I went to a 6-hour set of Jeff Mills at OT301 in Amsterdam in, I think, 2012. He was promoting his "The Messenger" album. I did not leave the room even to get a drink. I since moved to London. Missing the vibe of that time, seeing people around me with a genuine appreciation (maybe it was just the proliferation of drugs) for the music and just having fun. The availability of fat, high-quality sound systems as standard didn't go a miss either. There was certainly was a lot of great music happening around Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam and The Hague over that period. I lived in Amsterdam North for a while with a view over the IJ and the power station and petrol terminal. I played a lot of Drexciya and the gang over that period. Seemed very fitting. I must be getting old. Checking out Dave Clarke now.
- roymurdock 8y agoJeff mills spinning tomorrow at E1 in London. Need to go after reading this interview
- 0db532a0 8y agoJust noticed. DJ Stingray is on tomorrow at Oval Space as well.
- haywirez 8y agoI've been there too! What a night! The best part was when he grabbed the mike and said something to the effect of "this is my 909, I take it everywhere I go" and the crowd went crazy. I got to hang out at the venue before and after the show through some record label connections. They put a special Funktion One sound system in just for that night (total, unnecessary overkill for the small venue). During soundcheck, I was standing alone next to Jeff in the middle of the dancefloor looking at the decor and listening. I was too scared to strike up a conversation, just didn't even know what to say.
