10 iconic Jeff Mills moments
10 of the best from an absolute legend
Co-founding Underground Resistance
Not only was he a genre-defining artist in his own right, but Mills also co-founded militant techno crew Underground Resistance with 'Mad' Mike Banks in the late-80s. The project was one of complex socio-political on their hometown of Detroit in a Reagan-era world and was a major player in the second wave of the city's techno artists. Early collaborations between the duo (and fellow member Robert Hood), included tracks like 'Nation 2 Nation', 'Acid Rain' and 'Your Time Is Up'. Then, in 1992, Mills went solo. UR continued in the same vein, releasing some absolute bombs while Mills went on to become, well, Jeff Mills. But the pair have never worked together since.
