Yep, his recent live/dj sets have been amazing by all accounts. 

He's also released a lesser known mini album, Niteroi, that was, and still 
might be available at the Axis web shop, bundled with a concept tshirt.  
Stylistically it's a nice blend between his more recent stuff and Every Dog Has

(313) Mills talking to the Detroit Free Press about his Wizard sets, influence of Motown, etc.

2012-10-12 Thread wojciech
...and Detroit peeps: he's playing at Necto in Ann Arbor this Sunday...

http://www.freep.com/article/20121011/ENT04/310110005

Producer and DJ Jeff Mills is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his
label Axis Records. The Detroit native first became prominent in the
mid-'80s, spinning now-legendary mixes as the Wizard on Detroit radio
station WJLB-FM (97.9). Then he became an international star in
electronic music circles by cofounding the Underground Resistance
techno collective and later starting Axis.

Now based in Chicago, Mills has become one of the world's most coveted
DJs and techno producers. Axis just released Sequence: A
Retrospective of Axis Records, a 320-page photographic book complete
with a 30-track compilation on a USB card.

It shows all the conceptual projects, design schemes, product and
merchandise and a lot of other information, Mills says. This weekend,
he'll revisit his roots and spin a Wizard set at the Necto in Ann
Arbor, where he used to be a resident DJ.

QUESTION: You used to spin at Necto (then known as Nectarine Ballroom)
three night a week in the late '80s. What are some of your memories
from those gigs?

ANSWER: There are many. Until then, I had managed many DJ residencies
in and around Detroit, but it wasn't until securing the Nectarine
Ballroom that I could really try new ideas and experiment with the
audience. With the help of my older brother Dennis, who oversaw the
production, I was able to incorporate various equipment setups and be
more conceptual with the music.

An important aspect was that I was positioned on the dance floor, in
and along with the people. I believe this made the relationship with
the audience much stronger. I remember rushing back from Detroit to
Ann Arbor, because I had to deliver my Wizard radio show to WJLB. I
remember routinely giving hand signals to the lighting engineer, Mad
Hatter, informing him how many minutes I wanted to play at the end of
the party. I remember things like certain people always dancing in the
same position for every party. I remember a Halloween party where I
dressed up as a prisoner and spun the whole night with handcuffs on.
We used to have a lot of fun.

Q: How much planning was required for Wizard sets?

A: There was a lot. Literally the entire day would be spent searching
the record shops and various places for music to play for the show
that evening. When the outlets in Detroit weren't enough, I would
drive to Chicago, Toronto and to other cities get new music.

At WDRQ 93 FM, in addition to my salary, I was given a music-spending
budget. This would allow me to find and grab anything I thought was
worthy of programming. I also had the rare ability to play anything I
wanted -- whenever. This way, there was not a pre-approval period,
which means, music was played on the radio as soon as possible.

All the shows at WDRQ were live. At WJLB, the first few years were
live, but the recording and music equipment technology was getting
better, which allowed me to create more complex shows and multi-track
mixes. With this, I could play more new music in a shorter time span.
Working with these recording machines gave me the idea to start making
the music earlier in the day and playing it live as if it were new
records that just came out.

Competitively, I was quite fierce. When new records would arrive at
record shops, I would go in and buy all the copies so that I would
have the only ones in the city.

Q: What defines a Wizard set for you?

A: A DJ set that encompasses various styles and forms of music. Not
always in a humorous or comical way, but with sincerity and passion.
Even though I was quite young then, I was old enough to know the power
of music. I was aware that if many people heard the right thing at the
right time, it could make a world's difference for the person who made
it.

A Wizard set for me is a DJ set that has the motive of enticing the
listener enough so that he or she would go out and buy the record.
While on the radio, I knew that I only had a small time frame to make
my point, so playing the entire song would have taken up too much
time. A way of quick mixing was something I developed. I would only
play the best parts of the song in order to convince the listener to
want to hear more. Most of the time, it worked.

Q: What elements or techniques have you added to your DJing style?

