Following his time in the Detroit techno scene as part of Underground Resistance, Jeff Mills became an internationally renowned DJ in his own right. Alongside founding Axis Records with long-time collaborator Robert Hood, Mills is one of the most prolific producers going, releasing at least one album every year since 2004.
