Peel MD / Frak – Calavera / Sync Rebate [MID005]
Midlight’s releases may be relatively sparse, but they’re rarely less than excellent. Here, they wander off in a more robust direction, delivering a pair of twisted, acid-flecked rubs that should please all those who like their house music rough and dystopian. Rarely spotted Swede Peel MD kicks things off with “Calavera”, a pulsating fusion of rolling analogue percussion, warped electronics and heavyweight 303 abuse. Frak surprisingly calm things down a touch on “Rebate”, dipping the tempo for a hypnotic trip through deep-but-sparse acid house territory.
Vernon Felicity – Superficial Pleasures EP [MID004]
Number four will be born to the floor. Melomanic mastermind Vernon Felicty is the freshest residential of the harbour city and we had to trouble up faster then Bonny & Clyde’s motorbike. Here’s what happened… Get ready for a fix of Rotterdam’s danger!
Duplex / Tuff Sherm – Population Density / Drain Spectre (After Virgo) [MID003]
The A side got fixed by the legendary chaps of Duplex. They’ve been coming along since the first waves of house and techno and gave proof of this with their contribution ‘Population Density’. On the flip we find Tuff Sherm’s 10 min excursion holding beastly percussion and melomanic fatness.
Frak – Saturate You [MID002]
Second release on Midlight, by the notorious FRAK, is in sight. One mighty tune on each side, both nearly 10 minutes. This mysterious group from Sweden has a history rooted in the late 80’s releasing cassettes, later many tripped out releases and lauded livesets. This fresh 12” gives proof, once more, of their intriguingly stripped sound. First limited pressing comes with a limited inlay.
