Jeigo - An Ode To Midnight

REPRESS ALERT! Long out of press and with copies regularly changing hands for close to £100 on the second-hand market, Air Miles are proud to present a limited repress of their inaugural release, 'An Ode To Midnight EP' by Jeigo. The tone is set from the off with the eponymously named first track of the release 'an Ode to midnight'. The track's mellow break beat feel is met by warm rushing pads, ebbing and flowing between textures of the night before last. Floor focussed, zero fussing 'Wing Systems' carries the front side at an orbital trajectory.

No time for an intro, the drums jolt you into alertness, the wobbly bass perfectly counterpointed by gated, washing keys. 'Lime Hawk', melancholic euphoria brings the release back to the conscious. Its structure toy-fully crescendos and builds, all while the Balearic synth peaks with the sub line keeping you grounded throughout. Rounding off the record is 'By My Side' meandering the record into slightly darker territories. The shifting keys wash over, the siren call vocals penetrate and the thudding kick punches through, anchoring the track as an emotionally driven, cerebral affair.
