If Paul Boex and Dave Miller hadn't already reached that status under their Abstract Division moniker, they certainly have now, with the release of Midnight Ensemble, their first full length album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThose who have followed the duo since their early days of playing dj-sets together, know that it's hard to define their style anywhere beyond techno or even electronic music, as it is ever evolving and always dependent on the time of the day or night. When listening to this album, the resemblance between their unpredictable selection behind the decks and the eclectic range of subgenres on this album is more obvious than ever before. Midnight Ensemble could be interpreted as an ode to nightlife; a reminiscence of all that happens between dusk and dawn, captured and compressed into about one hour of music. An hour in which they so delicately time their changing of styles and tempos, always reading the room and always being one step ahead of the crowd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis album is a reflection of that skill, starting its journey with soothing, moodsetting ambient, followed by timeless pieces of Detroit and dubtechno. A daring electro cut providing a refreshing break from the four to the floor tradition, only to be followed by the stripped down sound the duo is so comfortable with.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe final minutes consist of experimental breaks, one last banger to pull out the last bits of energy that is left and a beautiful outro, which concludes the allnighter vibe. There are no open endings, it doesn't make you want to stay in the dark forever. Rather it makes you want to close your eyes one last time before walking outside to see the sun come up again before going home, overwhelmed and satisfied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks\u003cbr\u003eA1 Empty Floor\u003cbr\u003eA2 Nightfall\u003cbr\u003eA3 Open Your Soul\u003cbr\u003eB1 A Surreal Odyssey\u003cbr\u003eB2 Mind Over Matter\u003cbr\u003eB3 Don't Fall Asleep\u003cbr\u003eC1 Alpha State\u003cbr\u003eC2 Dissolute\u003cbr\u003eC3 Perception Is Reality\u003cbr\u003eD1 Echo Chamber\u003cbr\u003eD2 Graveyard Shift\u003cbr\u003eD3 Solar Return\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynamic Reflection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41974410903708,"sku":"DREF045","price":29.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/DREF045.jpg?v=1663575180","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/abstract-division-midnight-ensemble-lp-printed-sleeve-splatter-vinyl","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
