Midfield General - Disco Sirens / General Disarray

Midfield General presents Xavier from Justice, Soulwax, Vila from Bumblebeez, and mixes from Chicken Lips, Boy 8Bit and D.I.M…..it doesn't get much bigger than this!

Midfield General is the DJ/Production alter-ego of Skint Records founder Damian Harris. This April sees the release of a new Midfield General album General Disarray - a mere 8 years after the release of his critically acclaimed debut album, Generalisation.

After warming things up nicely with the limited Bass Mechanic single at the beginning of the year, the General turns up the heat with the single Disco Sirens. A veritable who's who of sonic dignitaries, with Damian joined by Vila of the Bumblebeez on vocals, and Xavier De Rosnay from Justice and Soulwax supplying some additional production expertise. The result is a floor shaking masterclass, that's perfectly set to dominate radio waves and dance moves in the coming months. The mix package ticks even more boxes, with Chicken Lips, Boy 8Bit and D.I.M all joining the party too. The General may have been away from the limelight, but here the sirens announce his return in fine style!

The album General Disarray keeps up the pressure. An exciting collage of Damian's production skills, and a very original and varied set of vocal collaborations. After an early career appearance on Generalisation, Noel Fielding from the Mighty Boosh returns to tell one of his surreal adventures over a dirty funk track. Actor Ralph Brown features on the track Teddy Bear, which revisits the curious truck driving CB radio Country hit by Red Sovine. Elsewhere Robots In Disguise, 70's soul singer Pat Stalworth, and excitable Dutch football commentator Jack Van Gelder also appear. The album manages to contain leftfield pop, hip hop, cinematic epics, house, techno and soul, yet still sound like a cohesive and personal album, taking in Paris, Tokyo, Moscow, New York and Whitstable along the way….
