Artist story - Tom Middleton - Dissecting 'Hypnotizer'

Tom Middleton has been a driving force in electronic music for the last 20 year. He is the man behind countless releases under guises such as E621, The Jedi Knight and many many more. We talked to this veteran about his background, how he learned the craft from Richard D James back in Cornwall, England, and about his use of Reason as his main writing and production tool.

In the interview, we also get a walkthrough of the track Hypnotizer that just came out on Urbantorque Recordings. We'll get to learn some of the Jedi Knight's secret moves and how he uses Reason to build his signature deep sound.

Awesome! It's crazy to think Aphex Twin taught Tom how to produce music.

Reason: The kit & Kabootle of Synth construction applications. the alpha omega, the savior of electronic dance music, all you need. i think even Jesus would agree.

really like how un-pretentious Tom and the rest of UK electronic music producers are in life. also Propellerhead, thank you for your wicked programs!

He's so softly spoken. Just like Richard. Very kind of him to share this dissection with us.
