Jeff Mills

saw this video posted on another forum,

in response to a video posted of a couple dudes making a 909 beat.

thought it was awesome!

i love his tunes and i've always heard Jeff Mills is amazing live but damn...

the man is serious about techno.

now i've never programmed the roland 909 so tell me,

is he programming those drums on the fly like i think he is?

edit: gotta say it makes me laugh seeing all those people jump around like loonies

probably because i do the same when i go to shows :x

This is what he has been doing for years, Djing along side a 909, at one point he used a mc303

i couldn't sit through that... live drum-machine performances are so limited

that's really cool, i assume most reserve their 909 for studio use rather than playing it out?

it looks like he's doing really quick pattern edits while its rolling along..

and the synths that finally come in at 6:00 just kill!

Im not going to watch the video but I just want to say Jeff Mills is the fucking man. I had one of his records before I knew watch techno was.

I don't think there is any synths involved, it's probably just from records, i dunno not sure. Plastikman has/does performances with just 909 or 808, that's not so good IMO

Wicked!

he uses the 909 like no other, he's like the jimi hendrix of the 909. i love his music!!

another great take:

his face at 4:07 is priceless

Watching first video just got me really hyped

Love Jeff Mills !

For any who don't know, "Live at the Liquid Room" is really IT.

909 wardrums

yeah jeff mills is great, really enjoyed that but i think that much of a 909 drum machine (or 808) would drive me mad, id like to see him to that but with different sounds or editing the sounds to make them less harsh (but thats also part of appeal) feel like listerning to liquid rooms now, haven' listened to it in a while.

I'd much prefer to watch someone bouncing like a twat behind a laptop.

i agree that it would drive me mad too. but still, it takes a lot of nerve to just jam out on a 909 in front of a room full of people who want to dance. bet he feels like jimi hendrix on a solo.

i was actually agreeing with you.

were you being sarcastic??

i gotta be the douche, damn, this is garbage!

it only takes watching some good dj scratching a vinyl or even tim exile making stupid live tunes to get to the conclusion that this "909 jam bullshit" doesn't have any value at all.

sorry

Jeff Mills is great but that 909 set is nothing special, get over it.

Hey guys, look at that retro 909! Pretty cool that he brings that monster on the stage.

Still bummed out that the only time I had the chance to see him (at Dour this summer) he stopped his set after 20 minutes because of some moronic drunk Belgian throwing a plastic beer cup at him. Those 20 minutes were great though... Hope to see him again soon.

Retro seems a bit misplaced for someone like Mills though, did he ever stop using that 909 in his livesets? Not sure, I'm not a huge follower :)

Retrofit, maybe?
