DJ Profile: JEFF MILLSTue 11th Aug 2009 Bio
................  Jeff Mills is credited with laying the foundations for the highly influential Detroit Techno collective, Underground Resistance, alongside 'Mad' Mike Banks, a former Parliament bass player. Just like Public Enemy did some years before in hip hop, these men confronted the mainstream music industry with revolutionary rhetoric. Dressed in uniforms with skimasks and black combat suits, they were ‘men on a mission’, aiming at giving techno more content and meaning.More recently he appears to be taking extended forays into epic techno (such as his re-scoring of Metropolis, which he performed live with the original film) and his 16 September 2004 7-hour set with Laurent Garnier at Fabric. The epic proportions were further extended when his 2006 album Blue Potential was recorded with the Montpellier Philharmonic Orchestra under Alain Altinoglu. There is a DVD of the concert at which the album was recorded, an opportunity to see Mills in action, live on stage (video below)
We've been in love with the Jeff Mills sound for a very long time, there is so much energy in his performance's. Check out the videos below and see for yourself. Video
