『デトロイトテクノ・レジェンドが偉大な軌跡を回顧』

今年始めにシリーズ作品「Director's Cut」を始動したデトロイトテクノ/ミニマルサウンドの至宝Jeff MillsがContactに出演決定! 同シリーズの発表を祝して、1992年以降のエレクトロニックミュージックに多大な影響を与えてきた自身のレーベル〈Axis〉の偉大なる功績を自ら振り返る。デトロイトテクノの紛れもないパイオニアであり、その音楽スタイルの新領域を一貫して切り開き続けてきたJeff Mills。90年代、そしてそれ以降に〈Axis〉から発表された作品は、世界中のDJ/プロデューサーが今もなお参考として試金石にするタイムレスな価値観を築き上げた。
近年はCDJを主軸に据えているJeff Millsだが、今回の出演では、かつて自らの腕を磨いてきた音楽媒体であるヴァイナルに回帰し、ターンテーブルを駆使した貴重なセットを披露する。The Wizardとして名を馳せた若かりし時代に培った超絶的なDJスキルが、ふたたび3台のターンテーブル上でマジックを巻き起こすのか!? クラシックと呼ぶにふさわしい名作を振り返るのもさることながら、数えきれない伝説を残してきたJeff Millsの人間離れした技術にも要注目だ。
そして共演にはKen Ishiiが決定! Jeff Millsとのコラボレーショントラックを収めた新アルバムの発表を控える日本のテクノレジェンドが、リリースムードで沸く一夜にさらなる熱狂を扇動する。


「The Detroit techno legend looks back over his mammoth career」

Jeff Mills launched the Director’s Cut series at the start of 2019 as an opportunity to reflect on the hugely influential catalogue he has released on his Axis label since 1992. As one of the undisputed masters of Detroit techno, Mills has consistently broken new ground in the genre, but his releases on Axis throughout the 90s and beyond set a benchmark still followed by DJs and producers the world over.
In celebration of the release of this project, Mills is going to be returning to the medium he honed his craft on as he delivers a rare vinyl set for his appearance at Contact. These days Mills more commonly uses CDJs in his sets, but his highly technical mixing style was honed during his early years as The Wizard, cutting up progressive rock, funk and electro records in the 80s. As he reflects on some of the truly classic pieces in his repertoire, he will equally be reflecting on the particular craftsmanship required to juggle three record decks.
Joining in on the night will be another techno legend, Ken Ishii, who will be in an especially celebratory mood as he anticipates the release of his new album featuring a number of collaborations with Mills.
