This is the best of dance music........the peak in all its beauty,wonder and energy. Not even Jeff himself can repeat this nowadays. This is a document for all of time
Jeff Mills, the master of Techno. Look at his amazing mixing skills. Most djs these days couldn't even mix this fast with cd's or mp3's. True legend, pioneer of electronic music. Check out his waveform transmission albums!
This a what a genius is like on the decks! An absolute legend & pioneer of techno. His skills as a proper DJ are undeniably the best in the business. His hands are working so fast that his brain must be way ahead of what he’s doing. Simply fantastic. WIZARD. ✌️🙌✌️
jeff’s shiteating grin at 5:10 when he drops “changes of life” makes my heart swell with joy every time i watch this clip. an artist, a genius, an almost messianic figure at the peak of his powers, splattering those warbley sickly piano stabs on harsh metal like the most beautiful bird on the windshield of a souped up impala going 120 on the autobahn. god bless you jeff mills. live long and prosper
J'y étais à cette soirée de malade au cherry, je venais découvrir Jeff...J'avais acheté les cassettes de la soirée(que j'aies encore d'ailleurs), mémorable!!!!!
To clarify some incorrect information posted in these comments, "The Bells" was not recorded in 1997. It was perhaps given the name "The Bells" in 1997 however, from around 1994, when Mills began playing it, the track was simply known as "Untitled A" and is credited as such on "Live At The Liquid Room."

I posted this link before but I couldn't see my comment unless I'm logged into my youtube channel. Hopefully it gets noticed by replying to you sry.
Quelle soirée, j'avais acheté les 3 K7, me reste une, celle du mix de Jeff.... C'était au Cherry Moon... Ah les Rave Explosion.. Une autre terrible soirée a suivi avec Richie Hawtin, John Aquaviva...MEMORABLE!!!
KILLING IT!! I've been very fortunate to see him many times in the '90's at parties around Europe (In particular around the Netherlands).. Always knew when he was playing; his style is so distinct!! Never disappointed, always creative, and pedal to the metal! A setlist for this video would be awesome!! But, does anyone know the track he plays after Boris Schmidt's "Plot ii"?? Knockin' my socks off; really would love to know what track that is!!
@@BeatBandit77 Yep. Maybe a bit too fast, but it was the trend to pitch everything up back then. Whatever happens the tunes were much better (in my opinion) whether they were fast or slow. Unfortunately, the minimal (boring yawnfest) side of things took over shortly after this and has never really looked like it's gone away. I like the hard, madder stuff though. It has true gusto and feeling :-)
@@tnt90s There's only one thing to comment: I agree totally in everything you wrote. I also can remember that most of the finest harder tracks in the mid 90s were pitched up to +6/+8. Mostly I was a little bit sad about that, because in my opinion that awesome tracks had lost a little bit of their groove then, but this is a question of everyones personal taste of harder Techno sounds! ;) So far I can remember, we called it Roadrunner-Techno... I'm from Germany, and my homebases in this area were Warehouse/Cologne (the old one) and Omen/FFM.
Unbelievable how 'fast' he mixes one record into another. Sick legend but very harsh on his records lol, look how he literally throws it at his recod bag at 6:16.
Saw him 1999 on a "Psycho Thrill" - Party at ArtTheatre in Cologne and there he was giving away a lot of records he played before. -Very nice give-aways! ;) So, don't worry - I think he has for sure a plenty of copies of the records he plays.
Some guy has recently uploaded a high quality version of this set on mixcloud. www.mixcloud.com/sebastiano-dosi/the-source-live-jeff-mills-laurent-garnier-rave-explosion-iii-wieze-22101993-part-1/ There's a part one and two to this, part one there's a dj that precedes Jeff, and Laurent Garnier plays after Jeff in part two. I suspect there's still a part of this set missing, but I was surprised to find a version of a higher quality than the one that already exists, I remember when I couldn't find this on the internet at all.
Heyyy i'm the uploader. LDJM on mixcloud has recently uploaded another version of this Rave Explosion III mix, which features Jeff's complete set. Me and a few technoheads have been trying to id all the tracks in the mix, we got at least 90% of them. You can check that on the relative mixesdb .com page.
There are still real DJs (and there always will be), it's just that you won't find them in Mixmag top 10 DJs or whatever. You'll definitely find them underground, though.
@amstelredamme new for me 1990 ...i well check ...thers also a other video from this moment , event with good soundquality where you can see me filming Jeff Mills , filmed by Seal Phuric the ambient producer ....but this video is still not online ....
There were always bad DJs. And to be completely honest, in all of the events I've been to in a really long time, I hadn't heard a _really_ bad DJ. I do hand pick my events, though. And there's still many visionaries and DJs/live acts pushing the art (look at what Chris Liebing is doing, KiNK, James Zabiella). In all honesty, I've never liked the music better than now, and I've been going to parties for 15+ years. Nostalgia is a tricky thing, and it's really hard to objectively view the past.
TEchno isnt dead but nowadays it looks like house at higher bpm's. The great techno years were from 1993 to 2001. Great partys then and great sound. Now techno has no agressive punch. Looks almost like baby music :s
@roberspcksan : It means for me that Jeff Mills had created the track " The Bells " well before his official release in 1996. The vinyl which it plays has to be a only copy to the world. He is moreover color "gold" ! :)

Real dj, with 100 full concentration all the set. No the djs of today all the set drinking and hands up
This a what a genius is like on the decks! An absolute legend & pioneer of techno. His skills as a proper DJ are undeniably the best in the business. His hands are working so fast that his brain must be way ahead of what he’s doing. Simply fantastic. WIZARD. ✌️🙌✌️
Simply the best... 🙏
I remember that set like it was yesterday! I was just behind him having a talk with Claude Young and K-Hand! :-D Fabulous night!
This is how I spend the 90s. A truly amazing time to be alive. No camera phones, the happy, no pretense vibe. And of course the pills were great too.

