Description
A 12-inch from the introspective Axis Expressionist Series, which explores "the complexities and simplifications of life" rather than dance music, by Detroit maverick Jeff Mills under his Millsart alias! A masterpiece that offers a glimpse into another of Jeff's talents and facets, featuring mystical, almost ethnic, percussive grooves and more sound-art-oriented sounds!
A The Wise One (Khufu Mix) 7:11
B1 Wind Walkers (Extended Mix) 9:18
B2 Don't Ask Me Why (Extended Mix) 6:00
The Axis Expressionist series, curated by Millsart aka Jeff Mills, is back with a second EP that features a selection of tracks making their debut on vinyl. The music is less focused on the act of dancing and more, says the ever-verbose Mills, "about reflecting on the complexity and simplification of life." The opener 'The Wise One' (Khufu mix) is all steamy and ritualistic percussive sounds and mystic synths over a rolling tribal beat that turns you inwards. 'Wind Walkers' (extended mix) is a beautifully loose-limbed jumble of percussion, off-grid hits and snaking rhythms steeped in celestial charm and 'Don't Ask Me Why' (extended mix) rounds out with another snaking groove richly embellished with ancient cosmic magic.
