DISCO NOIR, the night that has cut a new edge for our region’s Clubbing keeps it pledge to bring the mighty to the North East for the third instalment of true Techno on FRIDAY MARCH 5TH 2004 the long awaited and much anticipated arrival of the World’s leading Techno DJ – JEFF MILLS.

Not since the heady days of legendary club night BLOATED has Jeff been anywhere near Tyneside and this appearance comes after a long and patient wait for all true Techno lovers.

After taking up the heritage of the "Techno fathers" Kevin Saunderson, Juan Atkins, Derrick May and inaugurating the next sound generation of the birth place of Techno, Detroit, this man founded UNDERGROUND RESISTANCE and brought the Detroit Techno sound of the early 90's into the clubs and onto turntables all over the world.

Jeff Mills recorded "Waveform Transmissions Vol. 1" in 1992 around the same time as founding his own AXIS label. This landmark release was his first solo album revealing the state of Electronic Music in 1992 and providing important hints for the future of the genre at the same time. Even today there exists no other production in this music style that has not been influenced by this album and label: It truly is a guiding light.

Now based in Chicago, the world's most in-demand DJ has continued to regularly set out for other cities like Paris, London, Rome, Berlin and Tokyo to fascinate audiences with his breathtakingly quick DJ handcraft (he can blast through 10 tracks in ten minutes and you just wouldn’t know it) and heart punching rhythms.

Now he touches down in Tyneside and we kid you not, if you have ever professed to even like Techno this is the night the king ascends.
