Overview
Jeff Mills is a towering figure in electronic music, renowned globally as a DJ, producer, and composer. Often dubbed 'the Wizard,' Mills co-founded the seminal Detroit techno collective Underground Resistance in the late 1980s alongside Mad Mike Banks and Robert Hood, a group that defined a raw, futuristic sound. After departing UR in the early 1990s, he established Axis Records in Chicago in 1992, a label that has since become the primary vehicle for his prolific and boundary-pushing solo output. Mills' influence extends beyond the DJ booth; he has explored filmmaking with works like 'Man from Tomorrow' and 'Life to Death and Back,' the latter shot during a residency at the Louvre Museum. His contributions have earned him significant accolades, cementing his status as a visionary artist whose work continues to shape the landscape of electronic music and beyond.
