KING MIDAS SOUND is Londoner / experimental / dub producer KEVIN "THE BUG" MARTIN, Afro Caribbean Poet ROGER ROBINSON and Japanese Graphic Artist / Musician KIKI HITOMI. They released their debut album "Waiting for You" on the Hyperdub label in December 2009. Now, in the tradition of dub, they have reworked their album with help from friends GREEN GARTSIDE (Scritti Politti), GANG GANG DANCE, FLYING LOTUS, ROBERT LOWE, NITE JEWEL, HYPE WILLIAMS, KODE9, COOLY G and others. Titled Without You, it arrives in November.

This album starts to bridge the gap between the Lovers Rock of their debut and the full on onslaught of their live show which has been described as "My Bloody Valentine in dub." In August the band released the first taster - a video for the KUDEO reworking of "Goodbye Girl":
