Jeff Mills - Exhibitionist - A Jeff Mills Mix Mp3

i was always wondering what those cd players are doing under the table.

If i can get through the first 20 minutes of a mix bobbling my head it means the DJ is really good...and normaly it takes like five to six tracks mixed...In the "Exhibitionist" Jeff Mills goes beyond grabbing me with the mix, he blends a superb selection...better than "Live in Tokyo" IMHO

I understand the view of people that think this Mix is mixed poorly, but really you can't look at the tracks and how well they are blended you have to look at the over all story that is being told. Personally I think the mixing of this CD is one of the best I have ever heard. I think that Jeff Mills is one of the best composers, Artists, DJs, and Pioneers there ever was. The style put into this mix happens to be the best style out there, in my opinion.

This mix is by no means flawless, but there are people like me out there that LIKE hearing a flub up now and then or a pop in a record. While there are some rough spots, there are also some pretty damn rockin ones and listening to how Jeff put together certain tracks gave me ideas for my future sets/mixes.
Definatly a great CD if you're into Jeff.

This mix takes a bit of a different direction to what I would have expected from a Jeff Mills dj mix. There was a LOT of tracks on here that I was somewhat surprised to hear him play. But I guess I shouldn't be too surprised because he shares a passion of playing good music, much like contemporaries May, Francois K, Juan Atkins, etc, and not letting himself be pigeonholed into one sound/style. Which leads me to my next thought. The mix itself doesn't seem to follow any sort of flow, as compared to his "Live At The Liquid Rooms". This mix is a very cool collection of tunes, but I think Jeff could have done a lot better than this.

I assume this was unrehearsed (as usual) and recorded in one take, 'warts and all'.
This is a true picture of the man in the mix pushing the limits of what he can spontaniously achieve with 3 decks & it's pretty staggering, despite the few mistakes.
I'd never seen someone (remain so calm) holding 2 tracks & a 909 in the mix while searching through his record box for a particular tune (not just the next one in the pile) before I saw him play at the Theckla in Bristol on the Purposemaker tour.
There are very few dj's who put in the kind of effort he does, constantly searching for new combinations.
In my experience, the few times I've seen him, he tends to split his sets into two or three 'acts' with their own destinct vibe, you can hear that on this CD as well as the Live @ The Liquid Rooms mix.

I'd like to know other peoples views on this but the mixing on this is a bit dodgy to say the least. One of the tracks jumps at the end three or four time and eventually Jeff just pulls it out the mix.

The whole production seems a bit of a mess. There is even a gap between tracks 10 and 11. I'm surprised they released it as it is.

Awesome tracks though.
