General Midi

Real Name:
Paul Damian Crossman
Profile:
Paul Crossman a.k.a General Midi has always managed to master a more level crunching, dub flavoured and bass fuelled musical ride than his peers and it is this that has earned him his fast growing reputation as the source of a great night out when he's at the controls and as the producers producer.

Emerging from the backrooms of the Bristol Club scene his slick DJ ability and an ear for a great tune have given him regular appearances at clubs across the globe.

Over the last few years General Midi's singles have been released on some of the most respected breaks labels including TCR (Rennie Pilgrim's label) & Kilowatt (Hyper's label).
All of this has led to his debut album, 'Midi Style' out now on Distinct'ive.
