3. June 2024 | Jeff Mills Performs Metropolis Metropolis @ Gartenbaukino (Vienna)
um 18:45h – 21:00h | Performance SOLD OUT!
Jeff Mills, one of the great representatives of Detroit techno, has always had two other obsessions besides music: space and film. Over the years he has released records inspired by his favorite films – such as the short film LE VOYAGE DANS LA LUNE (The Trip to the Moon) by Georges Méliès from 1902 or the science fiction film FANTASTIC VOYAGE from 1966.
However, no other film has occupied, influenced and inspired him as much as Fritz Lang’s silent film METROPOLIS (1927). In 2000, Mills scored the film for the first time, capturing the Art Deco architecture and scenes of proletarian revolt in shimmering, abstract synth sounds and driving techno. Ten years later, he wrote a new score that was intended to take the perspective of the film’s characters.
“Metropolis Metropolis,” his third original composition based on the film, is intended to represent the machines in the movie. Divided into six suite-like tracks, the 75-minute album is Mills’ most extensive treatment of Lang’s masterpiece to date.
However, Jeff Mills will play the entire restored version of the 2010 film live on the Gartenbaukino stage – almost two and a half hours!

MARCELLUS PITTMAN IN CONVERSATION 17.01.24
The latest edition of our ‘In Conversation’ series at our music bar meets community space in Northcote (Naarm, Melbourne) featuring Detroit-based legend Marcellus Pittman. As a kid in the early ’80s, Marcellus Pittman preferred blasting his radio over playing with action figures. Now a staple of Detroit’s sound.
In this discussion, hosted by Naarm-based via Chicago lover-of-house Mothafunk, the two get deep about the cities histories, how dance-floors have changed and more. Video Production: @studiokilooooooooo Directed by: @jordanjameskaye High Note is based on the un-ceded, traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. High Note recognizes their sovereignty and ongoing fight against colonialism and we pay respect to their Elders past and present. Always Was, Always Will Be.

Theo Parrish | In Conversation @ High Note / Melbourne, Australia
The first edition of a new ‘In Conversation’ series at High Note in Naarm (Melbourne, Australia).
Watch back the unforgettable night – mediated by Lori – as they discuss processes in DJ’ing, production, collaborations and beyond. Infinite wisdom from the Detroit-based legend, DJ, producer, selector, arranger, keyboard clunker, machine beater, writer, sculptor, car lover, visual artist, lecturer & father. Equal parts hilarious and thoughtful, serious and educational.
