This Is Jeff Mills Playlist on Spotify

Futuristic techno, all in one archive. This Is Jeff Mills is Spotify’s essential-tracks collection for Jeff Mills, curated by Spotify’s editors to gather his pioneering techno in one place.

Key cuts include “The Bells”, “Peace From The Virgo Cluster”, “Theme From Star Child” and “Methane Bubbles”. Other names that appear include Tony Allen, Jean-Michel Jarre, Ken Ishii and Prabhu Edouard. Collaborators such as Jean-Michel Jarre, Ken Ishii and Jean Phi Dary give the set an experimental flavour.

The mood is sparse, cosmic, machine-driven techno suited to deep focus, late sessions and adventurous dance floors. It holds 50 tracks and runs 4 h 15 min. Nothing here is rushed, so let it play through. Its long, patient tracks make it a dependable choice for deep listening and unhurried late-night sessions.
