Jeff Mills - Live At The Liquid Room - Tokyo... to be remembered 4 ever

[RDR]

yeah it's really not about the mixing at all
but if you listen there are plenty of subtle moments with 2 copies where he's really got it going on but he's just not making a big deal out of it.

no really what it is, is that the tracks he plays are pretty dull on their own
and mills just brings it all to life and gets it kicking by doubling up , cutting in and out
and splicing musical phrases together in real time to create unique grooves from pretty un-dynamic records

maybe he had more technically perfect nights
but he nailed it with his sheer energetic force of will on this mix.

100% I've said it before and i'll say it again, I am 200000% sure that mills makes mistakes on purpose, not all the time, but the mistakes are toooo regular for a DJ of his calibre to be doing that much. He's said it before that his 3 ring circus is just that he'll use the bass of one record, the middle form another and the treble from another and switch between the two.

for alll the haters i challenge any of them to mix and CREATE which is what he's doing, that well. I dont give a monkeys about mistakes here and there. Its the honesty, dynamism, vitality and funkiness of that performance that shines like so many others fail to do.

Cubism innit, well, almost.

I haven't heard this album in a very long time, but i do remember being blown away by it when i heard it, just never got around to picking up a copy.
