Review: Hyper prolific jump up maestro Midst continues to bliss us out with a wide range of high energy designs. Flexing on Audio Overload once again, 'Sounds Silly' kick start another year of dancefloor debauchery with two originals and two remixes of Composure. 'Sounds Silly' goes in with the big addictive riff action while '3 Holes' takes things in more grunty, shunty direction. Meanwhile on the remixes 'Paper' shows the slightly deeper side of Midst while 'Real Fellas' whips up major drama with its savage swaggering harmonic bass textures. Silly never sounded so good.

Review: It's Vibes O'clock at Audio Overload HQ as the super-prolific Midst returns to the label to follow up the carnage of his 'Dance Off' EP. Instantly we can hear him spread his wings even further as 'Truth' goes full-on purring soul, all stripped back for the vocals to bare all emphatically. Deeper into the EP we glide to strike shimmering sunrise flavours on 'Shadow Over Her', 'Heartbeat' taps into old school house influences while the title track 'Changing Time' is all about those keys and that soaring voice. Get deep in your feels.

Review: Midst is a prolific jump-up producer and Audio Overload have released that side of his productions before, but this Sleepless Nights EP is something different, something a bit more brooding and stripped back. There are some wicked minimal vibes here, especially on 'Sleepless Nights', which combines a double kick, a diving sub bass and eerie shimmers to foment a tapestry of minimalistic depth, one which gradually gets bigger and bigger. 'Good Body Gyal' combines the two sounds in a really cool way that reminds us of Simula, whilst 'Whine Pon Mi' has a foreboding air to its stabby synthetic construction. Top work.

Review: Just one kiss is all it takes. Where does it take you? Well that's your responsibility pal, you can keep your private life to yourself, but we can tell you where Midst's kiss takes you... Goosebump town. Those ravey pianos, that vocal and then that sudden plummet into bassline anarchy - you'll be puckering up before the second drop. The van keeps rocking throughout the EP; 'Asylum Party' is Midst on a deeper Kyrist-style tip, all slinky and taut with suspense while 'My Whine' finishes this little love session with a smidgeon of afrobeat flavour in the chainsaw mix. Kiss kiss bang banger.

Review: Audio Overload are back on their usual wagon, one which is powered not by boats but by the sheer force of the music this label releases on a near-weekly basis. We're especially big fans of the title tune, as an eerie set of pads lays the groundwork for its relentlessly pounding percussion and deep, wallowing back end, a bassline that stretches into the distance and far over the horizon. 'Funky Switch' is snapping and sharp, its warmth cut away on the drop and replaced by a wobbling, chopping array of basslines that move through each other with a surprising amount of grace. One of the proper heads.

Review: Dubstomp 2 Bass alumni Midst has been on an impressive roll this year. Despite the curse of lockdown, he's dropped a whole slew of generous EPs on the likes of Nuclear Bass, DS2B and, one of his most consistent homes, Audio Overload where we find him getting low, slinky and stripped back with "Eastern Ways". Each cut off-grid in the drums and lewd in the bassline department, we range from the sparse twangs and hip-shaking funk of the title track to the left-sided bassline mischief of "Nancy On Drugs" by way of the turbulent, gritty-assed space trip "My Mule" and the dark, horn-tooting finale "Bigotry & Discrimination". Heavy stuff.

Review: Audio Overload are back doing what they do best, and if you think some jump-up naughtiness is exactly what you need as the lockdowns begin to ease off. This time it's a four-tracker courtesy of Midst and the album art is a prelude to just how dark and eerie this one gets, with sonic gore very much the order of the day. The title track is definitely the highlight because it's just so solid, as rolling percussive lines crash underneath a stabbing oscillation of basses and tangled low frequencies. It will make you scared of clowns, that's for sure, and the other three tunes all deliver just as tightly. Big ups.

Review: Midst has handed a big release to fans of the dirty jump-up sound over on Audio Overload. From the beginning, you can tell 'Shirley' is going to be heavy and as menacing bass strabs build up into preparatory drum skits, your feelings are confirmed. A growling hurry rushes out to meet you; powerful and more than willing to shove you around. 'Toga' is the next offering, a glitchy mash of jump-up, permeated by rattling arrays of bassy synths and an ever-present sense of movement. Nice and solid, this release is a statement of intent from Midst.

Review: Hey you! Do you like tuna? Do you like knuckles? Do you like socks? If they answer is 'yes' to any of those questions (and even if it's 'no' to be honest) then you'll love this new EP from rising upcomer Midst. Hot on the heels of his EPs on Dubstomp 2 Bass and Nuclear Bass this year come four tracks of total hybrid heaviness; melodic in some places, grizzly and toxic enough to melt your skin in others, highlights include the mad switches between light and dark on the EP title track and the depth plunge bass drop on "I Can". The woozy swagger on "Limits" needs a jolly good shout out too. Sock it to 'em gang.
