Mills left Underground Resistance in 1991 to pursue his own ventures.
He relocated from Detroit, first to New York, then Berlin (as a resident at the Tresor club), and then Chicago.
There in 1992, with fellow Detroit native Robert Hood, he set up the record label Axis, and later, sub-labels Purpose Maker, Tomorrow, and 6277, all aiming for a more minimal sound than most of the techno being produced in those years.

Mills released Blue Potential in 2006, a live album of him playing with the 70 piece Montpelier Philharmonic Orchestra in 2005.
The album was a remix for classical interpretation, following musical acts such as Radiohead.
In 2013, he released Where Light Ends, an album inspired by the Japanese astronaut Mamoru Mohri and his first trip to space.

In 2018, Mills recorded E.P. Tomorrow Comes The Harvest with legendary afro-jazz drummer Tony Allen.
