Bleep

Midland’s take on the Fabriclive form is similar to Four Tet’s 2011 contribution in the sense that it seeks to bottle the experience of a night out at the London venue. That includes the anticipation, the excitement of getting in, the euphoria of the rave and the train/bus/cab home. Warming the listener up with the Georgina’s floating ‘Pey Woman’, Harry Aguis coaxes out an hour of leftfield techno. From dancefloor faves - Kowton’s ‘Pea Soup’, Daphni’s ‘Vulture’ - to curios like ‘Mukashi’ by Sugai Ken, Midland’s is an expertly crafted mix. That’s right down to his own ‘First Tube’, a track that closes things out in a manner that captures that fuzzy bliss of the ride home.
