Jeff Mills Live at The Liquid Room, Tokyo
Jeff Mills and Underground Resistance were to techno what Public Enemy were to Rap.
Begun in the late 1980s by Jeff Mills and “Mad” Mike Banks and then later joined by Robert “Noise” Hood, UR were a militarised unit that made politically charged Detroit Techno. Dressed in uniforms with skimasks and black combat suits, they were ‘men on a mission’, aiming at giving techno more content and meaning
Mills never ‘officially’ left UR but set up his own Axis Records in 1992 to chowcase a more minimal style. He became legendary for his incredible DJ sets which would use three decks, a Roland 909 drum machine and over 70 records an hour.
The best example of this is the ‘Live at The Liquid Rooms’ album recorded in 1990. Not only is it showcase to Mills’ exceptional talent but also is one of the first techno recordings through which you can hear the crowd reaction adding to the intensity.
