Jeff Mills

A major figure in electronic music, Jeff Mills takes over the stage at the Cité de la Musique for a set heavily influenced by Detroit techno.

Jeff Mills has established himself as one of the pioneers of underground techno since the 1990s, notably as part of the Underground Resistance collective founded in Detroit. His musical output is characterised by repetitive rhythms, minimalist structures and sound explorations inspired by science fiction and astronomy. Among his most notable albums and maxis are Waveform Transmission and Metropolis, which have left their mark on the history of electronic music.

On stage, the artist generally performs solo on turntables or machines, prioritising rhythmic precision and seamless mixing with no downtime. Jeff Mills' sets often incorporate live improvisations, offering a dynamic interpretation of his repertoire. The Cité de la Musique is hosting this performance in either a seated or standing configuration depending on the evening, allowing for attentive listening to the sound textures.

This date is particularly aimed at fans of electronic music rooted in Detroit techno and DJ performances focused on sound research. The audience in attendance will appreciate the rigor of the mixing and the concert production approach, far removed from standard radio formats.
