Midland (5 Hour Set)

Through his productions, DJ sets and record labels, Midland's output comes across as unassuming and surprising in equal measure, at once subtle, refined and totally raucous – which he will present with a 5-hour set at Magnetic Fields.

As a producer, Midland’s style has nimbly evolved from one record to the next. From his debut release with Pearson Sound (aka Ramadanman) 'Your Words Matter' via 'Trace' to his most recent single 'Never Enough', he has explored a vast range of styles whilst managing to keep a core sound that is truly his own. In 2013 he started his label Graded to focus on releasing his own music, 'Archive 01', 'Drumtrak' and 'Blush' all followed. This was followed by the arrival of another label, ReGraded, in which he explored the art of sampling with 'Double Feature' and culminating with the release of 'Final Credits' a sleeper hit that went on to be voted Mixmags song of the year in 2016. His label InterGraded was launched in 2018 and focused on releasing music by new or emerging artists.

He has remixed, amongst others, Dua Lipa, The Chemical Brothers, St Vincent and Darkstar. He helped with production on Jessie Wares “Save A Kiss” alongside James Ford.

It is arguable however that he has made his biggest impact with the other side of his craft: DJing. Delivering his kaleidoscopic taste with a mixing technique that nods as much to his British lineage as it does to a smoother European style, he has distinguished himself with an ability to switch styles in a way that always feels totally natural.
