Jeff Mills has always been willing to question the norm. As a founding member of Underground Resistance alongside ‘Mad’ Mike Banks, Mills spearheaded the second wave of Detroit techno back in the late 80s, but his musical output quickly expanded and his own artistic identity became more complex. Some of the biggest names in techno music (Juan Atkins, AUX 88 and Richie Hawtin) hail from Detroit, but within that circle, Jeff Mills is an outlier.He was a part of the scene from the early days in the mid-1980s, but over his career he has refused to be pigeon-holed by the genre’s mores, and over an impressive output of 33 studio albums and 75 EPs, he has continually redefined the breadth.
Jeff Mills’ latest EP, Str Mrkd, on his Axis Records sub-label of the same name, features a track called Patterns In Nature, which was accidentally passed off as his own. In fact, the track was originally produced by Swedish techno producer, Julien H. Mulder.Axis Records posted an apology on Facebook stating how the mix-up came about. It appears that Jeff receives numerous demos and may have taken this one particular track out to test on tour, along with other new tracks. It was then accidentally selected, for its apparent likeness to his own productions, on the new EP.In the post, Axis Records also states that it will be giving all proceeds of the track to Mulder and will attribute the Swedish producer in the next pressing and all subsequent pressings of the EP, although the website is yet to be updated at the time of writing.StrMrkd is out now on.
