Mills is not happy about this "Dark Matter" thing at all. Its been "a complex case of remix hell" as he described it. He made these edits for a New York label "Undertow": http://www.discogs.com/release/66564 and http://www.discogs.com/release/345178 (second one being a dubious release already). The thing went on to some italian label ULR http://www.discogs.com/release/66917 without clearance and ended up on Re-Load (known for some very dubious business practises, MUCH worse than R+S at their "shady" times). Some of the Re-Load guys took the liberty to "remix the remix" (in other words, **** around with unlicensed material) and pressed up this: http://www.discogs.com/release/31984
This whole (as it seems ongoing) story is the main reason why there are only a handful Jeff Mills remixes out there. Here is a pretty awesome one: http://www.discogs.com/release/38406
He decribed the whole story some years back on his site (there was a kind of forum for a while until spammers and playerhaters took over)

[eyeswithoutaface]

yeah, i dont know why people are bigging this up in the first place, you only have to listen to it to realise all is not what it seems.

i love how there are several bigger names who obviously havent realised just how shady this release is supporting it, the irony being the more this bootleg saga goes on, the less likely it is Mills will do any remixes, great!

[eyeswithoutaface]

considering the first track is a strange remix/rework of Clarke's Aphrohead remix, id place a bet that he played his original version. I cant see Clarke supporting a record that boots one of his friends so blatently. But maybe everyone is giving up on their morals these days? who knows

[eyeswithoutaface]

they are even using the fact it's causing uproar as a promtional tool... pity they cant spell controversial correct

[ds2]

here Scott, i've bought you a present....





:cheese:

[eyeswithoutaface]

hahaha

;)

are you stocking this release by the way?

[ds2]

no i'm not, but not because i disagree with it or anything.

i've stocked clones, p, killabite, player etc in the past so it'd be a bit hypocrytical not to stock this one. it came out when i was sorting the new website out and wasn't ordering anything new in.

i wonder if mills is still playing the clones releases...

[eyeswithoutaface]

fair point of course, i just find the whole thing very off that's all

and as if that bird is the one running the label, unless anyone can verify it? a few of you guys seem to know who it is, care to share it with the rest of us?

I'm sure lots of people know the origin of the samples, but would just play it because they like it. And look at Ben Sims, he's built his production career on ripping other people's loops - no-one has ever really called him shady. Mills has probably played the Killabites, and he got Sims to remix one of his tracks too.

It is a little cheekier this one, but I don't think this Rewerx 12" is going to sway Mills further away from doing remixes, the fact is he doesn't really do them anyway and probably has no intention to do many more, regardless of a bootleg that's doing the rounds.

Maybe Mills should make his catalogue open to some producers to remix, rather than exclusive 100 copy releases and all that crap. A proper double pack or album from a variety of producers.

i have hear that vinyl does not sell much these days anyhow so it is not like someone will be rich from these.

it is just music for a dancefloor i think. i have this record and i like it. rip off or not :)
