"It’s warmer in the middle of the road but somehow even cooler. The Middle People - balanced on the edge, half a step from Heaven.” (Richard Cabut).

The Middle People are a transcontinental art-pop and electronic-dance project formed by UK musician Mikey Georgeson and Portuguese visual artist António Olaio. Their music is a blend of catchy, warm electronic pop, surrealist lyrics, and avant-garde theatricality, heavily tied together by their multidisciplinary, "arty" backgrounds.

Their songs mix poetry, spoken word, and unconventional vocal textures. Their music has been described as "the pleasurable sound of the abyss in a haunted Bluetooth headset". They use quirky lyrics alongside vintage-leaning synths, drum machines, and bright melodies with a sense of playful absurdity.