+Ron Mckenzie So, 1993 then! Assuming the date is correct. Thanks for the link.
No problem, and thank you
Mills was playing the bells for about 6 years before it was released
He was playing it at the VOX LOST in London 92/93
That is right
Thanx for this great moment of good music!!!

Nostalgie nostalgie...

He was a real techno machine.. was big fan
Almost forgotten how hard he used to play! These were the days :-)
... hard and fast -sometimes a little bit to fast (for me) maybe... -but never to hard! :)

timeless
Nostalgia!!!! :(....but Mr. Mills is still one of the best of all time!!
Mills how he used to be, circa 1993, Lost @ the Vox, Brixton. So many f**kingly stupid awesome times.
We love you Jeff
this is a REAL Rave Explosion !!!!!
Que aprendan los nuevos djs lo que es pinchar techno, grande Jeff
...wow...!!!!
bellissimo!!!
makes want to invent a time machine to be there...
Unbelievable how 'fast' he mixes one record into another. Sick legend but very harsh on his records lol, look how he literally throws it at his recod bag at 6:16.
a man with a plan... :)
I think he has a plenty of copies because after set like this record is unusefull.i think hahaha master
Saw him 1999 on a "Psycho Thrill" - Party at ArtTheatre in Cologne and there he was giving away a lot of records he played before. -Very nice give-aways! ;)
So, don't worry - I think he has for sure a plenty of copies of the records he plays.
Jeff Mills, king of techniks !!
The track`s called "D.N.A." from the " Waveform Transmissions Vol 1" album.
The absolute Blueprint for a Techno Deejay. Today's Techno Deejay charlatanism is an insult ;)
Some guy has recently uploaded a high quality version of this set on mixcloud.

he is the best. 3:20 on is skills, no one could pull it off, sure they could mix it but wouldnt ave the same energy!
Yeah Jeff had a gold disc of The Bells for himself only for years before it was released!
the best dj in the world
World Power Aliance
Thank you so much Stef; I really appreciate it!!
Just find the right people, the right party and you can have the same sick parties as back in the days.
There are still real DJs (and there always will be), it's just that you won't find them in Mixmag top 10 DJs or whatever. You'll definitely find them underground, though.
There is a tape recording of this set btw. Less distorted. @ Rave Explosion III
Now THAT is techno!
Now this is old good JEff..Just like Liquid room..5
Truly mad. I love it.
great composer
Thanks mate
yeahh... back in the day when jeff mills was entertaining!!!
anyone seen him recently?
First track he's playing is "Step to enchantment"
Thanks man!!!
@amstelredamme new for me 1990 ...i well check ...thers also a other video from this moment , event with good soundquality where you can see me filming Jeff Mills , filmed by Seal Phuric the ambient producer ....but this video is still not online ....
I know it's been 8 long years but... did you find that second video? :)
Good old days, i was there too!!
Oh man, that's a graal, can't wait for it !!
Playing The Bells in 1994!

Part of this set is out there but I wish I could find all of it
se escucha de pena, pero lo que se escucha es mejor que lo de hoy en dia.
En el 93 agradece que se escuche... En el 2010 tenía un LG recién comprado y los vídeos se veían y escuchaban peor que esto...
cherry moon!!!!

Jeff Mills - Changes Of Life
it's because mills haven't released the bells at that time but he has produced it
@roberspcksan : It means for me that Jeff Mills had created the track " The Bells " well before his official release in 1996. The vinyl which it plays has to be a only copy to the world. He is moreover color "gold" ! :)
excellent!
the tune at 4:05 is "the bells" 1997!!!
Nope - was op Rave Explosion III in de oktober hallen in Wieze. Volgens google was dat op 22 oktober 1993 ;)
Jeff Mills,,Speedy J,,,Oliver Lieb,,,,,,,,,,,MASTERS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
3:25 near deck. Is that a dubplate?
good old times :D
True handcraft... Like watching sports
nice apollo slipmat, great label.
Wow, he's so fast. I'd be tired in a minute :-)

Jeff Mills - The Bells
Nostalgic

I believe "The Bells" was played by Mills on a white label for years before he officially released it
good old Rodec mixer :)
Crazy vid!! True History:-)

Fire
Madness!)
yyyyyyyyyeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrr

@killermiller6666 that has to be an acetate...mills actually finished that track years before the final release came out!
I'm sure the first track is- one step to enchantment - the mecca ep? axis?
Yes, that's correct...
Ele é foda!!!
