Tom Middleton Interview

Tom Middleton talks about his new 3D album, what makes him groove and his advice for new DJs and producers.

ILM: Hello Tom, thanks for taking the time to talk to us. You have your new album out at the end of the month, tell us about it?

TOM: I've been itching to do a Sound Of The Cosmos part II triple CD compilation for a few years now so I was very excited when Renaissance approached me to do the next instalment in their 3D series. On disc one; Club, I'm blending strictly timeless, warm, deep and sensual house grooves. No room for any hit's or obvious noisy bangers I'm afraid. On the Home disc I've dug up some textbook Middleton tribal monsters and super deep dubs from the vaults plus some fresh unreleased nuggets too.

ILM: You have a Studio CD which have a few exclusives on there - who did you enjoy remixing the most?

TOM: Kerri Chandler's classic 'Bar A Thym' was initially a daunting task as it's such a classic... almost unremixable but therein lay the challenge and I was very happy with the result. I even had Andy Cato (Groove Armada) on the phone keen to learn about my beats and production for it. I think the most satisfying was Ulrich Schnauss's 'In All The Wrong Places'. It's one of my favourites from his awesome repertoire. It wasn't commissioned, I just had to give it a dancefloor context with it's U2 like epic and optimistic harmonies.
