Jeff Mills - Detroit Electronic Music Festival 2007

[djmissshine]

Hey Jeff !

[isis1969]

The Wizard. I remember his DJ days in Detroit in the 80's.

[ricktbdgc]

love when water drips on your 10K worth of equiptment

[Excedorfine]

This track is awesome 8-)

[alexis7289]

HIS MUSIC IS FROM ANOTHER GALAXY AND HE LOOKS LIKE AN ALIEN TOO . . . .

[Fonzyfication]

great artist

[gweflj]

He's average IMO. Better producer than DJ. Beyer is better at both :)

[getbakedtonight]

@gweflj Nah man, listen to some jeff mills sets, even adam would say he's nothing compared to jeff...i mean when he started in 96-97 he used to open with jeff tracks like everyone around that time (surgeon for example) this guy is on a different level than ANY other DJ

[gweflj]

@getbakedtonight I dunno. Like everyone I have 'Live from the Liquid Room' and while it's got a killer vibe he ruins it by trying to be too clever with crappy vocal samples. I've heard most techno DJ's at Lost parties in the UK years back and IMO Mills was nothing special. I'd still say Weatherall owns everyone in any genre of dance music. Producer or DJ.

[getbakedtonight]

@gweflj If you only heard his cd, then you don't really know how he mixes. I'm too tired now but look for his mixes from 1994-1999...jeff is one of the only people I listened to who I like 98% of the stuff he mixes..and he's still increbily innovative in 2010.. if you go to any of his gigs, you would experience some far far away in space techno...just look for his older gigs on youtube

[TheDartblockstang]

That's one lively crowd.....it's a shame cuz Jeff is from Detroit and you'd think they would welcome him more than this.looks like a bunch of farm people are you sure this is on Detroit....geez! he still killed it though

[arvydas0069]

@TheDartblockstang You're an idiot and your comment is predictable....there's one on every youtube EDM live video saying "oooh these people aren't trying to chew their faces off....they are so borrring!!"

fuck off. I know more about techno and love it more than anyone I know but sometimes I like to bob my head and listen to it rather than dance my ass off and drop MDMA down me neck...

[davethedoobie]

Don't worship the DJ - worship the machine we a re F'd without them!

[arresteermij]

the first track is actually "sleeparchive - elephant island"

[filipemelga]

god sound!!play it..

[tomsawyersucks]

i remember his ass on 3 turntables playing vinyl, hes good at building energy with just simple grooves on top of each other

[DAVIDSOURDJ]

1.robert hood - the family watches ...

[emriaco]

first song is tunnel; is it?

[crazymorph86]

I recognise some sounds of Kraftwerk - the robots (die roboter) in the track he's spinning.

[philecops]

same track on the DE9 Richie H

[JEDI7ACEN]

Jeff used to just rip it up on the radio back in Detroit 80's! This is The Wizard!

[nci3music]

The master at work... I'm taking my lessons from him and apply'n them to my own DJing skills for my for when I'm in Germany!

[juglarlocogmail]

DJ TIESTO IS A REAL SHIT. JEFF THE WORLD BEST DJ

[emriaco]

@juglarlocogmail

tiesto is fine.But he is more like a mainstream guy.This is just like comparing Iron Maiden to Coldplay.

[juglarlocogmail]

@emriaco maybe iron maiden to jonas brothers

[RenatoRochaSP]

he reminds the dj mark of Brazil, very good

[Voodooist12]

\\\\\\\\\\\\

\GOD



[olijeolinije]

jebio teeee

[megamix59]

Excellent

[koolzainski]

mediocre dj at best.... let me hear a Derrick May set instead.

[MegaDori1]

@koolzainski ..what drugs you on??????

[koolzainski]

@MegaDori1 -LOL, unfortunately none, that's why it's boring.... gimme the techno from 87-90, Transmat, Warp, Network, KMS, Nu Groove, Strictly Rhythm, etc...

[EDyeah]

he's just a fuckin' player of a cd player...

[komabase]

its sleeparchive-elephant island

[MrTimbo666]

this is a old track from richie hawtin i think it is transmission

[londesluis]

no, its actually mika vainio, hawtin used it for his de9-mix.

[MrTimbo666]

yes your'e right but still it's a very good track

[patchcordadams]

amen!

[ricemilk]

GOD is a DJ called JEFF MILLS

[pressdesign]

@ricemilk WTF is GOD ?

[marthafragoso]

[tangerine334]

NOTRE MERVEILLEUX JEFF!!!!!!!!

[mapuppa]

[ax009sally]

[Mrfeet6634]

Purpose Maker or Axis ??

[eduardinho1992]

Richie Hawtin - The Tunel

[Elevatorhead05]

No... It's Sleeparchive - Elephant Island. Richie Hawtin just mixed 5 or 6 track in The Tunnel.

[lilbromarky1]

good call...at first I thought it was that mika viano track called atomit

[Hedsta]

Jeff Mills is a fucking God...no one can mix tek at the rate and pace that he does...to see him tear up four decks over four hours is nothing short of amazing...the energy his sets put out is colossal..lates :D

[YORKPEPPER]

any boody can mix house trance or electro!!! i beat all the same!!!

[eduardinho1992]

Richie Hawtin - The Tunel

[Swizzelsticks]

der meister mit den 3 decks

[KR34KX]

traintrackmaniac !!!!, Jeff Mills isn't a Legend !!!! :O

♥♥♥ RESPECT MISTER MILLS ♥♥♥

[kautle]

if you don't get this, watch another video where you can see what he's doing. you can't even give jeff mills any shit ever again.

[traintrackmaniac]

You guys are fucking morons! Jeff mills is a legend!

[PehoAtropin]

These beats lies in his spine. It`s imposible to copy or even mimic. U can`t critize if u warent there.

[dharmarabbit]

This man is a guru. If you say this is not hard you have no idea what he is doing...

[botargon]

difficult or not i think that if he was played in that festival is for something.... and if you know how to do the things he do why dont play there??....

[Shakin2012]

wow ur amazing, not

[nonamaka]

[michaelwandel]

Джефф и Ричи!

[FILIPLIPOTICA]

He is WiZaRd

[MutaborMaxim]

[djmissrenee]

Jeff are you married yet ?

[uns3en]

he does have japanese gf/wife ;D

[triathlete007]

Up until about 8 years ago I had a couple dozen Maxell MX cassette tapes full of his Wizard work from WJLB taken in the mid to late 80's.

[florisvaneck]

Which can all be found on the Internet. I have all his mixtapes. Priceless. This man is the master of all DJs. Respect!

[moosey62]

Woo Jeff!

So glad I wasn't yer mum having to listen to that all day.

Mate. You fucking rock.

[youtoubas]

[lilbromarky1]

[dabounca]

Fairly talented to be honest.

watch?v=p_MUW1LRpyo&feature=re­c-HM-r2

[dhrider1]

I saw one of nomis's comments and I already think hes a judgemental fuckwit.

[sidrosteel]

nomis66 can suck a tasty wet fart out of his dogs ass while he hums the national anthem with a .... in his mouth. Screw you jerk. Detroit is where its at.

Jeff Mills is the man. I got to see him at DEMF a few years ago for the first time, and Ive never seen a DJ do what he did (including blowing a mixer in 30 sec's). Seriously, he started with old school hip hop and played a history lesson that blew my mind.

Thanks for posting!

[junkiejunkiexl]

master ;];]

[wout89]

Yo you retarts, electronic music is the music of the future. Techno etc. House music, watch america in about 20 years and you will listen to the same stuff we do right now back in The Netherlands

[dw808303]

As nomis66simon has not yet found a home remedy for his verbal diarrhea, I've barred him from commenting on this video. No need to respond.

[nomis66simon]

Whoever told you kids that you had to pretend to like this nonsense; I now relieve you from that burden. Let your stunted little minds fly. This silliness has no musical, creative or emotional value. This is not an opinion, it's absolute unadulterated fact. It's time to see that the emperor's not actually wearing any clothes. History will laugh at untalented idiots like this guy.

[mallymal68]

Tell me, what's on your playlist? Besides Miles Davis, who is of many i admire, what artist do you like? What other genres do you indulge in? Electronic Music isn't for everyone. some people just don't understand the complexity of what Jeff (The Wizard) Mills was doing with his vinyl and especially with his mixer. you might not feel him, but it took many years for people to feel Thelonius Monk also.

It's a "D" Thang!

[probot500]

you're disgrace for mankind...

you must be so ashamed for ever being born!

tisk tisk... such pitiful, little loser!

[probot500]

nomis66simon suck big time!

[AcidDripp]

Don't you have anything better to do rather than to make yourself look like a total ignorant piece of shit, nomis66simon? Do you even know ANYTHING about being an electronic music producer? Don't even bother to respond, you're just going to make yourself look like a total retard once more.

[nomis66simon]

But for those of you who are still too weak or stupid to haul yourselves out of the primordial sewer of self-deception, can I interest you in buying a recording of my dog farting the national anthem? He uses 8 record decks at the same time - all playing different spice girls tunes. It's really cool and happening. It's the latest thing (so it must be good) It may even make girls like you. And he has no musical training whatsoever.

[nomis66simon]

If this guy can just pop other peoples music on a turntable and then persuade illiterate imbeciles like you lot to go out and spend your dole money on it - then maybe he's not so thick after all, but as for his fans............lol

P.S. Stop taking drugs, get a job and buy some miles davis lol.

