Raised in the rural landscapes of Wales and later forming deep roots in Leeds and London, Midland (born Harry Agius) has carved a distinctive path as one of the UK’s most innovative and empathetic DJs. Steeped in a deep passion for dance music’s diverse traditions, he first garnered international attention with his 2010 collaboration “Your Words Matter” alongside Ramadanman (now Pearson Sound). From there, Midland’s artistry has evolved through an acclaimed string of releases for labels like Aus Music, Phonica, and his own Graded and InterGraded imprints.

Midland’s production style is marked by warmth and emotional depth, traversing effortlessly between house, techno, breaks, and leftfield pop. His breakout solo hit, “Trace” (2013), established his reputation for lush, enveloping club tracks, while later releases such as “Final Credits” (2016) became crossover dancefloor anthems, garnering accolades across the music press. A meticulous and genre-blurring selector, Midland is revered for DJ sets that balance narrative subtlety with exuberant energy, whether commanding the peak-time floors of Panorama Bar, traversing esoteric sonics on NTS Radio, or curating his own genre-defying “Fabriclive 94” mix.

As a vocal advocate for inclusivity and mental health within club culture, his presence both behind the decks and within public discourse continues to inspire audiences and peers alike.
