Might as well.

According to Discogs: "Jeff Mills is one of the biggest American names in techno..."

Mainstream? Maybe. Cheesy? Not really.
Some fav. tunes:

Jeff Mills - Berlin; The Bells
X-103 - Eruption
DJ Hell - Allerseelen (Jeff Mills Remix)

Techno pioneer as far as production goes, techno failure as far as DJ'ing goes.

Man couldn't match a beat to save his soul.

That's one of the most skilled dj I've seen live.

He's coming to Hawaii in June.

Can't wait.

Hawaii doesn't really get banging techno acts, I'm wondering how people are going to take it.

no one can play well under the influence of crack

His DEMF sets are legendarily bad - awful bad. Pathetic.

I've seen him three times, and each time was worse than the last.

Edit: Here's one of the reviews from MWTA of his 2007 closing set:

quote:

*Jeff Mills* It was quite delightful to have everyone in the festival gather around in the Main Stage for the closing set of DEMF. The lighting was sweet, and the energy levels were awesome. Other than that, the last set of the night was pretty pathetic. I appreciate Jeff Mills for being one of the legends of techno, and one would think that he'd be quite the skillful deejay, but no. Beat matching is a word that doesn't exist in Jeff's dictionary. He was unable to beat match ANY track. It's not like he's a moldy old has-been who hasn't played for a decade. I was always under the impression that a deejay can never lose their skill. Perhaps he didn't have any to being with, lol. The transitions were horrid, and it didn't help that one of the speakers were mangled. Track selection was jibberishly put together. It was quite brutal

The ones on the local forums were even worse. People really didn't hold back.

I've never seen him play live, but I've listened to a few of his sets. I generally like his stuff, and I've always heard really good things about him. I don't know if there's any truth to this, but I've heard from an opening DJ, he can beat-match any track flat out in 9 seconds....he's really good with the ears.
