Jeff Mills - The Purpose Maker

CASA, One of my favourite all time tracks. Thinking about it being used on the Jeff Mills' Mix up series, with the Japanese people getting crazy when seeing that Jeff will start some extra spins. Samba-people can curl their bodies any way they want, but they can't curve it the way this track rolls through the speakers.

This single (possibly with a few others) sparked a whole new era in techno - it consists of hard and dry Roland TR-909 drumbeats with small filtered loops of classic tribal and funky percussive disco records layered over it. The only effect used is some filtering and small delay on the loops that are faded and mixed over time. The "Purpose Maker" label became a whole new sucsess story at the turn of the century for Jeff Mills, with sales quickly overturning those of his original "Axis" imprint. Many DJs and recording artists have been greatly influenced by this style at the time, for example Deetron, User, Ben Sims, Samuel L. Session.

The releases that introduced the 'Purpose Maker' moniker, used to name the subsidary label.