[finalscratch]

Jeff Mills makes his own music. You are clueless. Why are you her anyways? I'm not baggin on Miles Davis videos.

[swarms08]

I f**kin love this trak this is my life.

Thanks Jeff4 for being real and alive.

[swarms08]

Any real techno nut knows this is the shit,everyone else(specially nomis66simon(what do u know cunt.)can fuk off

[nomis66simon]

So trying to pull the modern technology card just wont wash with me. Yes it's modern- modern crap. Also here's a scary idea for your little stunted mind: Some people are qualified in but modern and traditional ways of making music. Having a DAW isn't much good if you don't even understand what chords or scales you're playing.

Anyway, stop being rude or I'll shove your lame PC together with your pirated version of Fruity Loops up your sorry arse. And I'll tread on your Gameboy lol.

[ShinoNoMono]

Understanding scales etc doesn't qualify you as "better" than others or giev more weight to your opinion. Django Reinhardt couldn't even read, never mind read music but he's one of the greatest jazz guitarists that ever lived. By your standard he woudl not be able to comment on other guitarists, despite many not being able to come close to his skill. Stop being an anorak and an internet hard man and leave people to what they prefer listening to..which isn't you it appears.

[kbazdan7]

Hey asshole fuck you, if you do not appreciate something magical like this, or this DJ, then as mentioned, go jerk off on some Miles Davis. I do listen to him a lot, but jus some fuking retards like yourself should go find something else to do and not sit on ur ass nd write some shity comments.

[probot500]

You stupid, ignorant motherfu***n' as**le!!! I feel sorry for losers like ya!!!

[probot500]

That 'nomis66simon' guy is load'a'crap!!!!!

[adamskio123]

Look mate, I'm a sound engineer and work with artists all day every day, both with electronic and more traditional "acoustic" instruments. Both can be incredibly creative and the technical skills required are incomparable. I can appreciate every genre/style/insert pigeonhole synonym here of music for what it is, someone's vision. It doesn't have to connect with you personally, that's fine. Please don't become narrowminded and ignorant because there is so much music out there to be enjoyed.

[marko8324]

thank u for some common sense...dont really see that much of it on youtube.

[nomis66simon]

First let me say that I'm astounded by your rudeness, if you spoke like this to my face you'd be picking up you teeth. Secondly, I'm sitting in front of an 8-core Mac running LogicPro and surrounded by more electronic equipment than you could possibly understand (or afford) so don't even think about pulling that one. I love good electronic music, but this is just mindless crap for stoned idiots.

If you really want good electronic music try:

Venetian Snares

Squarepusher

Aphex Twin

[ShinoNoMono]

You make a lot of assumptions about what people you don't know can afford or "understand". Your equipment list is utterly irrelevant, music is an entirely subjective experience so no matter what equipment you have you are no more qualified to determine what is "good" than anyone else. I have seen some truly awful sets by Rich (Aphex). The only thing that brings electronica down is whining geek boys who dismiss anyone with a different anorak - like you for instance.

[AcidDripp]

You don't even deserve all this equipment that you apparently have, calling others rude while you're being the rudest commenter of this video, nomis66simon.

So just shut the fuck up.

[Bluesage2009]

and yes i can type composed, when i am not in a FIT OF RAGE!........

OH and i am GEN Y , we were brought up writing on your REAL PAPER TOO, and smoking you REAL CIGARETTES, and driving your REAL *air suffocating,resource sucking cars too*

let's not forget your REAL FOOD!, fucking morons........ GO DIE.

YOUR IGNORANCE FUCKED THIS WORLD, and now we have to REPAIR IT......... thanks a LOT!

[Bluesage2009]

I am so FED UP, of ignorant wankers called their instruments "REAL"

WELL GUESS WHAT!, WE HAVE NEW INSTRUMENTS NOW! because... if you did not NOTICE, you fucking moronic piece of shit, it is 2010 SOON

You wanna see a REAL music mate, give me a DAW and you can have your "REAL" instrument, and we will find out who produces REAL MUSIC!

talentless wanker

[Bluesage2009]

I CHALLENGE, any ignorant wanker who dare every attempts to suggest in the slightest, that producing good electronic music is somehow void of musicality.

So how do you define "REAL" instruments ?, i think the correct term is "those things I! consider REAL instruments, in my ABSOLUTE IGNORANCE and fucking out-moded mindset of days LONG GONE!

Since it's so "easy" tool, LETS SEE YOU PRODUCE TUNES, APPRECIATED, HONORED AND RESPECTED BY THE FANS... GO ON!..... since it's so "easy".

