9mile Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 I know there are not many techno heads on this board, but you should all watch and learn. Around the same time Larry Levan was just looping disco records at paradise garage jeff mills was pushing the boundries of technology in detroit.......this is a 3 part mix video he did 2 years ago, watch and learn.....even if you dont like the music, you cant deny his skills.JEFF MILLS: The Exhibitionist Mix (2004)"I can never remember such a piece of work ever existing where a techno DJ was captured on film in a very graphic way so we could see exactly how he's mixing and piecing records together to create a very streamlined soundtrack. I thought this would expand the ideas that are conveyed through DJ mixing to people who are not aware of what a DJ really does - and what is the difference, between say a hip hop DJ, or a techno DJ... Just simply focusing on the creative motion of a DJ would allow more people to become interested in the art form. I thought starting with what a DJ does is the best way."- Jeff Mills3 turntables and a 909 THESE VIDEOS ARE LONG, so I WOULD LET THEM LOAD FIRST1/3 - http://youtube.com/watch?v=Pf9Rr5Wrg_c2/3 - http://youtube.com/watch?v=tcegmXTfDw43/3 - http://youtube.com/watch?v=aj3utHFMhA4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverbull Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 I know there are not many techno heads on this board, but you should all watch and learn. Around the same time Larry Levan was just looping disco records at paradise garage jeff mills was pushing the boundries of technology in detroit......Jeff Mills is a legendary dj (hes also playing pacha on the 29th i believe), While not a fan of techno exactly i can appreciate certain things. My only dispute is that comment i quoted you from. Pioneers of techno have been established as being from DETROIT: DERRICK MAY, KEVIN SAUNDERSON, JUAN ATKINS. Jeff mills is from the following genration after the above named djs, read it for yourself:Taken from: http://www.jahsonic.com/Techno.htmlTechno was primarily developed in basement studios by "The Belleville Three", a cadre of African-American men who were attending college, at the time, near Detroit, Michigan.The budding musicians – former high school friends and mixtape traders Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson – found inspiration in Midnight Funk Association, an eclectic, 5-hour, late-night radio program hosted on various Detroit radio stations including WCHB, WGPR, and WJLB-FM from 1977 through the mid-1980s by DJ Charles "The Electrifying Mojo" Johnson. Mojo's show featured heavy doses of electronic sounds from the likes of George Clinton, Kraftwerk, and Tangerine Dream, among others.Though initially conceived as party music and played at parties given by posh Detroit high school clubs such as Comrades, Weekends, and Rumours, the music soon attracted enough attention to garner its own club the Music Institute. The institute, though short-lived, was known for its all night sets, its sparse setup, and its juice bar (the Institute never served liquor). Over what was really a short period of time, techno began to be seen by many of its originators and up-and-coming producers as an expression of Future Shock and post-industrial angst. It also took on increasingly urban, science-fiction oriented themes.The music's producers were using the word "techno" in a general sense as early as 1984 (as in Cybotron's seminal classic "Techno City"), and sporadic references to an ill-defined "techno-pop" could be found in the music press in the mid-1980s. However, it was not until Neil Rushton assembled the compilation Techno! The New Dance Sound Of Detroit for Virgin UK in 1988 that the word came to formally describe a genre of music.Techno has since been retroactively defined to encompass, among others, works dating back to "Shari Vari" (1981) by A Number Of Names, the earliest compositions by Cybotron (1981), Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder's "I Feel Love" (1977), and the more danceable selections from Kraftwerk's repertoire between 1978 and 1983.In the years immediately following the first techno compilation's release, techno was referenced in the dance music press as Detroit's relatively high-tech, mechanical brand of house music, because on the whole, it retained the same basic structure as the soulful, minimal, post-disco style that was emanating from Chicago and New York at the time. The music's producers, especially May and Saunderson, admit to having been fascinated by the Chicago club scene and being influenced by house in particular. This influence is especially evident in the tracks on the first compilation, as well as in many of the other compositions and remixes they released between 1988 and 1992. May's 1987-88 hit "Strings Of Life" (released under the nom de plume Rhythim Is Rhythim), for example, is considered a classic in both the house and techno genres. However at the same time, there is also evidence that Chicago was influenced by the Detroit Three. Allegedly May loaned Chicago producers the equipment they would use to make the classic House Nation.A spate of techno-influenced releases by new producers in 1991-92 resulted in a rapid fragmentation and divergence of techno from the house genre. Many of these producers were based in the UK and the Netherlands, places where techno had gained a huge following and taken a crucial role in the development of the club and rave scenes. Many of these new tracks in the fledgling IDM, trance and hardcore/jungle genres took the music in more experimental and drug-influenced directions than techno's originators intended. Detroit and "pure" techno remained as a subgenre, however, championed by a new crop of Detroit-area producers like Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin, Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Drexciya and Robert Hood, plus certain musicians in the UK, Belgium and Germany.Derrick May is often quoted as comparing techno to "George Clinton and Kraftwerk stuck in an elevator", even though very little, if any, techno ever bore a stylistic resemblance to Clinton's repertoire. So technically jeff wasnt makign techno per say while levan as you say was reworking disco tracks. Alot of inspiration dj pierre had came from RON HARDY at the MUSICBOX which opened in 1983, and also THE WAREHOUSE (1977-1982) with DJ FRANKIE KNUCKLES and later his other club THE POWER PLANT (1983-1987?)So if DERRICK MAY was inspired around 1986-1987 and Jeff mills rose around 1989-1990. Its hard to say jeff mills was creating something around the same time as LARRY LEVAN @THE PARADISE GARAGE(1977-1987). And one more bit of information about your jeff mills:JEFF MILLSBorn in Detroit 1963, Jeff Mills is considered as one of the most brilliant DJs and producers in Techno, and one of the most significant and characteristically profound figures of the Detroit scene. He started as a DJ at the Detroit radio station WJLB in 1987 and in 1989 began producing with Tony Srock FINAL CUT.BEGAN Producing in 1989 2 yrs after the garage closed,hmmm.

My point is that technically he has done more for music than ANYONE from the paradise garage, loft, etc etc.......I dont need to cut and paste blurbs from websites like you as i am fortunate enough to know what i am talking about.
