Timeline

1927

Mills has previously completed work highlighting Lang's career, including composing, performing, and releasing a soundtrack to Lang's 1927 silent film Metropolis, releasing the soundtrack in 2000.

Mills became involved in film with the help of French filmmaker Jacqueline Caux.

He helped Caux produce the film Man From Tomorrow, a documentary about techno music that featured Mills.

He continued in the film industry with the release of the independent film Life to Death and Back which he shot in the Egyptian wing of the Louvre Museum in France, the same museum where he had a four-month residency.

1929

The set was performed with four turntables to create a cinemix soundtrack for Woman in the Moon, the 1929 silent film from Fritz Lang.

The set was performed during a screening of the film at the center.

1963

Jeff Mills (born June 18, 1963, in Detroit, Michigan), also known as "the Wizard", is an American DJ, record producer, and composer.

1980

In the late 1980s Mills founded the techno collective Underground Resistance with fellow Detroit techno producers 'Mad' Mike Banks and Robert Hood but left the group to pursue a career as a solo artist in the early 90s.

1981

A 1981 graduate of Mackenzie High School, Mills started his career in the early 1980s using the name "the Wizard".

He performed DJ tricks like beat juggling and scratching during his sets, some of which were pre-recorded.

He had a nightly show as the Wizard at WDRQ and later at WJLB under the same name.

He would highlight local techno artists, giving light to artists such as Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson and Juan Atkins.

In his early career, Mills managed numerous residencies in the Detroit area.

He credits The Necto as the residency where he was able to experiment with new ideas in techno music.

Mills played The Necto where he began incorporating concepts such as different equipment setups, including positioning himself on the dance floor with the people.

For his radio DJ spots, Mills had a music spending budget to use for his sets.

Mills would also drive as far as Toronto or Chicago in order to purchase newly released music.

Mills is a founding member of Underground Resistance, a techno collective that he started with former Parliament bass player 'Mad' Mike Banks.

The group embraced revolutionary rhetoric and only appeared in public dressed in ski masks and black combat suits.

Mills never "officially" left the group, but did begin to pursue his own ventures outside of the collective.

1991

Many of Underground Resistance's labelmate's early releases were the product of various experiments by Banks and Mills, both solo and in collaboration, before Mills left the collective in 1991 to achieve international success as a solo artist and DJ.

The collective continues to be a mainstay of Detroit's music scene.

UR related the aesthetics of early Detroit Techno to the complex social, political, and economic circumstances which followed on from Reagan-era inner-city economic recession, producing uncompromising music geared toward promoting awareness and facilitating political change.

UR's songs created a sense of self-exploration, experimentation and the ability to change yourself and circumstances.

Additionally, UR wanted to establish a means of identification beyond traditional lines of race and ethnicity.

Another form of UR's rebellion concerns the rejection of the commercialization of techno.

This is evident in the messages scratched in UR's records, lyrics and sounds expressing economic independence from major record labels.

Mills left Underground Resistance in 1991 to pursue his own ventures.

He relocated from Detroit, first to New York, then Berlin (as a resident at the Tresor club), and then Chicago.

1992

Mills founded the Chicago based Axis Records in 1992, which is responsible for the release of much of his solo work.

Mills has received international recognition for his work as a DJ and producer.

He featured in Man From Tomorrow, a documentary about techno music that he produced along with French filmmaker Jacqueline Caux.

He continued working in film, releasing Life to Death and Back, a film he shot in the Egyptian wing of the Louvre Museum where he also had a four-month residency.

There in 1992, with fellow Detroit native Robert Hood, he set up the record label Axis, and later, sub-labels Purpose Maker, Tomorrow, and 6277, all aiming for a more minimal sound than most of the techno being produced in those years.

2006

Mills released Blue Potential in 2006, a live album of him playing with the 70 piece Montpelier Philharmonic Orchestra in 2005.

The album was a remix for classical interpretation, following musical acts such as Radiohead.

2013

In 2013, he released Where Light Ends, an album inspired by the Japanese astronaut Mamoru Mohri and his first trip to space.

2015

Mills performed a live set in January 2015 at the Jewish Community Center in San Francisco, California.

2017

In 2017 the president of the Arab World Institute and former French Minister of Culture Jack Lang awarded Mills the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for his services to the arts.

2018

In 2018, Mills recorded E.P. Tomorrow Comes The Harvest with legendary afro-jazz drummer Tony Allen.