A: Ironically, I never lost my sense of what I'm doing. I still very
much believe that music is best served hot, so I go through much
effort to make this happen. My objective has not changed and I've
maintained the process, though it's more complex and involves a team
of people. I still hope to bring new things to the listener. ... I'm
still being paid to inform people of new music. For technique, I've
become wiser with my technical skill. I use hand speed and agility
only when it's called for -- not just doing it for the sake of showing
off or battling other DJs.

Technology can only take the DJ so far. It's helpful

 Detroit Techno City: Exporting A Sound To The World
 
 May 27, 2011
 
 by Wills Glasspiegel
 
 Carl Craig says he's always thought of his music as a personal
 beautification of Detroit.
 
 This Memorial Day weekend, techno music and its fans come home — to
 Detroit — for the annual Movement Electronic Music Festival.
 
 Today, most of techno's audience is in Europe. But its futuristic sound
 was nurtured by African-Americans in Detroit in the 1980s. It all
 started in the late '70s, when a Detroit radio DJ named Electrifying
 Mojo put music on the air in a way that had never been heard before in
 the city: Kraftwerk plus Jimi Hendrix; Rick James plus the B52s and
 Phillip Glass – all on a spaceship.
 
 Mojo's sci-fi persona dominated Detroit's urban radio back then. The
 pieces he assembled became the raw materials for techno. Juan Atkins is
 often called the first techno artist. In 1981, Atkins was 19 years-old
 and technology-obsessed. He co-produced a song called, Alleys of Your
 Mind, on a rudimentary drum machine.
 
 Mojo dropped 'Alleys of your Mind' on his radio show and it just blew
 up, Atkins recalls. It was like a breath of fresh air on the radio.
 And nobody knew that this was some black kids from Detroit making this
 record. They thought it was from Europe or somewhere.
 
 Through Mojo's radio show, the alien sounds of techno piqued the
 interest of Detroit natives — but the music's largest audience quickly
 grew in Europe.
 
 I'm fortunate because I exported my business, says Carl Craig, one of
 techno's biggest ambassadors. If I kept it in the U.S., we would have
 failed a long time ago.
 
 In addition to making his own music, Craig runs a record label he
 started two decades ago in Detroit. Last year, it shipped nearly 20,000
 vinyl records out of the city — 70 percent went to Europe. Craig is a
 star in Berlin and Paris.
 
 But in Detroit, his profile is low key, his studio an anonymous bunker
 near a slew of abandoned buildings. You go around the block from here,
 there are buildings [where] the windows are blown out, he says.
 They've been abandoned for 30 years. Craig says he stays in Detroit
 because it's cheap, but the city is also central to his creative
 process. My music has always been for me a personal beautification of
 Detroit.
 
 He's not the only one who sees possibility in the rubble. There's also
 a small but steady stream of techno tourists who visit Detroit.
 We've had several people that have come from Germany, mostly from
 Europe, specifically for the techno scene here, says Nicole Stagg,
 who hosts visitors through www.couchsurfing.org.
 
 They come to see the abandoned factories where techno parties happened,
 and to visit Detroit's techno landmark, Submerge — an iconic label,
 studio, techno museum and record shop on Detroit's east side. Label
 manager Cornelius Harris says Submerge defies the negative trends in
 Detroit and in the music industry itself.
 
 The key with being able to function in Detroit is not to look at what
 it is, but to understand what's possible and to move from that place,
 Harris says. People in music do it all the time. They do it every day,
 which is amazing to me. You've got this thing that doesn't exist and
 you bring it into existence. That's the definition of magic.
 
 One of those musical pieces of magic, Falling Up, by local artist
 Theo Parish, could be a metaphor for Detroit. Parish is a torchbearer
 for his city's music, but he hardly ever plays there. His regular gig
 is at a club called Plastic People — in London.
 
 Marlon Bishop contributed reporting to this story. Both he and
 Glasspiegel are producing a radio documentary on Detroit techno and
 Chicago house for Afropop Worldwide.

