 Hari Kunzru Jeff Mills
Mills is a quiet, bird-like man with a gaunt face and long fingers.
It is unsurprising that when Mills describes the experience of making music in a studio, he is preoccupied with the frustration he feels when "the message" (for Mills music is always 'the message', or 'communication') is lost or degraded in transmission from mind to DAT.
Jeff Mills goes out to the cinema and leaves the machines to evolve their sequence in the studio, and in doing so makes perhaps the most eloquent commentary we have on a cultural shift in all kinds of production, artistic and otherwise.

 BBC - collective - jeff mills interview
Now, Mills is no pin-up — despite the feverish fantasies techno trainspotters undoubtedly have about this Detroit techno legend — yet as a DJ he’s a true performer.
Largely eschewing the boring beat-matching and segues of most techno and house jocks, Mills tears through 4/4 rhythms like a hip-hop scratch DJ, rarely playing any record for longer than two minutes before he rips it from the deck, hurls it over his shoulder and slams another beat in perfectly in time.
The first official Mills mix since Live At The Liquid Rooms eight years ago, Exhibitionist is like a techno equivalent of turntablist videos — showing Mills’ magic hands in motion as he selects and spins tunes from his Purpose Maker and Axis labels, alongside other cutting edge records.

 Jeff Mills -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In contrast to much of the minimalist, hard-but-funky material that Jeff is best known for, this album explores soundscapes of a richer, more introspective nature, and the music itself reveals a depth of consciousness inherent in Mills' work-"The Other Day' refered to here is the other side of Mills' musical personality.
Listening to this sound, Mill's constructions and musical landscapes allow us to enter the artists own 'Inner Life"...a vibrant and wide ranging experience encompassing everything from the artists' external experiences as a DJ and interactive part of the human world, to the more personal world of his own (growing) family.
This album is above all a celebration of everything that is positive within this genre and beyond, without some of the cloying oversentimentality sometimes present in works born out of genuine love of art and life.
