Jeff Mills engineers time as a variable, not a constant. In his hands, rhythm becomes a matrix, its parameters often reprogrammed mid-flight to bypass boredom and linearity. His label, Axis, operates as a production node, issuing modular releases with built-in redundancy, each a piece of futuristic techno-art. Every project, from Sleeper Wakes to his orchestral works, is wired, sequenced and triggered by the same logic. An inertial system that stabilises the output but never allows it to become stagnant. The four-to-the-floor signal does not linger, it is verified, executed and incorporated into new forms, new entities. The effect is not spectacle, but controlled initiation. Every time Mills delivers a set, he is executing sequences — data streams that reconfigure mood, tempo and memory. In his world, sound becomes operational, yet every dancer is in tune with the music, swaying rapidly but delicately to the world of machinery. Jeff Mills? The real get down.
