10 iconic Jeff Mills moments
10 of the best from an absolute legend
The 909
While the likes of Chicago legends Ron Hardy and Farley Jackmaster Funk had been experimenting with drum machines in DJ sets long before Mills became a techno juggernaut, neither went on to command one live like The Wizard did. With the 909 his weapon of choice, Mills has combined it with turntables and CDJs to create another level of DJ set, making it a trademark along the way. In 2015, he took his 909 sorcery to another level, showcasing his expertise of the instrument in his second Exhibitionist DVD. The solo is an incredible watch in which Mills guides the instrument through peaks and troughs while never letting up on the energy. It's an amazing feat for a machine that only has 10 different drum sounds.