 I didn't know the man well, other than a couple of long conversations
 earlier this year on the phone.  I was impressed by his drive to make
 things happen in Detroit, not just for himself, or for Detroit Dance
 Music (though they were things he loved DEEP, second only to his
 family and friends) but the next generations of kids.
 
 Aaron was openly, flamboyantly gay man who came out at a time and
 place where it was a lot easier to stay on the down low.  The Detroit
 dance scene is a lot more open and accepting than the wider culture,
 but it's a brave man who's willing to be honest with the whole world
 the way AC was. Aaron presented himself transcended his sexuality, it
 represented an openness and honesty that's an example for everyone.
 Aaron was genuine, authentic, true, no bullsh*t.
 
 And he was funny as hell too. Inexplicably, he was afraid of trees --
 can you watch this and not laugh?

 I started making music long before I ever tried to DJ, but it was more
 lack of opportunity and not having $1200 to drop on 1200s and a mixer.
  Somehow picking up a synth for a couple hunderd bucks every so often
 was more managable.

 People that DJ first often have an intuitive grasp of what makes a
 good dance track. Whether that starts them down the path to artistic
 excellence is another question.

 One does have to attain some minimal musical knowledge along the way
 though.   I people who have released records who are functionally
 tone-deaf.  I've actually 'music-doctored' a few tracks for them,
 where I had to tell them how to get their chords and basslines in the
 same general key, tune the vocal samples, etc.  And of course, they're
 way more successful than I am.  And I have 2 years of college as a
 music major.

 There is a big difference between DJs who start producing, and DJs who
 hire ghost producers to make tracks for them because they're too busy
 or coked up to learn how to do it properly themselves.  That some weak
 sh*t, and it's remarkably common, especially among the big room techno

 like an industrial track...I wanted to make a cheesy rock song like
 'love is like oxygen' a stomper.  All of the edits I've done have my
 personality built into them, they have many of my signatures: drum
 programming, new or reworked basslines, etc.

     I did these things not to 'improve' them, as they were strong
 tracks to begin with and tracks I liked to start out with.  I did them
 in MY style-creating something for my own DJ sets and the like.

 however I to this point had not done any...most of this has been
 practice for remixing for me.

     And yes, Abelton Live is a GREAT program for mangling and
 re-arranging loops and samples.  The key is the creativity of the user
 with the tool...a chisel in a sculptor's hands rather than in the
 hands of an auto tech I guess.

 And, sadly, there are so many things now that are released that DON'T
 make the cut.  Most are available on mp3.  With that, I say...vote

 The point being, it's great to sample but add something new, make it

Many 313ers write off Mills for being either a has been or little more  
than a hard techno jock, while his more recent productions are a clear  
example that none of these categories are the case, not to mention his  
spectacular recent dj sets.


One Man Spaceship was an excellent album indeed, with moods ranging  
from abstract space jazz (on Final Night of Ambient Light) to near  
peaktime intensity on Life Timed Device, to the classical workout on  
The Great Chase, or the ambient Above the Waiting Worlds.  He keeps  
churning out good product with just about every new release.  Speaking  
of his new releases, have you heard The Sleeper Wakes?

Dear 313,

So, I was looking for something interesting to listen to a few days  
ago and was

really stuck. I needed advice which is why I turn to you.

I was actually on the list many years ago (around 2002-05, I  
think), I do

recognize some names who are still here.

Anyway, since my departure I've swapped the rainy days in the UK  
for the

constant 30 degree heat of Singapore.
Unfortunately while the weather here is much better, the music  
scene... well,

there is no (good) music scene. It's really very depressing.

I realized the best way for me to locate some good music was to  
come back here

and ask the friendly people of 313.

I've been downloading the bleep podcasts, which are great. I've got  
a few beats

in space ones also.
Any important albums from the past 5 years I might have missed :)

 I look at it a little differently.

 Activity on 313 has always been mostly proportional to the amount
 of activity in Detroit -- tracks being released, and of course since
 2000 the annual cycle of the festival.

 Then there is a general but somewhat variable flow of comments
 on music-and-people-that-in-some-way-are-influenced-by-something-
 from-Detroit.