[djpeppe89]

afammocc si nu mostr scass tt cos

[nomis66simon]

I've been playing real instruments for most of my life, can someone tell me how switching on a drum machine and turning a knob constitutes talent? Because I'm pretty sure i could do this. In fact if i'm a bit busy i'm pretty sure my dog could do this. lol

[flyingdiamond]

the only way to know is to actually try.

[Bluesage2009]

Get fucked tool.

They are real instruments fool, only ones vastly more advanced then your sorry ass is ever going to master.

Piss off back to yesterday.

[Atshes]

[xfilewillie]

Raining over the DJ on the 21st century? All of the fuckin´promotors needs any lection of history...

I remember one...Berto Turulla, the first introductor of the electronic music in Spain, result dead in the 1983 via electroshock during a sound test.

Rest in peace Berto, all of us don´t forgive it

[ticmat1212]

[DeefexNYC]

[PESHOPIKATA]

YES JEFF IS REALY SOMETHING

[vanilla52681]

¡vaya como llueve! it´s raining

[mirkettoR76]

a true n. 1

master

[salamahal]

E' un mostro di tecnica ma Hawtin che spazia nella minimal pura fa dei set molto più ballabili.

[scanretina]

props for Jeff

[chromebio]

OMH!!!

'Richie Hawtin - The Tunnel' in speed that playing Jeffy sounds more harder :D

[dietermitplatten]

No, it's not 'The Tunnel', it's 'Sleeparchive - Elephant Island'. Richie Hawtin used it as a sample in his track.

[System777]

Nice, no wonder that sample sounded familiar to me. Good one.

[Ruzicka54]

Not the best video in the world but Jeff Mills is my hero!

[pedroparla]

oscar mulero the best of the world

[TheModernistMunich]

The best DJ over the world!!!!

Thank you Jeff:)

[qwandiddy]

100% agree, I grew up in his mixes.

[tralletame]

i tan wizard

[mammorm]

graaande nonno jeff ... è sempre il migliore al mondo secondo me !!!!

[bordeauxjean]

too mainstream!!

usa år ju 10 år efter oss europeer...)

[vladcaia]

er det?

[the1perfect1tool]

This was a really boring set. The tag jungle action that was happening at the Pyramid stage blew him out of the water

[agmarkis]

i never heard of Jeff Mills before but yeah i agree that dis one sounds pretty boring

[PixiesOnProzac]

Your an idiot, its not like your their checking out his entire set right? BTW, ever managed to spin 4 tables at once in sync? Jeff Mills is a TechnoGOD

[agmarkis]

your opinion. this track just isnt my style. congrats on calling me an idiot on youtube. i didnt say i didnt like him, i just said i didnt like this one.

[SimoesProfeta]

Dave Clarke Owns

[bibin28]

i saw him live 5 times!! for me the best techno dj of the world !!!! ass: portuguese tecno guy

[juggz79]

whizzard

[juggz79]

jeff mills,is NOT a superstar dj,as such,just a popular dj,who pioneered and plays his own brand of techno,he's been around a long fuckin tome,i believe he was an electro dj in detroit,in the 80's,callin himself DJ Whizz..

[motownsown]

Actually he was called "The Wizard" Him and Gary Chandler used to hang out and DJ at EMU in Ypsilanti at a club called the Nectarine

[soundsofdafunk]

just to agree with "rabbitlegs" anyone who has seen this guy DJ knows what techno is about... Orbit was the best club in this country, in the 10yrs i went i never had a shit night!

[digglor]

best techno dj evar

[devmiles]

jeff is so popular because he's doin' his own thing for so many years so please stop complaining about superstar dj's! jeff is a pioner in what he's doin. no nowadays ableton click and turn fx liveset but good ol' authentic techno all by hand.

one of the greatest pioneers alive!! _O_

[JAMESJW2006]

sick speakers till funktion 1s

[ipeeinthebath]

JEFF da man plus richie hawtin love what these guys do JEFF IS THE ULTIMATE

[Mashaladjz]

he is ok but nothing special.Hate superstardj's these days cos they play music for them selfs..take a look at people on the back..no one is dancing..parties r made for dancing not for experimenting..u do that at home..

[dw808303]

The people in back are largely press/VIP. They never dance. :) Take a look at ffg's photos on flickr to see people dancing in front.

[rabbitlegs]

mmm...dont quite agree there bud! Jeff is a pioneer of his chosen craft. I have seen a hundred and one "Techno D'J's" He is one of the best live! Esp when @ ORBIT leeds...RIP

Jeff is pure mind abuse at its best!!!!1

[rabbitlegs]

Lucky bastards! Ive seen him at the ORBIT Leeds though

Now that was MAD.

Jeff is outa this world!

[mcmonkeys1]

and this was after 3 gigs in europe the 3 nites before this set...legend!

[padams24]
