Jeff Mills Review......my 20 cents worth

[Drexciyan]

Just putting my opinion forth referring to this topic of the Mills review - 30/2/01

"The next set was a little ordinary, I thought. It contained all ingredients for a percussive Wet Musik set however it lacked a certain fortified funk, and didn't blend with Jeff very well."

The dj that is being referred to is Damien Laird, and i have a totally different take on that set, he is if not Melbournes finest, track selection, superb, mixing skills, seamless. This guy definately knows how to play a nice deep interesting and in my opinion extrememely danceable set. Which i believe fit in perfectly just before Mr Mills. It had all the write elements of a great techno/electro. Just because we dont hear these sounds as much as the usual regurgitated @!#$ doesnt mean its ordinary.......if damien laird reads inthemix, i want to say.....me and a whole lot of ppl were loving ur set.....education thats what its all about:)

this post was in no way meant to offend but was just to give readers a different take on a set and to up talk someone who deserves more credit that he is given.

peace out

hehe in my little hissy fit i wrote a few sentences that read wrongly

The dj that is being referred to is Damien Laird, and i have a totally different take on that set, he is one of Melbournes finest djs if not the Finest!.

Track selection - superb, mixing skills - seamless.

another mistake

It had all the "right" elements of a great techno/electro set.


NB: read before u post *LOL*

I agree. Because Damian played a diverse set of house through to electro it allowed Jeff to play a more diverse set without being obligated to spin straight-up hard techno (which is fine by the way).

I thought it was an excellent move and the momentum was really good.

I think the second night was always going to be for the Jeff Mills diehards who understand that Mills has many sides to him. It was one of the best gigs I have attended for ages.

Go Drex. Whoever wrote that article certainly like to use the word funk... Funk this, funk that...

yes I do like using the word funk...hehehe.....sorry...but I thought Millsey was funky. As a reviewer, one always steps on peoples toes, even though I try hard its always going to be my subjective opinion Besides...praising people is all and good, but if we all did that all the time wouldnt it get a little boring? from Athena
