〈Midnight Drive〉 reissues these deep-cut 90s dance tracks by Brain Not Brain of 〈Going Good〉. Two cuts of stoned, slow-mo dub and mid-tempo trance-y goodness. This vibe is irresistible. Superb.

James Johnstone and Mark Smith, former members of PIGBAG and Instinct. A 12-inch reissue of tracks from the 1994 CD album by The Infinite Wheel, who also released on R&S. A sound where the essences of dub, tribal, progressive house, trance and trip-hop intersect, in a vein that recalls the likes of THE SABRES OF PARADISE. (Original Japanese text by Saito)

The Infinite Wheel are a visionary duo who emerged from the DIY and Anarcho-Punk underground of the early ’80s West Country scene. Both members have been deeply involved in numerous influential projects, releasing chart-topping music under names that are instantly recognisable.

But it’s their groundbreaking work in the ’90s that truly captured our attention at Midnight Drive. Their deep dive into studio experimentation, dubwise mixing, and hardware-driven sound manipulation gave rise to a body of work that remains as compelling as ever. That journey has led us to these two stellar tracks, featured on our 10th release.

"Java Dub / Enviro" are immersive, longform explorations that stay true to the dub tradition—expansive soundscapes that pull the listener in, treating the mixing desk as an instrument in its own right. Thunderous basslines and cavernous echoes intertwine with tribal percussion and celestial ambient synths, creating a rich, enveloping sonic universe for both deep listeners and dancers alike.

Reissued and presented with the full involvement of The Infinite Wheel and featuring a brand-new centre label designed by the band themselves, this release more than marks a fitting milestone for Midnight Drive.
