Jeff Mills - The Purpose Maker

909_bd, Apr 27, 2006

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.
