Jeff Mills publishing Axis retrospective with USB mix

On its 20th anniversary Axis Records is publishing a retrospective book covering its artwork and photography, which comes with a USB mix of 30 tracks selected by Jeff Mills. The 320-page 12" book is titled Sequence, and will be released simultaneously with a double CD compilation of tracks from the label's catalogue.

Mills's intro reads: "Axis was built, not created as a matter of circumstance or chance... Early on, I realised that even though the allure of dealing with the subjects of here and now are attractive, maybe even rewarding to a certain extent, eventually I would fall short when wanting to offer more substantial music contributions. Essentially, I could not imagine making music for someone I did not understand, so I decided to make it for myself."
