Following the release of his critically acclaimed debut album Fragments of Us in October, Midland will be joining us to share insights into how it was made and the themes, concepts and ideas it explores.  

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” right up to Fragments of Us  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 focussed on releasing music by new or emerging artists.
