looks almost like baby music :s
Actually, there's a song still unknown that Jeff plays in between "The Bells" and "Change of Life: for a very brief period, a track I'm dying to know :(

I remember that set like it was yesterday! I was just behind him having a talk with Claude Young and K-Hand! :-D Fabulous night!
This is how I spend the 90s. A truly amazing time to be alive. No camera phones, the happy, no pretense vibe. And of course the pills were great too.
ChromiaKK The track he's playing on not just one, but 2 decks (to remix it magnificently) is D.N.A. by Jeff Mills
I was here :)
17 years old...
J'y étais à cette soirée de malade au cherry, je venais découvrir Jeff...J'avais acheté les cassettes de la soirée(que j'aies encore d'ailleurs), mémorable!!!!!
Simply the best... 🙏
the speed of their hands are brilliant,great musician Jeff mills

+Ron Mckenzie So, 1993 then! Assuming the date is correct. Thanks for the link.
No problem, and thank you
Mills was playing the bells for about 6 years before it was released
He was playing it at the VOX LOST in London 92/93
That is right
Quelle soirée, j'avais acheté les 3 K7, me reste une, celle du mix de Jeff....

Thanx for this great moment of good music!!!
The track`s called "D.N.A." from the " Waveform Transmissions Vol 1" album.
Such a legend. Hope he will never die ^^
Greatings from Paris. Thanks Detroit !
he's a very intelligent man, outstanding; never fails, ever.
There is a tape recording of this set btw. Less distorted. @ Rave Explosion III
Almost forgotten how hard he used to play! These were the days :-)
... hard and fast -sometimes a little bit to fast (for me) maybe... -but never to hard! :)
@@BeatBandit77 Yep. Maybe a bit too fast, but it was the trend to pitch everything up back then. Whatever happens the tunes were much better (in my opinion) whether they were fast or slow.

Que aprendan los nuevos djs lo que es pinchar techno, grande Jeff
He was a real techno machine.. was big fan
Mills how he used to be, circa 1993, Lost @ the Vox, Brixton. So many f**kingly stupid awesome times.
Nostalgie nostalgie...
Yeah Jeff had a gold disc of The Bells for himself only for years before it was released!
Thank you so much Stef; I really appreciate it!!
Unbelievable how 'fast' he mixes one record into another. Sick legend but very harsh on his records lol, look how he literally throws it at his recod bag at 6:16.
a man with a plan... :)
I think he has a plenty of copies because after set like this record is unusefull.i think hahaha master
Saw him 1999 on a "Psycho Thrill" - Party at ArtTheatre in Cologne and there he was giving away a lot of records he played before. -Very nice give-aways! ;)
So, don't worry - I think he has for sure a plenty of copies of the records he plays.
timeless
Nostalgia!!!! :(....but Mr. Mills is still one of the best of all time!!
makes want to invent a time machine to be there...
this is a REAL Rave Explosion !!!!!
@amstelredamme new for me 1990 ...i well check ...thers also a other video from this moment , event with good soundquality where you can see me filming Jeff Mills , filmed by Seal Phuric the ambient producer ....but this video is still not online ....
I know it's been 8 long years but... did you find that second video? :)
Just find the right people, the right party and you can have the same sick parties as back in the days.
Jeff Mills, king of techniks !!
Some guy has recently uploaded a high quality version of this set on mixcloud.

The absolute Blueprint for a Techno Deejay. Today's Techno Deejay charlatanism is an insult ;)
...wow...!!!!
bellissimo!!!
the best dj in the world
World Power Aliance
he is the best. 3:20 on is skills, no one could pull it off, sure they could mix it but wouldnt ave the same energy!
We love you Jeff
yeahh... back in the day when jeff mills was entertaining!!!
anyone seen him recently?
Now this is old good JEff..Just like Liquid room..5
There are still real DJs (and there always will be), it's just that you won't find them in Mixmag top 10 DJs or whatever. You'll definitely find them underground, though.
i like the apollo slipmats
also how the bells is at plus 8 and pushed up til the other track is dropped...
First track he's playing is "Step to enchantment"
Thanks mate
3:25 near deck. Is that a dubplate?
Now THAT is techno!
great composer
Part of this set is out there but I wish I could find all of it
@roberspcksan : It means for me that Jeff Mills had created the track " The Bells " well before his official release in 1996. The vinyl which it plays has to be a only copy to the world. He is moreover color "gold" ! :)
Truly mad. I love it.
the tune at 4:05 is "the bells" 1997!!!
it's because mills haven't released the bells at that time but he has produced it
There were always bad DJs. And to be completely honest, in all of the events I've been to in a really long time, I hadn't heard a _really_ bad DJ. I do hand pick my events, though.

Jeff Mills - Changes Of Life
se escucha de pena, pero lo que se escucha es mejor que lo de hoy en dia.
En el 93 agradece que se escuche... En el 2010 tenía un LG recién comprado y los vídeos se veían y escuchaban peor que esto...
@killermiller6666 that has to be an acetate...mills actually finished that track years before the final release came out!
I believe "The Bells" was played by Mills on a white label for years before he officially released it
@Kiste1993
I think it's : polygon window - quoth
excellent!
Perfekto
@speculativeboy
Millsart (Jeff Mills) - Step to enchantment (Stringent) Mecca EP - [ B1]
@LIGHTRONIX
its the same in Poland :)
Ye if you look at the 'record' it looks like its the master(metal plate)
Ele é foda!!!
I'm sure the first track is- one step to enchantment - the mecca ep? axis?
Yes, that's correct...
How the hell does the needle stay on the record 😁😁
Nostalgic
good old times :D
nice apollo slipmat, great label.
2:17, He has traktor inside.
Wow, he's so fast. I'd be tired in a minute :-)
Jeff Mills - The Bells
What's the track played just after The bells please ? I'm also looking for the next one btw...
its 'life cycle' and then 'changes of life' both by the Wizard himself
+Jelle Deylius Thanks a lot !
Actually, there's a song still unknown that Jeff plays in between "The Bells" and "Change of Life: for a very brief period, a track I'm dying to know :(
Equitek - skywalker (Mutation mix)
Do u hear clipping??
is there a better vid. or sound. better sound quality? This is awsome? 1993 :)
