Mid-Air A Thousand Atomic Fireballs
(Unreleased)
Note(s): So there’s been some feigning for new, fresh tracks. Jungle is a tough MdM beat to make work, but with enough tenacity the rewards outweigh the struggle. Mid-Air takes jungle back to the roots and doesn’t let the “electronic” aspect of the genre overshadow the organic foundational focus of the sub-genre. Chris Harbach’s contribution to the greater jungle is a product that finds its roots in an urban experimental sound, works its way up through a solid trunk of jazz/hip-hop/funk, and branches off touching upon ambient, acid, trip-hop, and “electronica”, the fruits of which are best savored chilled and — even in the midst of the gritty and grainy samples — fresh. Essentially, as one put it, Mid-Air is “Too fast, too slow, too noisy, too melodic, too old skool, and way too ahead of his time,” (in all the right ways); that, as always, is for you to decide. So, intertwined with the linchpin artist’s works are a few third-party complementary sounds to guide you through the sonic landscape. Enjoi.

Hey, not sure what’s happening, but almost every tune I play skips like a scratched record, very irritating. At least they download intact. Good music as usual, just frustrated by the playback.

This is refreshing. Thank you so much for turning me onto yet another great artist (mid-air). I have been listening to D&B and Jungle for a long time and thought I had grown out of it finding it too spastic and well, listening to more loop based music. This draws the two together and is inspirational work. I must get that tv off so I can record some music now. Thank you!
hey billy we’re working through some kinks right now (scroll the cbox) but thanks for bearing with the tech. difficulties … glad the d/ls worked
thanks love i’m so pleased you found it as refreshing as i did. i did the list primarily because mid air revamped the genre for me personally too. glad we could help and thank you.

Beautiful image, great playlist.
Unfortunately I never found a place where to listen that kind of jungle music continously for an entire night.
thanks jungle :o) but of course i must pass on the photo comment to squashed, master of the playlist synthesis … but as always i appreciate the playlist nod
