Jeff Mills - Exhibitionist 2004 (Part 1)

Compared to Justin’s abs or Kylie’s arse, your average DJ does not offer much to look at. And yet at every gig Jeff Mills plays, groups of punters crowd around the booth scrutinising his every move. Now, Mills is no pin-up – despite the feverish fantasies techno trainspotters undoubtedly have about this Detroit techno legend – yet as a DJ he’s a true performer. Largely eschewing the boring beat-matching and segues of most techno and house jocks, Mills tears through 4/4 rhythms like a hip-hop scratch DJ, rarely playing any record for longer than two minutes before he rips it from the deck, hurls it over his shoulder and slams another beat in perfectly in time. It’s his spontaneity and intuition that sets him apart from most overpaid record changers, yet Mills has now tried to capture that spur-of-the-moment feel on his new Exhibitionist DVD.

“Exhibitionist is a document and an exploration of the art of DJ-ing,” Mills explains. “By allowing the viewers to see more clearly the techniques of DJ-ing I will hopefully attract more attention and a better understanding of what I do.”

Eveready Harton in Buried Island (ca. 1925)

Eveready Harton in Buried Treasure, sometimes known simply as Eveready, Pecker Island or Buried Treasure, is a pornographic animated cartoon made in the United states circa 1924 (1929, according to IMDB; 1925 according to other sources), depicting the unlikely adventures of the perpetually aroused title character with, among others, a man, a woman, and a cow. Supposedly, American film labs refused to process the film, and it had to be developed in Cuba. The artists are unknown, but a widespread rumor states that a group of famous animators created the film for a private party in honor of Winsor McCay.
