Priori - Pareidolia

Basel based experimental techno producer and https://soundcloud.com/amenthia-recordings label co-owner https://soundcloud.com/agonis-amenthia steps up on Midgar. The release is inspired by the astronomical phenomenon of gamma rays, the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation.

Gamma ray bursts are associated with the core collapse of massive stars leading to the formation of a black hole or a neutron star, which releases a tremendous amount of energy, outshining entire galaxies for brief seconds.

Agonis - Gamma Ray EP

Embracing Midgar's story-tale approach, 'Da Nao Tian Gong' (also known as 'Havoc in Heaven') stands as https://soundcloud.com/polygonia's latest four-track EP. Lindsey Wang draws direct influence from a beloved childhood cartoon, itself inspired by the ancient Chinese legend 'Journey to the West' and the iconic character Sun Wukong. In a retro-modern twist, the tracks vividly depict Sun Wukong's essence: 'Jindou Yun' embodies the swiftness of his cloud, 'Shen Wai Shenfa' invokes his magical hair with tribal rhythms, 'Ruyi Jingu Bang' mirrors his legendary staff's power, and 'Disha Shu' portrays his 72 Transformations through vibrant harmonics.

Polygonia - Da Nao Tian Gong

Standing on the mountainside you can see the entire landscape. Shaded gullies in the valley, branches moving with the wind and in the distance lines converging with the vault, the clouds stacked high and pierced by beams of light. Intricate details can be found when you stop for a moment and be still. Mirrors face one another, an infinite world.

Heatwave, the new record from Melbourne duo OK EG, is an exploration of techno’s deepest layers. Tracks like “Radial” pulse with bass-heavy grooves, while “Heatwave” melts into lysergic bliss—each sound folding in on itself, revealing new dimensions. Mirrored by the mind bending artwork, Heatwave is a trip through refracted techno at it’s most intricate.

OK EG - Heatwave

https://soundcloud.com/priori-ties hit EP Pareidolia gets a well deserved remix treatment. The relation between Priori and Midgar started early 2023 with the release of his Pareidolia EP, where a remix for Keplrr followed quickly the year after. Now, early 2025, a group of close friends and admired artists were invited to rework the Pareidolia’s originals.

Midgar affiliate https://soundcloud.com/forest-drive-west uses the opportunity to present not one but two remixes. Presenting one half-time 85 bpm twist of Hazard and another slow-paced murky techno groover. Originally from Montreal, https://soundcloud.com/maara forms the Canadian connection and she turns Memory Palace into a beautiful bouncy dub-techno floater. Sound experimentalist https://soundcloud.com/notteinfinita takes his turn on Pareidolia’s title track and creates some magnificent eyes-closed drum & bass hypnotism. At last, Amsterdam’s https://soundcloud.com/upsammy brings back the light with her iconic playful approach. She flips the steady groove of Glass Shards into a jumpy interplay of rhythms and joy.

Premiere: Priori - Hazard [MDG021]

These were the stories that he told himself, tall tales from long ago which had got lost in the spaces in between. It had been a while since he’d last let himself think about such history and nostalgia for it was buried deep in the recesses of his mind. His memory palace was a place visited once in a blue moon for the magic which lived behind those thick castle walls was sometimes best to be left alone.

Lying amidst the tall grass he watched as the clouds moved slowly by overhead, he’d allowed himself this one afternoon to daydream upon what might of been in another life. He opened the heavy gates and let his memories of a wilder, better time come rushing in.

He closed his eyes and nodded off…

Priori continues to develop and grow as a producer, moving toward deep, pensive textures and atmospheres on a new EP for Midgar Records. The Pareidolia EP is comprised of four tracks of intelligent Techno which teases and intrigues – this is a record which will sound good on dark nights and in smokey rooms.

Da Nao Tian Gong

Polygonia - Jin Dou Yun

Midgar Records, the tastemakers who always keep their finger on the pulse of the future, and Polygonia, the artist crafting music that feels like stepping into tomorrow, have finally collided. The result - the 'Da Nao Tian Gong' EP.

Imagine a childhood Saturday morning cartoon but with its sugary soundtrack remixed by a cyberpunk DJ who stumbled upon ancient Chinese legends. That's the whirlwind you're stepping into with 'Da Nao Tian Gong', Polygonia's latest four-track techno wanderlust.

Lindsey Wang, the mastermind behind the magic, taps into the mythical essence of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King himself. Each track is a sculpture of his legend: 'Jindou Yun' propels you through the sky on his cloud, leaving gravity in the dust. 'Shen Wai Shenfa' casts a spell with tribal rhythms, mimicking his magical hair. 'Ruyi Jingu Bang' resonates with the earth-shaking power of his staff, while our premiere for today 'Disha Shu' bursts into a kaleidoscope of sound, mirroring his 72 transformations.

'Da Nao Tian Gong', is out on January 31

Today we introduce the single 'Plumes' extracted from the upcoming release by the same title, from the London producer https://soundcloud.com/keplrr

Known for his productions on trendsetting outlets like Control Freak Recordings and Pressure Dome where he showed his excellent take on forward thinking broken techno music.

Keplrr's creative process delves into the profound, seeking to encapsulate the sensation of falling or morphing, blurring the lines between reality and reverie. His aim is to transport listeners to a state somewhere between a dream and a trip, where the boundaries of perception dissolve, and the subconscious takes flight. This EP embodies that quest, each track a sonic voyage into the depths of consciousness.

The record will be out at the end of May!
Watch out for surprises, on the day the full Ep it will released ;)

Plumes

Keplrr - Plumes

In a distant world, there existed an endless river of cosmic, metallic fluid known as 'Exonda'. This river, normally serene, was moved to overflowing by the wrath of an alien god. Angered by the inhabitants' advanced technology, the god unleashed their fury, causing 'Exonda' to surge through the planet with unstoppable force. The river plunged the world into turmoil, its energy and chaos echoing through the rhythmic dexterity of Ruff Cherry's latest work.

At last, a collection of best-kept unreleased tracks from one of our most prolific artists is emerging as a 5-track collection, 'Exonda EP'—unannounced but unsurprisingly solid in its delivery. Ruff Cherry returns to Midgar to inaugurate our new digital side catalogue, where artists will focus on their strongest club-oriented cuts. These releases will bridge the gaps between our physical records, keeping a continuous flow of music during otherwise quieter months.

We want to deeply thank Nuel, Yves De Mey, Orphx, Shawn O'Sullivan, r²π and Ruff Cherry for taking part to this project and giving their amazing contribute! As happened for the original Ciphers Ep, which included 2 free download only digital tracks, we decided also this time to give away two tracks: 'Cocytus' remixed by r2π, newborn collaboration of Ruhig, Retina.it and PRG/M and 'Displacement' remixed by the Ruff Cherry. We are also happy to announce that the vinyl finally comes with full artwork cover plus innersleeve (for those who know and complained that we saved on that so far). cheers!
