Focus Music Notes. "Out of the Blues". Popular music through the decades

When you hear that an Owl, a Fox and a Cat walked into a room together, you’d probably think it’s the start of a bad joke; but in the case of DJ/Producer trio MDNT, this is where their musical journey began. Brought together through a shared love for all things nocturnal; MDNT make music for the star-gazers, the party-goers, the insomniacs, the skateboarders, the gamers and everyone in between, collectively known as "The Creatures of the Night". “When the 9 to 5 is going to sleep, we are just waking up.” Heavily influenced by pop culture, hip hop and fashion, MDNT set out to create timeless, tongue-in-cheek anthems that resonate with the youth of today.

Le Cheval believes a track needs warmth, humour, a massive chunk of house, a smidge of afrobeat and healthy slice of arrogance. This perfect blend is defiantly felt in these two anthems in the making. His production is influenced by some of electronic dance music’s biggest acts including Daft Punk
