✦ Mike Midnight

A leading light of contemporary downtempo and trip hop music, Mike Midnight has established himself over the past decade as a versatile DJ and with a recent series of stellar downtempo EPs including ‘Angel Hours’ and a recent collaborative project ‘trickpony’ with friends Roza Terenzi and Gem K. His productions explore 00s nostalgia through lush textures, big emotional pulls and referential, playful sampling. His recent mixes for NTS’s Braden Wells, Rinse.fm’s Baraka and pipipi showcase his incredible skills as a DJ. Mike boasts a deep and broad knowledge of both club music and obscure trip hop and downtempo music, a delicate grip of energy and flow that feels gentle while his sonic architecture is a hazy morning-after remedy of hopeful synth pads, angelic vocal wash and bleepy melodies.
