I thought I'd post a semi-review of this gig since it is pretty freakin 313 relevant. When is the next stop of the mills tour, and atkins as well? I know perth is the only place they played together.
Well let me just say that you can add me to the long line of mills fans. That guy actually lived up to his hype and more, something i never would have expected considering the hype surrounding him. The man is INHUMAN... i saw a video of him once and thought it had been sped up - it hadn't. He dj's in fast forward. Either he's a complete natural, or it's like those tennis or golf players that have played hundreds of thousands of hours of tennis since they were a kid and just can't help but be phenomenal. Atkins played first, that was interesting to watch. He kicked off with a few fantastic tunes like a red planet, and the old and new jaguar mixed together. After maybe 3 or 4 tunes he went into disco loop territory... for about an hour it was awful. I couldn't take it, but he got to a point where he kicked into some harder stuff. That was pretty good, quite fast tempo and the mixing got slightly more dynamic. "Strings of Strings of life" got heard which was pretty cool, plus a few other gems. Some good hard techno. Mills stepped up after that and played for a few hours and although by this time i was deleriously tired, i just couldn't drag myself away. I'm so glad i stayed because it was just amazing. There was another point at which the jaguar combo's got played, he stretched it out by playing all 4 different mixes including the original. It went for about 20 minutes with the crowd going beserk. Some deep humana - ish stuff got played as well which won me over completely - the best combination of deep and hard techno. If you have the means - check these guys out (not like every man/dog on this list hasn't already).
