Through deep rhythmical mediations, Midge Thompson's first EP emerges on his own imprint Dance Protocol, crafted with the intent to enthrall the dance floor. The A-side unveils a relentless intensity, with sub-bass lines echoing the lost era of raves, each beat a testament to a harsher reality. Conversely, the B-side invites a party atmosphere, its bubbling bassline and dynamic drums offering an escape from the mundane. First you must open your mind then your body.
Initially born in 2016 with a number of warehouse and DIY events, the Leeds based collective set sights on their label vision during 2017-2020 after opening a studio within the infamous Mabgate Mills.
The debut EP captures the tales of many hours of expression spent within Mabgate via four artists closely connected to the project.
Rising producer and Perspective boss Kepler brings a dreamy-tinged vision to the A-side, alongside the talented Midge Thompson bringing that lively Leeds energy. Residents Nikol and Keefy G mark their debut release on the flip side with two vibrant jams concluding this versatile EP.
London based label Right Angle Records returns for its second instalment, this time with its own Regan at the helm.
The A-side see's two super funky garage numbers in kickback, with a stellar remix from the French maestros Oden & Fatzo.
B1 sees a more atmospheric breaky number in The Big Beat Manifesto. B2 sees Leeds favourite Midge Thompson, adding a little more party to Regan's Other Side.
