2ND DETROIT POST IN A ROW! JEFF MILLS IS OF COURSE ONE OF THE MOST LEGENDARY HEADS IN DETROIT TECHNO HISTORY. THIS WEBSITE POSTED 7 MINDSHATTERING MIXES DONE BY THE WIZARD HIMSELF ON DETROIT RADIO BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 1986 AND 1989. RUNNING BETWEEN GENRES IN A SERIOUSLY SICK FAST AND FURIOUS TURNTABLISM STYLE, THESE WERE ALL DONE LIVE ON THE RADIO AND ARE PRETTY MUCH “AS GOOD AS IT GETS”. I GET INSPIRED LISTENING TO THESE AND I HOPE YOU DO TOO!

THANKS TO DRE SKULL FOR THE HEADS UP ON THIS ONE. AN ARCHIVE OF EVERY BBC RADIO ONE ESSENTIAL MIX EVER RECORDED FROM 1993 TO THE PRESENT. A “WHOS WHO” OF DANCE MUSIC AND A WHOLE LOT OF HISTORY TO DIGEST. HONESTLY I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START OR END ON THIS 1. SO MANY DIFFERENT VIBES ENCAPSULATED IN THESE MIXES AND OF COURSE A LOT OF AMAZING MUSIC. I HAVE BEEN ON SOME UK RADIO SHIT OVER THE PAST WEEK AND BETWEEN THIS AND THE PEEL SHOWS I AM GOING TO HAVE MY EARS FULL IN THE BEST WAY. THE AMOUNT OF MUSIC IS OVERWHELMING BUT THAT IS A GREAT FEELING NO DOUBT.

I THINK THAT MY TWO ALL TIME FAVORITE RADIO DJS ARE FUNKMASTER FLEX AND JOHN PEEL. I REMEMBER LISTENING TO PEEL OVERNIGHT ON THE BBC WORLD SERVICE THAT AIRED ON MY LOCAL PUBLIC RADIO STATION. IT WAS LIKE HE WAS COMBINING ALL OF MY FAVORITE COLLEGE RADIO SHOWS INTO ONE BUT ONLY BETTER AND WITH LOTS MORE SWAGGER. AFTER SOME SERIOUS SEARCHING I FOUND AN AMAZING STASH OF PEEL RADIO RECORDINGS FROM THE 1960S LEADING ALL THE WAY UP TO HIS DEATH IN 2004 (CHECK IT OUT HERE). I’VE BEEN GOING THRU THEM SLOWLY AND REST ASSURED THEY ARE EXTREMELY SPECIAL. ALL STYLES ALL THE TIME AND ABSOLUTELY NO RULES. ALWAYS AHEAD AND ALWAYS SEARCHING – JOHN PEEL.

“MILWAUKEE’S PARTY STATION”
SUMMER OF 94

I WAS JUST A KID BUT I REMEMBER IT WELL. HEAVILY INFLUENTIAL FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. HOT SUMMER NIGHTS IN THE HEARTLAND WITH THE RADIO PUMPING. 1994. AN EARLY GLIMPSE INTO THE THUNDER ZONE.
