I still fail to see the point of the DVD thing. Either I'm stupid, or Mills' explanation for it is rubbish.

It was effective and crowd-pleasing but nothing ground-breaking really. I was really impressed by Mills, though, I have to say. Maybe it's because it's a while since I've seen him, or because I was swept up in the spirit of the night, but he seemed to me to be very assured and on-form, and he played quite a lot of tracks that I hadn't heard before but that were pretty intriguing; the 909 stuff was pretty rude as well. And even though I know this is serious flamebait, I actually think the DVD thing at the start worked... *duck!* One of the things I worry about sometimes is that the world of techno will hit a point where all new music is basically schranz and if a DJ is going to really rock the crowd he/she will have to basically play ancient classics. Periodically, though, you hear a set that helps to persuade you that there's still development and evolution of the sound going on (Surgeon's set at Turnmills a few weeks back sounded like just that sort of thing actually). So yeah, I thought Mills did a really good job and he did exceed my expectations in all honesty. The 2001 stuff was nice visual dressing but I'm not so much of a "visuals" man and didn't really notice it being "soundtracked" in any particular way... was nice to look at though!
