Sadly, we have to announce that midnightminustwo is closing it's doors.

It's been a good ride, but due to many, and we mean many, factors we are ceasing trading.

We don't know how much longer the great releases we've been a part of will be in the shops, so if you were thinking of getting them and haven't yet, we'd advise you to do so, before they disappear into the ether.

The site will be here till February 2011, and the free tunes and releases will be available till then. Some will be available at blackdogindustries.co.uk, clodhoppa's own site.

The radio show will end in September, making way for a new show, hosted by mmii backroom boys clodhoppa and mike DVNT, so if you've enjoyed the show, you should enjoy the new incarnation.

All that's left is to thank all of you that have supported, visited and downloaded our music over the past couple of years, and also to thank all the artists that have been involved.

We really couldn't have done what we have without you.

So thankyou, and goodbye.

Phil Clodhoppa

Yes, today midnightminustwo is one year old!

We've had a great year with a cracking 'proper' debut with James Fox's 'Problems Solve Themselves, OG's 'Bubbling' and Koro Inu's 'Black Dog Dubs', as well as the sampler, Clodhoppa ep and the three free tracks on our special ep greeting the world all starry-eyed and womb-wet.

So I'd like to take this opportunity to say thanks to all involved, the artists, mike DVNT, dean at Dispersion, Chris at Melograf and all the other people (including my family!) that have made it all happen, not least you lot, the people who read, listen to and buy our stuff. You're bloody great you are.

We've come a long way, but we've got an even more exciting year ahead, with artist eps and albums from Mr Minimax, Steelo, La La & The Boo Ya and Clodhoppa all headed your way. We're also looking at hitting the road with some acts, so if you want to keep up to date with our various doing of things, make sure you subscribe to our newsletter on the midnightminustwo site (www.themidnightfamily.co.uk/mmii).>

Here's to making the tricky second year a good one!
