The Homosapien Sapiens (2:46)
Review: For the latest volume in his ongoing retrospective series "The Director's Cut", Jeff Mills has decided to offer us another chance to own his most iconic and celebrated track, "The Bells". All techno heads should know the 1996 original version that kicks off the EP, but if you don't, it's a stomping, heavily percussive romp rich in looped synth stabs and chiming melodies. Here it comes accompanied by the stunning version found on the "Blue Potential" DVD, in which Mills performed live with Montpellier Philharmonic Orchestra), and bonus cut "The Homosapien Sapiens", which appears to be a previously unreleased cut. While of interest, it's the version of "The Bells" that make the EP an essential purchase.

Review: Last year Detroit techno stalwart Jeff Mills launched a new project, The Zanza, an ever-changing collective of jazz, Latin and electronic musicians who could help him explore his love of a wide variety of styles and genres. Following on from the project's debut release, Mills has now delivered a debut album that once again proves not only his versatility as a producer, but also the vivid, widescreen nature of his musical vision. Wonderland is not an ambient or techno album - though it does contain multiple nods to the latter - but rather a hybrid affair that draws great influence from Latin music (and samba in particular), jazz in many forms, dubbed-out electro, jazz-funk and, on the rushing 'The Time Is Tight', organ and piano-heavy gospel house.

Review: "The 'One Man Spaceship' project pays tribute to people who exceed beyond what is expected of them or of the normal and predictable ways. 'One Man Spaceships' observes the art of barrier-breaking and the deep solitude of transgressions into unknown and uncharted territories. In this process, it is common to distance and loose those that are nearest and dearest to you. It is a special isolation that develops due to the extreme focus on a ideology and perspective. This sacrifice is sometimes necessary as the objective is larger than life itself." - Jeff Mills.

Review: The classic album that first truly broke Jeff Mills into Europe 20 years ago gets a 21st century snazzing-up, and it's remarkable upon re-listening just what breadth there is to the earliest of the Detroit hero's output. With some sly shuffling of the running order, nothing can prepare you for the switch from visceral intensity of "Jerical" to the piano-led stompathon "Changes Of Life". The complexity within Mills' production is staggering for the time, as frantic, interlocking pulses of rhythm come daggering out of his machines. Still it's the more accessible cuts such as "Late Night" that should find favour with DJs new to the Purpose Maker's ways.

Review: Sir Jeff returns with this sampler 12" featuring highlights from his recent album The Power, released on his own Axis Records imprint. Exploring a similar, albeit slightly denser, sonic terrain to his recent Something In The Sky releases, A Side tracks "Microbe" and "The Exchange" are imbued with tense loops and an almost overwhelming sense of intangible menace. Flip over for the stunning, hypnotic chiming melody of "Spiral Therepy" - backed by a beat so delicate and fragile you have to really listen to realise it's actually there. The beats disappear entirely on "The Diagnosis", leaving ghostly echoes and synth washes to tiptoe cautiously across the bleak sonic landscape. A supreme exploration of restraint from one of electronic music's most relentlessly forward-thinking characters.

Review: Techno deity Jeff Mills graces us with the latest instalment of his series of unexplained (and unnamed) techno phenemonena. No stranger to providing techno backing to Sci Fi classics, Something In The Sky Vol 4 sounds like Mills providing the music to a 50s B movie about a Martian invasion of Washington DC via four cuts of outer galactic head music. Haunting strings shimmer beneath the hiss of deep pads on "Track 1" whilst paranoia inducing key swirls portray the Martian descent onto the Federal Triangle on "Track 2". On the flip proceedings get a tad more urgent, as infinitely coiling synths wrap around the relentless thud of "Track 3" with Mills displaying all his knowledge of crafting brain melting melodic music on the final hypnotic missive.

This album is an "electronic composition", with its purpose to be heard while watching the 1926 masterpiece. Mills' own mastery of the sound of the future excellently matches Lang's master vision of the Utopian Dream: narrative, passionate, and timeless. The future of electronic music is now. Listen to it and understand why Jeff Mills is know as the best techno producer in the world.

Review: For those of you who may have become enamoured with Jeff Mills' avant garde techno projects with, say, the Montpellier Philharmonic, or his minimal musings on his Something In The Sky imprint, then let's take a quick trip down memory lane. The year is 1992, and a young Detroit producer has moved to Berlin, bringing his own unique brand of stripped back, utterly banging techno with him. Waveform Volume 1 was his first ever EP, released on Tresor's record label in 1992, and it's an uncompromising mix of pounding 909s, relentless BPMs and screeching synths. This was (and still is) truly boundary pushing stuff.

If you want an idea of what those parties were like in the vaults of the old Wertheim department store, just listen to "Whisper" or "Basic Human Design" and you'll start to get an idea of how amazing this scene actually was. Mills, we salute you. This is one for the ages.

Review: Techno deity, Jeff Mills, returns with his latest array of goodies for his own Purpose Maker imprint. "Transport" gets things rolling with a typically-Millsian Detroit techno bubbler, with percolating synths, deep bass, and crisp beats all working the floors nicely. On the reverse, "Kat Lick" goes for a tougher, more analog techno workout, with driving beats and synths topping a rumbling bassline. "The Clairvoyant" completes the trio with layered drum patterns, filtered synths, and a rich techno bassline blending into a lush late night techno gem.

Review: Jeff Mills' Something In The Sky series started when the Detroit veteran noticed a distinct lack of functional records on the market, namely 12"s that could be manipulated by adventurous DJs keen to modify basic grooves into their own unique DJ sets. Thus the SITS releases have hallmarked by sparse, stripped back 909s, shuffling hi-hats and eerie atmospherics, while the artwork points to Mills' affinity for extra terrestrial life. Simply put, yet another essential addition to the collection of any Mills completist or techno DJ with a sense of artistry.

Review: Yet another absolute must have re-press on the Tresor imprint of some classic Jeff Mills. "The Extremist" is Jeff Mills in uncompromising, relentless form with four varying takes on the track that opened his 1994 Waveform Transmission Vol. 3 album. The original mix is hard, highly compressed industrial machine funk of the highest order. Next up the "Fusion" mix sees a two note string sample fight for it's life against a barrage of schizophrenic percussion. Flip over for the most straight up techno moment on the "Retro" mix with the synth melody practically riding the hi-hats like an exercise bike. Lastly we have the "DNA" mix which is what the likes of Dave Clarke and Laurent Garnier were dropping back in 1994 - a real aggressive slice of techno which is not for the faint hearted.

Review: Combine one of the best Sci-Fi movies of all time with the magical Jeff Mills and what do you get? This amazing three-track of music inspired by the classic film "Bladerunner." Composing dark cinematic orchestrations with complex sequences, Mills constructs tracks that are bold, dangerous and right at the edge of a new era of electronic music. Here, Mills takes a progressive step further and transports traditional electronic music sounds to a classical music form. Not necessarily dancefloor techno, this is still a masterpiece of sound and inspiring to any fan of Mills or the film.

Review: For those less enamoured with the "USB cube" version of Jeff Mills' latest opus The Jungle Planet, it's finally available in the more standard 2LP format. It sees Mills in full-on sci-fi mode, recounting a tale (in instrumental form, of course) about "the last waking human" on a trip to "the planet of planets". In the wrong hands, this would be a pretentious mess, but there's no one better than the Detroit legend at creating alien worlds using synthesizers and drum machines. While not everyone will get the concept, few will have any complaints about his far-sighted blends of bleep-heavy ambience, swooping soundscapes and wide-eyed techno futurism.

Review: Since launching Something In The Sky as an offshoot of his Axis label in 2009, Jeff Mills has used it sparingly. Yet its releases are among his best. Giving him license to fully explore his obsession with space and techno's intergalactic boundaries, his contributions to the label's discography usually sound like they've been beamed in from a satellite broadcasting classic 1980s Detroit techno experiments. That's certainly the case here. The four untitled tracks bubble and pulse menacingly, offering spacious synths, hypnotic rhythms and more alien electronic noises than your average episode of Star Trek. Being Mills, each of these blasts-from-the-past come loaded with bittersweet machine soul, making them brilliant DJ tools.

