Mills now has a wrench set, rally jackets and driving gloves in the axis merchandise range. There's no direct link just check the new releases in the shop section.

Well, that is what a lot of artists are doing in order to make a quid in an industry that isnt making money selling tunes as most music is pirate. It goes undere the banner of value adding or diversification....

I would have bought a Rally jacket & gloves back in the days when I used to race....hehehe....cool.

Haha I would never use American steel wrenches. They would break in a week.
Only Finnish/German steel tools are usable.
Good idea nevertheless... But he forgot to write what diameters the wrenches are.

So what is the story? Jeff has gotten into Nascar?

**Miromiric** · 26-04-2006, 10:15 AM

how about swedish steel? volvo is the only car i would drive in on highways .

**Si the Sigh** · 26-04-2006, 10:17 AM

Safe...

**holotropik** · 26-04-2006, 10:18 AM

Wouldnt buy the wrenches either as they would only fit US made junk and not any of the cars in the rest of the world .

frederic gave me this little axis newsletter back in 2003 and there was an advert for this sandals
ok, i was a bit "wtf" but then again hehe why not :cheese:

same thing going on in other music styles for years
when you dont get enough money from music
you invest in something else
whats wrong with that??

you can always remember catalogues 10 years ago in every ID&T cd too
with bunch of merchandise, mainly shirts, lighters, caps...
things you use every day

There are Plus8 condoms.

Luka: Volvo are great cars but they are not made of Swedish materials.

:thumbsup:

Though I think I will buy this one:

And of course:

**dirty_bass** · 26-04-2006, 01:11 PM

yeah yeah, man needs to earn and crust and that.
But I dunno, after all his philosophical waffle he comes out with, this just stinks of blatant capitalism.
Horrible horrible merchandising.

When will we get the jeff mills computer game?
Run around detroit, finding gigs in the old days.
enter the warehouse, see how many copies of the bells you can keep spinning at once.
Fight off any competition by re-releasing the same record again and again and again.
End of level boss is dave clark, who you have to out poncify in a most pretencious interview competition.
Weapon bonuses: 909. 909. 909 and a 808.

**Buttman** · 26-04-2006, 01:39 PM

good one ;)

**conflict** · 26-04-2006, 01:52 PM

i still dont see the big deal

bunch of pussies

**Conan** · 26-04-2006, 04:53 PM

Well it's not a big deal its just a bit funny that Mills a very serious and philosophical techno producer now has a wide range of merchandise. Pencil sets, wrenches, sandles and gloves etc.... There is definitley something funny their, or maybe this will all be needed when we move to mars and all this stuff will be vital when we get there?

And don't give me that bollox about him making a crust! The chap gets nearly 7 grand sterling to play in some places so he's not strapped for cash. I'm not complaining about that and fair play to him and i know he probably wants to expand the brand but all this merchandise is a little overkill IMO. Maybe if he was more concerned with the quality of his tracks and his mixes this wouldn't be problem but from what I can see his focus has changed a little that's all.

He drops stings of life, the bells and nights of the jaguar nearly every night and gets good money to do it. I would feel like I was cheeting people if i was doing that. I know thats what some people want from Mills but fuk that I'd make sure I was keeping my sets fresh as possible for that money.

Again I want to say that I'm a huge fan of Mills' but loyalty can only last so long when what you like him for is slowly dissapearing. The sets of his i've seen have been dubious and his last decent record was .................. a good while ago considering how much average music he's put out.

This is his new purpose maker release, would be interesting to see what you think of this.......... take into consideration all the other purpose makers that have been releases as well.
