With the release of The Paradox: Live at Montreux Jazz Festival, techno legend Jeff Mills and keyboard wizard Jean-Phi Dary embark on an exciting, ground-breaking musical trip that takes Techno and electronic dance music to a new level. In the past Jeff has spoken of the need to, “take a few steps back and try and assess what has been done, and what might need to be approached to be able to go forward.” Paradox: Live at Montreux is the result. “Trying new things is important, it's reminding people we have not exhausted all possibilities with what we can do with electronic instruments,” he says.
What could well be a small step for Jeff and Jean-Phi could be a giant step for Techno and electronic music. Breaking new ground, they have loosened-up the music’s rigid structures to let a little sunlight in while introducing an element of unpredictability and danger that moves from the mechanical to the intuitive. Pushing the envelope like this in search of risk and adventure poses questions of where it all might lead. Who knows? But what we can be sure about is that the future looks bright, full of unexplored potential and possibilities. “It’s not necessarily the form of jazz I’m interested in,” says Jeff, “it’s what you can create in the moment is what is going to be the key element of how long this genre of Techno music will last.”

The objective of The Paradox comes from a common belief between Dary and Mills that with uncompromising freedom and means in which new ideas can be born, the two are able to focus on reaching a higher level of spiritual consciousness through their works.