Review: Loaded in conceptual background and forming a follow-on to last years The Jungle Planet, Jeff Mills continues his Sleeper Wakes series with this highly developed album of forward thinking electronics both ambient and energized. "Stellar Black Connector" certainly hits upon his style of techno, albeit in a more cinematic and patient way, but much of the album is more concerned with atmospheric vistas that play out like richly realised incidentals that do a fine job of projecting the accompanying imagery into your cerebral cortex. With its masterful production and unapologetic forward focus, albums don't come much more techno than this.

Review: Since many of Jeff Mills's strongest albums have been new scores to classic sci-fi films, hopes are naturally high for this audio interpretation of Georges Melies' 1902 silent movie, A Trip To The Moon. As you'd expect, it's an impressively cinematic musical journey, with the Detroit legend using synthesizers and drum machines to do the work of an orchestra. It touches on many of his usual musical tropes - think star-hazing ambient and futurist Detroit techno - while also offering nods towards Chicago acid, the kind of cyclical, phase-based compositions pioneered by Steve Reich, experimental noise, and neo-classical. It's emotive, immaculately produced, and hugely entertaining.

Review: Detroit techno legend Jeff Mills has suggested that his new conceptual opus should be experienced in isolation, free of noise and visual distractions and listened to in its entirety. Like its name may suggest, The Clairvoyant has an arcane, mystical and somewhat understated quality throughout. Opening cut the 'The Seance' has that chiming and hypnotic style of trance induction familiar from most of his other work on Axis, other times venturing into knackered, off-kilter territory as heard on 'Someone Who Feels Things' and at other opportunities exploring similarly unusual time signatures, textures and moods as heard on the mesmerising trilogy 'Three Signs From The Other Side'. More upbeat, groove based experiments you've come to know from Mills (and which will similarly appeal to DJs) can be heard on the majestic 'Questions, Decisions And Consequences' or the typically syncopated rhythms of 'Ganzfeld Experiments'. In a word, magnificent.

What Mills set would be complete without "The Bells" (which appears on Part1), "Gamma Player" or one of his epic 909 drum machine solos (as heard on Part 4, to much fanfare). There's a whole bunch of other bleepy epics from the Purpose Maker/Axis back catalogue, all mixed with the kind of raw intensity that The Wizard himself can only portray. There's no doubt he's still one of the best in the business, and this one's definitely for the fans.

Review: The Wizard returns with yet another conceptual project steeped in sci-fi on his new LP Lost In Space. Somehow Jeff Mills' constant forays into said aesthetics are always so fascinating. From his reinterpretation of the soundtrack to Fritz Lang's Metropolis at the turn of the millennium, to releases like Time Machine or Man From Tomorrow: this is where we see the techno master at his most creative. The five track release is the first material from Mills' new electronic-classical project, which is a collaboration with Orchestre National Du Capitole De Toulouse. It is not the first time the Detroit artist has worked with an orchestra: back in 2005 he collaborated with Montpellier Philharmonic Orchestra on the Blue Potential LP where they assisted him on covers from his esteemed Axis/Purpose Maker and Underground Resistance back catalogue. The real power of the musicians' contribution can be heard on tracks like "Planets X " which still retain Mill's power of the original, while "Gliese 436B" employs his trademark hypnotic sound.

If (feat Marachka - Vox Soul mix) (7:41)
If (feat Anna F - original remix) (7:41)
Review: Some 20 years after "If" first hit stores, Jeff Mills has decided to get his old pal Terrence Parker to remix it. He's done a rather good job, with both versions making great use of Mills' ghostly original chord sequences and two different variations on the mesmerizing, seemingly drifting scat-style vocals that was arguably the track's most memorable feature. The A-side "Vox Soul Mix" includes new vocals in the original style by Marachka, whose haunting but soulful improvisations brilliantly rise above metronomic techno drums, spacey effects and those now famous chords. The similar sounding "Original Remix" is a little tougher and weightier, with tooled-up percussion (check the restless hi-hats) underpinning Anna F's original scat vocal and Mills' ethereal, ambient style chords.

