Another producer who knows a thing about mood manipulation is highly
respected Global Communication and Jedi Knight man TOM MIDDLETON, who shows
his all encompassing mastery of electronic music with an enticing first mix
CD that takes in house, jazz, ambient, funk and soul, in the process
rendering the tawdry practice of separation by genre almost meaningless. A
Jedi's Night Out (Mixmag Live)***** is a heady cocktail of influences,
reflecting Tom's own classical training and musical pluralism, and his
belief that the listener should experience variety via a mixture of
emotions, not just pure adrenalin, and through it, he proves here that he's
one of the world's most underrated DJs. Technically, Tom has clearly paid
maximum attention to key mixing - the ultimate DJ's jigsaw puzzle, with
filters, sampling, effects and live re-mixing very much adding to Tom's
audio armoury, as the mix effortlessly glides through his own Universal
Language unreleased output with LA Synthesis, Sunsurreal, Max 404 and his
own new Amba project, alongside Shur-I-Ken, Stereo People, Tom's own
Modwheel remix of Espiritu's 'Man Don't Cry', Ashley Beedle's awesome take
on D.Note's 'Garden Of Earthly Delights', Jazzanova re-reading of Ian
Pooley's 'What's Your Number' and a blissfully chilled finale with A Man
Called Adam's 'Stay With Me'. The vinyl version is unmixed with new
exclusives from Jedi Knights, Jimpster and Ian O'Brien as added bonuses.
Inspirational sensory therapy through music is what Tom Middleton deals in.
