Got any Jeff Mills?
Jeff Mills has long been a hero of mine, and watching his devastating DJ skillz is as near a religious experience as you can have in a club.
So when I got an email offering two tickets to watch the premiere screening of his new collaborative film with the Montpellier Philharmonic Orchestra in New York I was more than chuffed... imagining myself sipping champagne in Virgin Atlantic 1st Class on a day return to meet the man himself.
But no. It seems the condition for my getting the tickets is that I give them to one of you lot.
Which makes it COMPETITION TIME! In the first part of a new regular (daily?) feature, where PR flunkies send me expensive gifts, and I (occasionally) pass (some of) them on to you.
,-)
So the prize I have up for grabs is two tickets to the screening of the collaborative film 'Blue Potential' at New York's Trabeca Grand on May 1st. Jeff Mills himself will be hosting the event, and speaking. So if you've ever wanted to ask him if he's ever tried spinning plates; or if he's ever picked up friction burns on his fingers; here is your chance.
Alternatively, if you are unable to make it to New York (I did check, and flights are sadly not included), the prize winner will get a copy of the DVD.
It does look like a really exciting project, and personally I can't wait to hear classics like 'The Bells' done in a classical stylee. If it's anything like the Philip Glass interpretation of Aphex Twin's 'Icct Hedral' this will be something to look forward to.
You can watch a trailer for the film here , and read some information about the project here. (This may be worth reading!)
The question:
'Jeff Mills is rhyming slang for which popular recreational drug?'
ah, no. It seems like i've been given a question to set.
Which is....
“What bridge did Jeff Mills and the Montpellier Philharmonic Orchestra film ‘Blue Potential’ under”?
SEND YOUR ANSWER to: james at headphonesex.co.uk
And may good fortune smile upon your every move.
The FIFTH correct answer will win the prize.
EDIT: It took, er, a while. But eventually Andy popped up with the fifth correct answer. Well done Andy! You lucky lucky man.
Here's the rather wonderful orchestral version of 'The Bells' for all who weren't quite as lucky as lucky, lucky Andy.
