Just ordered the vinyl. Listening to their mix ahead of their Boiler Room session:

Pretty fantastic mix I must say.

 

Oh and this description of this release has me even more excited:

 

Medium” arrives as the first non-studio based production by emptyset, recorded on location in the remote Woodchester Mansion in Gloucestershire UK. The collection of tracks explores the duo’s preoccupations with the elemental properties of sound and bare rhythmic structures and overlays it onto the textural possibilities

of space and material. The project marks their first act of adapting their analogue

based studio system into an architectural intervention, pushing extreme bass and

feedback into the irregular spaces of the unfinished building. The rural mansion, which remains an incomplete remnant of the gothic revival and a place studied by

both architectural researchers and psychic investigators, provides a rich source of

texture as the sparse palette of sine waves and noise is adorned with the intricate details of the space. Medium emerges as an act of translation remodeling the

house through sonic impulses into a state of audio, a fluid transformative gesture

and a process mirroring the sonar impulses of the bats residing within

Woodchester's rooftop sanctuary.

The project, supported by the Woodchester Mansion Trust, was provided technical support by the renowned Bristol based sound engineer Mat Sampson who managed the array of vintage microphones and preamps distributed within the building along with the central monophonic sound system.
