"I feel, especially more so now than years ago, that there aren't enough people who really concentrate on introducing new things in dance music industry. I mean, from what I can see from my colleagues, other DJs and artists, there aren't enough [people] testing new things; kind of putting aside the fear that the audience may not like you, or may not like it. There seems to be a shortage of that in dance music..."
— Detroit techno legend Jeff Mills talks music industry in his first radio interview in more than a decade.

I find Jeff Mills quote rather interesting. He mentions about Dj's not pushing forward with "new things in dance music industry" > In the picture I notice Mr. Mills is still playing with a Roland TR-909? Hmmm... And I've heard his recent sets that sound like his same sets from 1995. Mr. Mills its time that you push forward and become more interesting. And please sell the 909 on ebay and learn to use a new piece of gear. Regards, P.S. I love comments to my site. They improve my rankings on Google and Yahoo. Thanks guys!!!! |

Just listen his music and then speak. One of most experimental artist to date. Photo may be old and i dare you to please find me another "better" strictly analog drummachine with so good interface. Please do so and post here. No i am not Mills fanboy but i can clearly see and hear in which directions music is tend to go and i am with Mills and few others here.. |
