For anyone who doesn’t yet know who Midfield General is – a man who earlier this year bursts back onto the scene with the massive Justice-produced ‘Disco Sirens’ – check out an early Pelski blog post on the General. And here are a few words from the BlahBlahBlah crew:
“The Brighton General serves up two carefully crafted mixes for the WeAreBlahBlahBlah series. Both mixes serve to demonstrate why Midfield General is as relevant now as he was back in the mid to late 90′s when he sprung upon the scene with his label Skint, Big Beat, and the then slightly less well known Fatboy Slim. Fusing a combination of Electro, Disco, Wonk, Fidget, House and anything else he can get his hands on, Midfield General has created two sublime mixes which provide a heart pumping snap shot of a genre that cannot be defined without furious debate….“
I’ve chosen to post his second mix: a refreshing take on electro, with some housey bangers, bouncy hip-hop and tonnes of vocal hooks throw in. Very tasty:
