Emerging from the epic Scottish house and techno scene of the 90s, George Thomson
started his musical adventures as a promoter, bringing to Scotland DJs from Chicago, New
York, Toronto, Paris and London to play at the legendary Tribal Funktion parties in
Edinburgh.
Aside from co-founding Edinburgh's Underground Solushn record shop, he also started
producing his own blend of techno and house in the mid-nineties. This led to a string of
releases with seminal labels such as NRK, Stickman, 2020 vision, Crosstown Rebels, Tirk
and more recently Greco-Roman and Output Recordings. His various monikers from then
and now include Plastic Avengers, George Demure and more recently the George part of
of Jeanga and George.
After a move to London in 2000 his George T moniker began a long hiatus.
Nothing was heard until Joe Goddard released an EP of rediscovered hidden gems on
Greco-Roman in 2017. This awoke the fire within and he’s back today with the first new
George T material in 19 years.
The Midway EP was recorded in North London over a period of 2 years. Using only analog
gear and embracing memory, movement and the moment.
These four tracks are a love letter to club life, both then and now. This love is best
demonstrated with the four accompanying short films using either nightclub footage from
1996, slow motion lido footage or Bauhaus triadic ballet inspired time lapse choreography.

Midway Day Sweats is the first extract of the EP and is accompanied by a the first video
using club footage shot at Tribal Funktion in 1996 by Christina Glitters.
