About this Event

In collaboration with Metro, join us for a conversation with Detroit-born techno pioneer Jeff Mills about his prolific and wide-ranging output as a producer, DJ, composer, and artist. Moderated by Kiana Mickles—a music critic and editor at the vital electronic music publication Resident Advisor—the talk covers Mills’s creative practice that stretches across solo and collaborative efforts. They include the era-defining techno of Underground Resistance, the music collective he co-founded in 1990; soundtracks for classic silent films created with the filmhouse and archive Cinémathèque française; and his work with the 70-piece Montpelier Philharmonic Orchestra for the album and film Blue Potential. In keeping with the cooperative spirit, Mills is also joined onstage during the event by his Tomorrow Comes the Harvest bandmates, Jean-Phi Dary and Prabhu Edouard, to discuss their current genre-expanding project, which performs that evening at Metro.
