Apart from last week - but hey!! :lol:

If you are refering to the event at Lost, then millsy wasn`t up to scratch.
He railroaded loads of mixes, screwed the EQ`s badly a lot, overdove the limiter on the rig, and his DVD thing didn`t really do anything. So if that is mills living up to his reputation as one of the BEST on the planet then wow, half the DJ`s on the london scene must be gods, cos they blow mills away.

Oh, I see, the foundation thing was last week. Well damn, I mist mills playing vinyl properly, bugger, 2 years of waiting for him to find how to mix again and I miss it. :cry:

The rig wasn't good anyway, so you can attribute half of the "sound issues" to that, as for trainwrecks- didn't hear any myself, the DVD thing is OK, but the 2001 stuff was absolutely spectacular. If you didn't dig it then that's your bad, not Mills', as I haven't heard a better part of a set from him for about 5 years. Completely abstract techno, no fools' fodder, mixed with deadly accuracy in tandem with the film. Don't tell me......not hard enough for you???

[dirty_bass]

Nah, it`s not that it is hard enough, it`s just that I have seen mills play when he derserved his reputation, and now he just doesn`t cut the mustard.
I still love the choice of music he plays, Epic, minimal techno, fantastic, but I dunno what is going on with his mixing anymore.

[Ryan]

He certianly ain't chop-choppety anymore, but he is still head and shoulders above the rest in terms of programming. Most of the night he had at least 2 records in the mix, it's just that his EQ'ing is so subtle that you don't notice what he's doing, it all just melds into one. As I said, I though his set @ Lost was absolutely impeccable in parts, and merely "damn good" in others.

I have heard that he was gash in Newcastle though.

mills 1st la appearance this weekend.. dont think itll be that abstract but hey at least its not trance (which is the norm for where he's playing @ here)

[detfella]

ben 'i don't really even need headphones' sims

and it cracks me up how often i hear about mills trainwrecking when actually he's just nudging and not really caring to be decimal perfect

crap, just contributed to a mills thread... it's a disease
