Release Notes :
As one of the most prolific recording artists and DJs, Tom Middleton is a name
synonymous with the most forward thinking and innovative electronic dance music.
From his early days of collaborating with the legendary Mark Pritchard as Global
Communication to remixing for the likes of Orbital and The Verve, Toms approach
to music has always been that of original and unmistakable quality production;
10:10 is no exception. 10:10 was inspired by the challenges of climate change
and chosen to be the anthem to support 10:10s campaign to reduce carbon
emissions in 2010 by 10%.
10:10 instantly grabs your attention with foreboding bell chimes gradually
making way for the warmth and splendor of some superb analogue synth work. Crisp
beats, fizzing hats and luscious bass provide the foundations for a medley of
melodic riff patterns to mesh together right the way towards the breakdown. Here
we are treated to a feast of retro stabs and moog style bass that builds tension
before accelerating towards a huge drop.
Juscan is an eclectic mix of downbeat, skillfully programmed synths and sublime
soundscapes. Gentle grooves create a simple platform that allows for smooth
floating sounds, a panoramic piano and a cool male vocal to form numerous layers
of tantalizing textures.
Teleporter is all about laid back beats and rhythmic synth patterns. Sumptuous
stabs, swooping FX and clever automation tricks combine to create a quirky
progressive house number that quite literally teleports you through a mass of
far out sounds.
This is a 3 tracker from Tom Middleton, the self styled Eclectrician, full of
innovation and the ideal signature release to support the climate change
campaign of 10:10.
