London's William Doyle creates innovative, beautifully-constructed, critically-acclaimed music under the name East India Youth. While he's only been active for a few years at this point, he's quickly turned heads with his 2014 Mercury Prize-nominated debut, Total Strife Forever, and his recent 2015 album, Culture Of Volume, for his new label XL Records. His exclusive mix for Midnight In A Perfect World exposes his love for dark, driving, physical, UK-centric techno with some strong enveloping tracks from artists such as Holly Herndon, Blanck Mass, Paula Temple, and Perc, as well as his own remix of emerging vocalist/composer artist Sasha Siem.
