    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!

    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

      absolutley right except the fact that nowadays there are many idols within (commercialised) electronic music.

      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)

    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.

  • @eklektikTechno
    @eklektikTechno 5 лет назад +3

    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 :)

    • @abrahampalmer1153
      @abrahampalmer1153 4 года назад

      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.

    • @eklektikTechno
      @eklektikTechno 4 года назад

      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.

  • @djpopcorn
    @djpopcorn 8 лет назад +1

    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.

    • @Defeshh
      @Defeshh 8 лет назад +5

      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.

    • @the1version422
      @the1version422 3 месяца назад

      Perhaps he means progressive by nature, not necessarily to a particular destination. And evolving as an artist without being influenced by others as much. But I agree, I’m curious to hear more. It was the most intriguing part of the interview.
