And so the story goes:
"1995/1996 remastered demo from unknown Bronx duo called the Midnight Eez..any further info on this pair get in touch!
So this is how the story goes.. A long long time ago in a galaxy far away, that is to say pre-internet, 1995 or 1996 to be not very exact, All City co-founder Splyce found himself on one of his regular record buying sojourns to New York. Approached outside the Fat Beats store by two guys who had heard he was a DJ from out of town and were eager to spread word of their production work outside their homeland, he was given a mix tape demo of their beats. Named The Midnight Eez, from the Bronx, they were one of thousands of budding production units on Manhattan Island. The tape came only with a name and pager number, which hardly surprisingly now goes unanswered in 2011, but after relocating that same tape in a recent house move, in the spirit of musical altruism we have decided to give it the proper vinyl release it deserves. Hopefully this release will see The Midnite Eez them get some belated but deserved shine. Tracklisting is precisely as per the original cassette, with 30 minutes of hip hop music over the two sides.."
I just got back from a Las Vegas vacation and I get home to find this in the inbox. On one complete listen, I AM BAFFLED. This is the shit. But it's sooo good that I'm hesitant in believing the back story. It does come off very 90's dusty boom bapish. & I understand they're claiming the remastering and pressing up of it...but this seems very well put together for a tape to vinyl remasterization. Either way, This is fucking awesome and if the story holds any truth....it's and incredible find and hopefully the duo can get in contact or come forward. Be sure to check it out.