 For a very long time, nearly a decade, 313 activity has mostly
 been people who don't live in Detroit. Dluv and other places are
 where the locals hang.  That's fine, I keep track of both and
 participate more here.  313 continues to be one of the more rewarding
 non-work lists I'm on.

 I also think that continuing as an email-only list has gradually resulted
 in a kind of age-graded participation. Those who came onto the net
 post-email, then post-phpBB, post-MyTribeFace and soon post-Twitter
 are in micro-generations that have no direct connection to the Detroit-
 techno-widely-conceived that has always been the core 313 focus.
 But I also don't see that this is unusual, nor that a lot can be done
 about it.

 And my sense is that 313 will continue for a good long while because
 there is still a critical mass of list subscribers, enough of the Detroit-
 related activity we've always talked about, and, aside from
 occasional waywardness, a not-bad signal-to-noise ratio overall.

 Conclusion: rumors of the death of 313 are greatly exaggerated.

 fh

 PS There's always been a real easy way to gear up a big surge of
 comments on 313, and that is to start a thread on J--- M.  You first.



 -
I don't know about 'over' but perhaps slumbering.  I know that I'm
starting way too many threads relative to other people on the list.

Keep in mind that in the dark days when the 313 list started, people
could subscribe without even having a regular internet connection.  I
think a fair percentage of people on the list were using terminals on
University campuses, and hadn't yet bought a home computer or laptop.

There was no Facebook, Twitter, Message Boards, You Tube, Bit Torrent etc.

Detroit Techno Artists still lived in Detroit, or sometimes Chicago.
They all had their original wives. I know, some of them still do.

Perhaps e-mail lists are a vestigial feature of the Internet now.  I
have to think there is a whole generation who are on the internet
constantly who don't even know what an e-mail list is, at this point.
 When there is a critical mass of active contributors it's still
preferable to me for many reasons too boring to list.

All you have to do to make it die is unsubscribe. Everyone makes that
choice for themselves.

I think some may have missed the posts, but bone expressly asked to not
have the sets dl'ed as he plans to make them all available at once at a

respectable thoughts from the gentleman if I do say. So if the links die
it's probably because someone who didn't read/care about that post
ripping the address and the backend crew moving the file for the
aforementioned resons. He did say they'd be available to dl soon though.

(313) discogs?

2005-06-30 Thread Wojciech
Has anyone else had trouble accessing discogs in the last couple of 
days?




Re: (313) Hello 313, I am....

2005-06-16 Thread Wojciech

name:  Wojtek K. (pronounced Voy-tec)

age: 28

I live in: (now) san fran  (before) sterling heights, MI

I was born in: Poland

Into Detroit since:  about 1999, thanks to a friend who was parting 
with his vinyl and was kind enough to pass on to me such gems as the 
first frictional record, some UR and a Jeff Mills record, that together 
with a trip to a record store some time before then and picking up a 
copy of Phylyps trak2 and I was hooked


Into electronic music since:   the early to mid-80's, hearing Italo and 
other synth music on the radio while at preschool (in Poland)


Starting point on the techno map: Basic Channel


Favorite Live act:  Kraftwerk, after seeing them perform in Detroit, 
and enjoying their presence at the afterparty at oslo.  (who was the dj 
who played last that night btw? he was nixing without headphones, 
played some electro and ghetto-tech, lots of doubles, scratching.  He 
was wearing an aux 88 t-shirt if that's any help)













Re: (313) Buzz Goree mix

During his set in the necto tent at last year's movement, buzz played 
that acapella by itself and the effect was amazing, to say the least

cheers for that.

Well there's an acapella version of Transition in there? (laid over the
top of another track?? or is it just a different version?)

Re: (313) Buzz Goree mix/what is the abandoned building in mono?

2005-04-11 Thread Wojciech
Buzz is playing the acapella over the b-side of windchime, a song 
called abandoned building in mono .   Speaking of that record, isn't 
it the picture of the Michigan Grand Central  Station, the old train 
station close to downtown detroit that has been abandoned since '88 
that's printed on the label has abandoned building on it?
