From the interview ---
“And What About The Truth” was dedicated for Americans because I think we live very complex lives compared to other industrialized countries. We're a country with very little civil security, a lack of individual responsibility, an apparent and growing lack of respect for others and what they believe, and a notion that what we believe is a majority consensus that is the absolute truth. Could there be a chance that Americans are not as educated and advanced about life as we think we are? Perhaps Americans talk more then we listen. Maybe we talk more to make ourselves feel more educated. Whatever the case, I think that by using the advertising of parties and releases with such a title makes people think about it, the subject of truth.
Jeff certainly speaks his mind. Awesome. |

'Basic NYC Presents Jeff Mills'
BY KRISTAL HAWKINS
Before "minimal" meant German plink-plonk, it meant Mills: Stripped-down, cold, hard, and relentless. He first gained notoriety with his sets as the Wizard on the Electrifying Mojo radio show and as part of Detroit's legendary Underground Resistance, going on to found Axis Records, and seal his legend status at Tresor and the Limelight. He's produced a new score for Fritz Lang's Metropolis and collaborated with the Montpelier Philharmonic, but tonight showcases him at his best: Behind three turntables, quick-mixing the best bits of a bunch of records he'll swiftly toss in a disordered pile. With Jordan Luckett and residents Sleepy & Boo. |

Think I'm going to this as my previous plans just changed.... I don't agree with all his points and opinion, but rock on to him for stating them! Certainly, the type of "American" he's dedicating his sociological view to is not the type that pays $20 to get into Sullivan Room, much less most underground venues in New York City. We are a different breed, he's sorta preaching to the choir :) If he were playing at Pacha still, I'd say, "Sure, enlighten them!!!"
Looking forward to it though! |
