I saw Adam Beyer n Timmo Mass at Lakota in 1998 then i went off tekno for quite a while even though JEFF MILLS N CARL COX remain oh n Sasha my favourite dj's ,but last or week b4 i saw Jeff Mills at HMV Institute in b'ham he was fucking awesome no records though a shame cos at the old Universe raves after Sven Vath Laurent Garnier Jeff would come on for the last 2-4 hrs and use 3 dex and his percussion drum machine .I remember once Jeff had two records in the mix n stopped them with his hands ,then put his right elbow on the right deck to hold the tune in place ,lookedd up or down to the thousands of gurning ravers n cupped his ear taunting us and all one couldd hear was "GO JEFF GO ON MY SON,FUCKING LETS HAVE IT HARDER then a chant of JEFF ,JEFF,JEFF" and bam he let the 2 tunes go at the same time still perfectly in the mix,I saw him lots of time at the Universe Tribal Gatherings ,twice at Atomic Jam n once at the Thekla Bristol he is THE WIZARD,THE PURPOSE MAKER.NO 2 WAYS ABOUT IT Ritchie Hawtin ,Surgeon i think try 2 emulate him, not Dave Clark a genious in his own right.
So was Adam Beyer n Marco Corrolla back in the day not sure wat they're like nowadays.
I'd Drum Codes 1&2,3,4,5,6,right up to 11 lost interest in tekno then, Construct A rythm was a good label ,Primate was and i think still is.Primate 0ne very first release is a brilliant Adam Beyer 4 track 12"
