Karnival are delighted to mark their own fourth birthday at the same time that Cab celebrates it fifth. To mark this double celebration, they're bringing in a very special guest - musician, producer, remixer and DJ, TOM MIDDLETON.
A classically trained pianist and cellist, Middleton worked in the early 1990s with Richard D. James, co-producing En-Trance To Exit on the Analogue Bubblebath EP for Exeter's influential Mighty Force Records. This was followed by his first solo outing, My Splendid Idea, under the name Schizophrenia for the same label.
Soon after, he teamed up with Mark Pritchard. The pair recorded under a host of pseudonyms, including the popular Reload (experimental techno and ambient music), Global Communication (ambient), and Jedi Knights (electrofunk/ house music), plus lesser-known aliases Chameleon and Link & E621. Global Communication's 1994 ambient album 76:14 is widely considered to be a landmark of the genre. The pair also founded their own record label, Evolution.
Predominantly using the Cosmos and Modwheel monikers (and his own name) Middleton has remixed numerous artists including Kerri Chandler, Orbital, Kylie Minogue, Coldplay, Underworld, Fluke, Super Collider, Prince, Spiller, Model 500, The Beloved, Rob Dougan, Pulp, Leftfield, Ian Pooley, Dubtribe Sound System, All Saints, Goldfrapp, Lamb, Röyksopp, Gotan Project, Amp Fiddler, Mighty Dub Katz and Bebel Gilberto.
