Stereogum — Jeff Mills is a titanic force in techno. As a child in 1980s Detroit, he was introduced to jazz and blues, joining industrial acts as a teenager. "You're always connected to the city you're born in," he muses. "Everything that I learned about music — all the different styles and studying bands and nightlife and becoming a DJ — started there." He decamped to New York City and Berlin in the '90s, currently residing in Miami. Over the course of an illustrious career, Mills' virtuosic speed has earned him a fitting nickname: The Wizard.

Stereogum — It's almost comforting to learn that Wu-Tang Clan members still sometimes don't show up for Wu-Tang Clan shows. The chaos of Wu-Tang group performances has been a constant through most of their history, going all the way back to the '90s. I once caught a European festival set where only four of the ten core members made it to the stage. It was still great! The Wu-Tang members who do show up know how to cover for those absences, sometimes performing deeper cuts and changing up setlists on the fly. Wu-Tang have had a more professional operation lately, but the old chaos came back during their recent Australian tour.

Stereogum — Right now, Boston hardcore heroes Haywire are in the middle of an absolutely ridiculous rise. They tour extremely hard, and they do everything in their power to make sure that every show devolves into complete insanity as quickly as possible. Videos of the band's shows go viral all the time, and I see a bunch of their clips every time I scroll Instagram. Haywire know how to create big moments, including cover songs that mean a lot to the cities where they're playing — Title Fight in Wilkes-Barre, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones (with Dicky Barrett) in their hometown. In the past week, they've had a couple of other big ones. The post Haywire Bring Out Cro-Mags’ Harley Flanagan In NYC, Cover Trapped Under Ice In Baltimore appeared first on Stereogum. more info
