Listen to the remix and read Hopkins' explanation of the track
13 May 2014
the idea for ‘midnight’ appeared back in 2011 when i was working late at the studio with chris and rik one night.
i played chris this unfinished idea for an ambient track i’d written called ‘the fourth state part ii’ and chris was really into it – he grabbed a mic, rik set up a vocoder patch, and the basic vocal idea was jammed pretty much straight away.
i liked the idea of doing a more upbeat, hypnotic version for my remix – something that could work in clubs as well as on record.
