INFO SHEET

Benoit & Sergio excel at creating a sense of place in
their music, constructing dusky, romantic spaces in
which dance and pop music conspire in hushed tones.
“Midnight People”, the Washington, DC duoʼs first
single on Spectral Sound, is a noir anthem for
heartbroken hedonists, a tech-house ode to furtive
glances and bad decisions. Handclaps and pianos,
melodramatic synthesizers and wafer-thin vocal
samples push the beat along, but itʼs the trackʼs air of
desperation and psychedelic dread that makes
“Midnight People” such a reality-defying listen.
The “Midnight People” 12” and digital single includes
two careening techno remixes by Technasia, in which
the Paris-based producer sends the track spinning into
the delirious, club-amped stratosphere. “Technasia
Dub 1” features a series of head-spinning climaxes;
“Technasia Dub 2” specializes in shoulder-rolling
syncopation.
