Jeff Mills | The Bells (1997)

Released on his own Purpose Maker label in 1997, it's been part of his DJ sets ever since and never fails to whip a crowd into a frenzy.

‘The Bells’ is one of the most iconic techno tracks ever recorded yet it has an unusual, two-part arrangement. It’s also something of a contradiction.

It’s minimal in arrangement, with never more than a few musical elements happening at a time, yet also maximalist in energy. It also has a rather unique structure, with the first half dominated by a musical motif and the second by the bassline. It’s a real puzzle box.
