Check Out A Young Jeff Mills DJing in 1983!

We love Jeff Mills here at DT. One of the music industrys truly unique individuals we can’t really thank the motor city innovator enough for his contributions towards electronic music. But how did the man from Detroit with a deep fascination with space who was profoundly influenced by the wonders of our solar system become the wizard behind the decks we know him today?

Check out the video which is as the uploader describes it below:
