Hello techno seekers, this is a special post, it is always special when it is about Jeff Mills, someone who definitely comes from another dimension of sound, the best dimension ever, the Detroit pure and unique luxury sound that we all recognize
The thing is that, some chapters ago, Jeff started the “The Director’s Cut Reissues” a series of releases that are bringing sonorus bases to techno music again, delivering a wide range of rhythms and sounds of his old tracks, to this era.
Now is time for the the sixth chapter (The Bells) of the saga, and this one is dedicated to his anthem The Bells. First released as part of the Kat Moda PM002 EP on the Purpose Maker label in 1997, the original track is remastered and available now again.

This version of The Bells captures an unforgettable live moment where electronic music met classical in an unprecedented way. History revisited, but Mills leads back to present & future as well; the previously unreleased The Homosapiens Sapiens is a Sci-Fi affair, created especially for this chapter of Directors Cut.”
