The genre-defying duo Midnite Pharmacy are set to drop their ‘Becoming’ EP, a bold three-track journey that navigates themes of transformation, connection, and escape. Showcasing their signature fusion of indie, electronic, and emotive storytelling, ‘Becoming’ marks a defining moment for the pair as they solidify their unique sound.
Midnite Pharmacy was founded by long-time friends Liam and Si, there with roots going back to Ibiza where the pair first met on a Monday morning at DC10 back in 2007. They both attended university in Leeds at the time, studying music while absorbing the buoyant club scene in the city during the mid 2000’s. After moving to London in 2012, they decided to engage their shared passion and make music together. The writing process began in their humble East London studio, taking influence from a variety of musical styles. For many years, Si performed in bands as a lead singer whilst honing his writing skills on piano and guitar. In contrast, Liam toured the world as DJ and producer playing house and techno. Their differing backgrounds help to solidify a unique and diverse sound which focuses around their live performance.
Along with the three tracker being their debut release, the UK based act are also launching their record label GRVTYWVS. The label will act as a creative outlet for the label founders, as well as a select roster of artists. “Gravitational Waves are transient displacements in a gravitational field. Our label was designed to reflect this theory metaphorically in the music we select to release.”
“Our debut EP marks the first music released by the band Midnite Pharmacy. The lead track, ‘Becoming’, defines our sound and direction, merging electronic and indie styles. For our first release, we wanted to showcase the core structure and depth of our sound.” – Midnite Pharmacy
Title track, ‘Becoming’, is a raw and introspective piece that explores grief, addiction, and the process of finding light amidst darkness. Originally conceived during lockdown as a piano-driven arrangement, the track evolved into a darker, more dissonant composition. The duo combined raw, organic drum patterns with a Moog bassline, layered guitar riffs, and a driving arpeggiator to create a powerful sonic journey. With emotionally charged lyrics that speak to inner struggles and self-realisation, ‘Becoming’ showcases the duo’s ability to balance vulnerability and dance-floor energy.
Written during a period of personal change, ‘Higher Being’ is an uplifting yet melancholic track that blends shoegaze-inspired indie guitars with house beats and emotional hooks. Drawing on unreciprocated feelings from a failed romance, the lyrics weave a bittersweet narrative, highlighted by a dark sense of humour. The song’s evolution was shaped by live performances, with added rhythm guitar giving it an authentic edge.
Inspired by the euphoria of 90s underground house and techno, ‘Transcendance’ is a celebration of rave culture. Built around a euphoric chord progression, the track features dynamic vocal melodies and harmonies layered over stripped-back instrumentation, leaving space for the duo’s collaborative vision to shine. The lyrics evoke the cathartic joy of losing yourself in music, capturing the abandonment of real-world stress and the freedom found on the dance floor. With its uplifting energy, ‘Transcendance’ encapsulates the ethos of electronic music as a source of escapism and connection.
We are presenting a radio edit of ‘Becoming’.
‘Becoming’ EP will be available after April 25th HERE.
