Jeff Mills will perform "The Sleeper Wakes," his new stage-oriented DJ routine, in Berlin next month.

In its most basic form, "The Sleeper Wakes" consists of Mills mixing a set with a highly unorthodox stage set up: Mills' equipment is sunken into the circular platform on which he stands, so the audience has an unobstructed view of him as he retrieves CDs from a large glass case and kneels down to mix them together on the decks below. Video projections further enhance the spectacle, interspersing abstract imagery with a bird's-eye-view of Mills at work.

So far, "The Sleeper Wakes" has only been performed once, in Tokyo on New Years Eve, making the upcoming show in Berlin its European debut. Mills' performance will last an epic seven hours, with resident DJ Suzi Wong, and Austrian jock Carl Past set to play as well.

Mon, 15 Mar 2010Excellent!

Jeff brings his sleeper wakes performance exclusively to tresor for it's second installement after the succeded mission on 1.1.2010 at WOMB Tokyo.

This will be defenetely the most amazing night and even is the highlight in clubculture at the moment.

Supported by Mixmaster Luke with his outstanding taste in house music and even the next generation djs with techno in full effect at the basement makes it to a unforgetable experience.

looking forward very excited to this... More
