you're all crazy... mills is a v influential figure in techno. you gotta respect him. he's making some cash - whatever - what is wrong with making money?. he's not forwarding techno imho.. but i love him. he was a big part of my life.

[eyeswithoutaface]

we respect that marky, thats obvious i think, but come on.... i think ANYONE in music putting out such non-music based merchandise would get ribbed, its hilarious, really, imagine Glenn Wilson Barometers, or Marco Bailey Carp Rods, or Kraftwerk Frozen Cup Drinks.... or Dj Ribbz Eyelash Extensions or whatever

to be honest they are such weird items i doubt the average mills fan would be interested in them anyway, and he might not make much at all on them

the respect is a side issue really, no one is above a bit of mickey taking, especially for such a venture :)

its great

you love everyone
why should we listen to you?

if the bloke down the road made a shitty old synth in his garden shed that never worked you'd love him for it.

probably

Marco Bailey Carp Rods

hahahaha
I want some of that shit

[loopdon]

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.

this is superb :)

i really don't know what makes the bells so special to him. i mean if i had done that one myself i think i'd be sick of even hearing it mentioned. he has this blue potential or sth. dvd coming out - with an orchestra or sth. guess what - the bells is on that as well - sick.
i mean i'd feel weird making classically trained musicians play that shizzle. who's he think he is :techno:

no problem with that kind of marketing but as you said it really doesn't go hand in hand with the philosophical bullshit he utters...

[The Overfiend]

You all are just cranky because you got no ass/pussy for the latest two years. =)

Speak for yourself Manatee humper.

And if he wants to do racing jackets and wenches then so be it
For all we know he's probably into racing these days
Albeit an expensive sport but thats probably why he did it.
Wrench quality this and that, it's a novelty.
When bands have t-shirts and posters its called marketing.
Why player hate someone making money.
Adam Beyer makes a ton of money playing out, still makes quality music, and I am sure he made some change off the Drumcode slipmats and tshirts. Is he not keeping it real anymore?

[Aratron]

very pretentious
the logical progression of the ego of 99% of most dj and artists.

ah ha ha ha! :lol:

The best post ever! :cheese:

Sam is right.. Why is it OK for e.g. Downwards to make 5 different t-shirts but not OK for Axis to make socket wrenches?
Clothing has no more to do with music than car-racing does.

[holotropik]

Actually car racing has a lot more to do with car racing than you think. Its all about harmonics, balance, tuning, focus and intent. I know that music has much in common with racing, I have lived with both for a very long time...

Anyway, who cares what he does with HIS business. There are many out there who diversify their music business and lifestyle and dabble in many things. Some just choose to sell drugs to kiddies, some choose to sell slipmats to kiddies....whatever.

[holotropik]

I must add that I have renounced racing about 10 years ago (having competed for 20yrs prior) and lead a lifestyle with far less carbon emissions now. Techno was the perfect substitution for the head-space I had while racing.

"Actually car racing has a lot more to do with car racing than you think"

I refuse to believe that.

[holotropik]

yep...ok.

[koma]

he's not forwarding techno imho...

well I believe he already did enough for it, didnt he? in the way none of us will...

Why player hate someone making money

its usually coming from those that can't make it.
I mean, he's not like Tiesto or some proggy plonkers, non stop in the media, earning money for playing shyte etc
he's making money outside music. why would the music be the only thing he does in life? cause thats underground, thats real techno attitude? bollocks...

damn, I wonder what would people say if they knew some techno DJ's are into porn industry.
if I had a money to invest, I'd do the same, coz thats where the money lies. porn. :cheese:

i really don't know what makes the bells so special to him. i mean if i had done that one myself i think i'd be sick of even hearing it mentioned. he has this blue potential or sth. dvd coming out - with an orchestra or sth. guess what - the bells is on that as well - sick.
i mean i'd feel weird making classically trained musicians play that shizzle. who's he think he is

special to him? or special to those who are still buying that record? those who want to hear it on a party? not that is my favourite, but the track did passed the test of time. and if he got the chance to work with an orchestra, why not? the way I see it, its one more thing due to which people might stop looking on techno as drug addicts music.
plus, dont know if you heard it, but its good.

at least every track of his sounds pretty different from the others in his catalogue. most producers today are releasing bunch of records every year, that sound the same.
and then we wonder why those records arent selling lol

Well everybody who listens to techno wears t-shirts but not all of them are into car racing.

Nobody is hating on the chap for making money, it's just funny that he is now selling wrenches, racing gloves and jackets thats all.

And from a business point of view it isn't a very good move, How many people are going to buy these products?

Adam bayer still makes good tunes and is a good Dj, can the same be said for Mills?
