Wow, what an intense night Thursday was with Jeff Mills in town (yes, he made it). His flght was over 5 hours late, which made for quite the interested (and very stressfuly night) for me. He did fly in around 12:15 AM, and we brought him straight to the club, where he then threw down an absolutely INTENSE 1.5 hr set... I have not seen him play since about 1993, and this set was beyond inspiring and motivating. I know some folks were texting their friends saying Mills was not going to make it... to those of you who did not come out, for shame. Jeff's set consisted of 3 turntables, 2 cdjs, a 909, and probably the most forward thinking musical mind in techno EVER! I was only able to watch the last 20 minutes of the set, but what I witnessed was mind-blowing (to say the least). He had at least 2 tracks going at all times, and often 3 to 4 dropping in and out and a mind-numbing pace. Remixing tracks on the fly by bringing in certain frequencies from various tracks. The highlight by far, however, was his last 6-8 minutes using the 909 drum machine. He played that thing like Jimi Hendrix played the guitar. I have never seen any electronic performer know and use any kind of instrument the way Mills did that 909. He knew that machine inside and out, and used every ounce he could pry from it. Words can in no way describe what I saw him do with that machine. Next time we bring him to town we have to put a camera on him and project it, just so people can watch what he does.

Everyone kept asking me what he was like... Jeff is very mello and quiet, but about as nice as an be. He was very happy to have made it into town, and enjoyed the time he had playing at Foundation.

I was a bit bummed more people were not out, but the crowd that was there was rocking and 'avin it! Thanks to all of you who came out and supported! Richie Hawtin, Dj Icey, and Stellar Spark coming up soon, and PVD in 2 weeks! See y'all out soon
