Midfield General, real name Damian Harris, is the original founder of the Skint Records label, which became the forerunner of the big success of Norman Cook’s Fatboy Slim.

Midfield General is the recording alias of Skint label boss Damian Harris. A prime architect of the sound of big beat, Harris grew up listening first to punk rock, then hip-hop, and finally acid house. He then moved to Brighton to study art, eventually taking work as a DJ while promoting clubs around the city. In 1994, his music knowledge landed him a job at Loaded Records, where former Housemartins member Norman Cook - a friend of Harris’ since his days working at the Rounder store in Brighton - recorded as Pizzaman.

I think Midfielding has to be THE best song ever. Stand-up in a song? Noel Fielding? Brilliant. [2]
