Released on DVD in 2004, this excerpt of ‘Exhibitionist’ perfectly captures the essence of Jeff Mills’ energetic 3 deck live performance.

A true Detroit techno pioneer who, alongside Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May and Juan Atkins, has helped lay the foundations for the electronic music that we enjoy today.

The set-up is simple: 3 Technics turntables, one mixer and a box of vinyl — with tracks mixed in and out in the blink of an eye.

We live in a world of rapidly evolving technology, where Daft Punk pyramids, Sasha custom-built controllers and DJing from devices smaller than a packet of smokes grab the headlines.

We should be thankful of artists like Jeff Mills who continue to remind us of a time when only the music mattered.

I dare you not to be inspired.
