Both tilted on the more conceptual side of his back catalogue.įlying Machines was produced with the intention of evoking the thrill of flying. We’ve just shared with you two tracks from the producer, track 4 from the Chronicles Of possible worlds project and Flying Machines. Track 1: Chronicles Of Possible Worlds (track no.31) from Track 2: Flying Machines (track no.27) from If you’ve just joined us, hello and welcome along to the ‘Outer Limits’ show, where we’re going back through the archives of Jeff Mills on Axis. When listening to the tracks you could indeed tie the two artists together – layers of hypnotic sound structures referencing the evocative illusions of Vaserley’s work. The dance took place in the Southern French region of Aix-en-Provence at the Foundation Vasarely, a space dedicated to one of the creators of optical art, Victor Vasarely. The song was made to integrate with a group of dancers wearing wireless speakers within their costumes. Taken from the ‘Chronicles Of possible Worlds’ album and simply titled track 4. Which leads us onto the first track of the show. He’s also widely recognized for his contribution to film and performance dance. Considered one of the most influential figures in electronic music, Jeff has released over 40 albums and thousands of hours of music. The architecture and installations he saw there kick started a life-time obsession with the themes of space and futurism which inform so much of his work. But his artistic epiphany occurred years before at the famous Expo 67 festival in neighbouring Montreal. Initially influenced by hip-hop as well as the futuristic synth stylings of Kraftwerk, Gary Numan and Visage he later went on to become one of the founding members of the Detroit Techno collective Underground Resistance. Born in Detroit in 1963, Jeff first made his name as a radio DJ on the station WDRQ. But in this show we’ll be exploring all the tracks in their entirety start to finish. Techno is still largely heard by the public in edited form, mixed from one track into other and beat matched. Plus un-released and rarely heard music from the archives. Delving into releases on Axis as well as sub-label Purpose Maker. But for this episode we’re going to be focusing on tracks from the label’s founder Jeff Mills. Now in it’s 25 th year, the label has proved itself as one of the most forward thinking Techno imprints, releasing music from artists such as Robert Hood, Hieroglyphic Being, Sub Space & more. Introduction: Hello I’m your host Moxie & welcome along to “The Outer Limits”, the first in a four part series where we’ll be exploring the back catalogue of Axis.

Considering the varied sources from which Mills has taken the tracks that make up the retrospective, however, it stands to reason that few will have a majority of its contents.
