It's very far from perfect but it is out on time and no-one ever does perfect drops anymore do they? No.
There is one perfect aspect to the new show though, and that is the first guest. Tom Middleton is a true don of electronic music. From his seminal work with Mark Pritchard as Global Communication and Jedi Knights, through multiple solo albums, and collaborations with luminaries such as Matthew Herbert, the man's record is unimpeachable.
Perhaps just as interestingly though, is his second career as a sleep coach, sensory design, and pioneering audio therapeutics for sleep, relaxation, pain management, and cognitive performance. He's a co-founder of White Mirror, where he crafts health-driven sensory content and experiences, and a sleep science expert and neuroscience researcher. His therapeutic audio helps millions through Calm, Apple Music and Breathonics.
Yes that's right.
So this is a highly interesting conversation, and a great way to start the new show.
