About four years ago, a group of songwriters, producers, and DIYers from Long Island, New York banded together with a common obsession for making independent electronic music. On August 15th, 2009, The Midi Bear Family released their first compilation titled "Midi Bear And Friends" featuring tracks from members State Machine, kid_sputnik, theDEXorphan, Kid Versus Chemical, and Neorev. A collection showcasing a wide spectrum of electronic music genres, including dance, experimental, 8 bit, and IDM to name a few. In the summer of 2014, we plan to release a follow up to this compilation featuring a plethora of underground producers from New York and across the globe. As the years passed, our individual styles have evolved and expanded... but everything has a beginning, so sit back and listen to our first ever release originally released in the summer of 2009.
