'Following two sought after, sold out 45s on the label, Kevin Hendrick's M I D D E X project releases it's debut LP for mid-February and right from the off this is no everyday minimal synth project. 10 brutally sharp, icily industrial, analogue synth blasts which tip their hat to those hugely influential days in the late 70s where across the UK, tiny pockets of forward thinking, electronic experimentalists were creating groundbreaking, analogue electronic music, under the radar from almost all, unknowing at the time of course about their impact even to this day.
A revered period in UK music, a love for which that pretty much launched Polytechnic Youth as a label, so it sits naturally that of all it's 60 odd releases so far, it is this one that the label is perhaps most proud of, in both its sheer authenticity and in a way, it's absolute otherworldliness. There is nothing remotely close out there as brutally stark and plain honest, to these ears, currently....
We'll pass you over to Kevin himself for his thoughts on the record:
The outside eyes, the slow implosion and MIDDEX reports from inside from the hollowed- out brick farmed lands. Where counties disappear and towns are removed. There are dead ends and black holes. This is municipal muse and these are conversations from the City's edge where the police are bored and there is no home and no ceremony. The world is broken and so is the sound. This is Now and with old drum machine and new analogue synthesizer and with echoed words the conversation is probably with a suburban outer space.'
Suffice to say, you need this record. Brutally, coldly magical where a warmth eventually reveals itself as it seeps into the senses after continuous play.
As a lazy gateway, imagine some monumental mash up of Chris Carter's mighty The Spaces Between' cassette, both sides of the revered Normal 45 and the earliest Suicide garage demos, via East London 2018. Sound intrigued Then get on it as this will sell out sharpish....' - www.deejay.de
