music selection

eclectic selections spanning decades,
crossing genres and oscillating emotions

middle distance regularly brings their varied mixing style to venues and events around Leeds and the North of England

making each set distinct and reflective of its environment, they regularly bring their music to bars, venues and private parties, cementing themselves a part of the vibrant Leeds DJ scene & community

working with a focus on dj'ing in unconventional scenarios they have upcoming slots booked with a supper club, cafe and radio stations

playing alternative picks from a variety of genres and cultural movements to intrigue their listeners, their music selection practice is a direct challenge to algorithm driven music recommendation engines which they believe lack the humanity & imperfectness that is inherent to music and life

a regular practice of digging for the freshest tracks combined with years of cross-genre understanding; their sets are deep, varied and refreshing. led by feeling, timing and vibe, each set aims to be a reflection of the moment it inhabits

resisting the over-catalogued reach of internet culture, middle distance works to create unique, fragile and immediate performances that invite their listeners to step in to the present