Broken Beat/Nu Jazz
Eventide (14:12)
Introduction (4:42)
Happy Gamma Ray (15:13)
Review: The first release from the Axis Audiophile Series. Jeff Mills has formed an electronic jazz fusion band and this 12? is a recording of their recent performance in Kobe during the TodaysArt.JP Festival. Mills manages the decks, drums and percussion and is joined Detroit legend and Underground Resistance stalwart Gerald Mitchell (Los Hermanos/Galaxy 2 Galaxy), keyboardist Yumiko Ohno and bassist Kenji Jino. "Eventide" has the same kind of urban, uplifting soul as anything Kaidi Thatham or Mark de Clive-Lowe have made and isn't bad at all! On the flip "Happy Gamma Ray" features uplifting keys and emotive chords backed by funk bass and one of Mills' unmistakeable 909 drum machine workouts. It really seems that there's no limit to this Motor City legend's creativity which has spanned nearly 30 years and we're excited about this new chapter in the Wizard's sonic universe.

The Hunted (4:58)
Solar Crossroads (4:10)
Rabid Star Clusters (3:09)
Triangularism (4:16)
Review: More conceptual techno from the The Wizard. Jeff Mills presents the Domino Effect, the first installment of 12" EP from Jeff Mills new solo LP, Free Fall Galaxy, the ninth chapter of his "science-fiction story" Sleeper Wakes and first since 2014's Emerging Crystal Universe. It is a sublime serving of Millsian intergalactic ambience on "The Hunted", while "Solar Crossroads" sees the man employ his classic, cyclical minimalism on this bleepy and hypnotic groove full of rich strings his magical 909 touch. On the flip he takes us deeper into the void on "Rabid Star Clusters" with its snarling use of 303 acid and "Triangularism" which keeps things stripped and minimal on this wonderfully executed method of trance induction. Often imitated yet never matched, Mills still has it and this EP is brilliant from start to finish. Oh... And that cover art!

Review: Detroit legend Jeff Mills' returns with an exciting new LP, and as always, there's a deep concept behind it. Mind Power Mind Control explores various techniques used for mind control, the deceptive techniques devised for such purposes and its power over people. Similarly, the music on offer here is incredibly hypnotic - this is a Mills album after all - with each track's complex sonic tapestry sure to entrance you. All of The Wizard's idiosyncrasies are on offer: immaculately programmed 909 rhythms underpin majestic strings and sublime tones, all delivered with his trademark style of futurist minimalism. While less dancefloor oriented than some of this revered DJ's previous releases, it's awe-inspiring nonetheless. Essential listening.

When The Time Is Right (7:08)
When The Time Is Right (Only For The Night) (6:06)
Something Like That (Moody mix) (6:27)
Review: Jeff Mills and the Zanza 21 project have been workmen away on this new one for sometime. It is an accumulation of ideas that take jazz principles and apply them to electronic music, or more specifically the theory that "music is most useful at the point when it touches the soul of the listener, until then, it's just sound." As such Jeff layers up his acoustic and electronic instruments - all of which he plays himself - into star gazing tunes with rich astral melodies and big, bulky grooves that are easy to attach yourself to but hard to forget. This is the first of many releases that are already done and dusted, so keep your eyes peeled for more.

Techno
Rise (5:43)
The Storyteller (6:40)
Entanglement (5:38)
Review: His adoring but party-focused audience may not always realise it, but Jeff Mills - the Detroit raised, Berlin-based techno icon - never programs a kick drum or hi-hat without some serious thought being put behind it. 'Extension' is apparently the latest in a series that started with 'Growth' in 1994 and continued with 2004 with 'Expanded', under the same concept, namely an attempt to "bring forth the notion that the Future could provide more than what we are doing now." The three tracks begin with the fizzing, watery ambience of 'Rise', kick drums present but somewhat muted, before 'The Storyteller' provides a more traditional 4/4 framework for some genuinely out of this world effects. 'Entanglement' clocks in somewhere between the other two, bubbling away beatlessly, then eased along by ride cymbals until finally a pulsing kick enters the fray over what sound like bleepy Morse code signals being beamed to other planets. More atmospheric than simply downright banging, this is Jeff Mills at his most original.
