RiL037 Jeff Mills The Purpose Maker - In The Bush (Axis)
/Jeff Mills is widely respected as the innovator of the second wave of Detroit Techno after Derrick May led the way. Recording since 1993 the rakishly thin Mills has a prolific back catalogue and is known as an incredible performer. He mixes fast and furiously and often with a TR909 drum machine at his side, flicking effortlessly between live programming and records. 'In the Bush' is a special record for me because I once won a DJ Mixing competition when I was challenged to mix the two most unlikely tunes together and managed to throw this perfectly in time over a Julio Iglesias record (I forget which!). You can check it out in the Pleasure Rooms mix coming in around 1.16
