Midnite Bio: ...Midnite explodes in live performances with sets that often exceed 3 hours. Their vigorous, weighty sound, driven by the punchy bass lines creates a vibe that penetrates straight to the heart. These epic musical communions have earned Midnite an enormous following throughout the roots community. This is especially true in St. Croix, Puerto Rico, France, Brazil, St. Louis, New York, Martha's Vineyard, Boston, Vermont, Asheville and here on the West Coast where they have toured extensively including another rousing appearance at the 10th Annual Sierra Nevada World Music Festival.

In the fall of 2003, Midnite released their first dub album "Intense Pressure" on the Rastafaria label, which includes some tracks from their prior releases along with some dubs of forthcoming albums. Midnite has released studio albums "Ainshant Maps" on their Afrikan Roots Lab record label and "Scheme A Things" on the Rastafaria label.

Midnite has also collaborated with I Grade Records for five releases: "Nemozian Rasta", "Assini" "Vijan", "Let Live" & "Jah Grid" Vaughn Benjamin lead singer of Midnite has also released albums under the name Midnite Branch I and collaborations: "Cipheraw", "Geoman", "He Is Jah" "Project III", "Full Cup", Thru & True, Aneed, "Sun's Of Atom", "New 1000", "Bless Go Roun", "Better World Rasta" and "Infinite Quality" on the Lustre King label.

For the first quarter 0f 2008 Midnite has recently recorded a brand new studio album "Maschaana" & pulled from the vaults a rare never released recording titled "Kayamagon" and a first ever Live to disc CD "Midnite Live" Vol.1, all of these new releases will be available in February 2008 to support the Midnite Winter 2008 Tour.

By breaking all the rules, Midnite is setting a new standard. Armed with a firm foundation in Jah Rastafari, their natural talents, and a strong and uncompromising musical vision, Midnite champions a unique sound that is on the cutting edge of modern roots music.
