A while back Robin from Makina Books gave me a stash of 8 wrapped, sealed and ink-stamped editions of the Perpetual Skip book which had long since sold out.
I'd planned to make them available when i play live, that hardly ever happens so I'm making them available here with all proceeds going directly to Hackney Foodbank.
And if you want the full sensory experience Outer Reaches still has copies of the accompanying LP on their Bandcamp.
Bleep said:
"Straight from the metropole’s edge lands—a place of boy racers with glowing undercarriages and poorly funded train station platforms—comes the interstitial world of Middex. Who better to offer Perpetual Skip than those from the margins?”
Makina say:

About the book
Perpetual Skip is the new collection of poetic prose from the electrifying voice of Middex. In this bookwork, 11 sermons, once soaked in pools of echo are orphaned from the noise – taking on an urgent and compelling archive—(non) prayers stoked by vivid light. Here, words are on the move, crossing all zones—sprawling grounds of a strange borough—with broken catholic memories and colour. In Skinhead on a Raft we follow the arc of a smoked and discarded cigarette and stay with it on the floor. Discarded cigarette, discarded truths. Glue Preference honours the writers in the unlit underground yards. Stories look outwards; through a scratch-tagged bus window, to the ceiling (and beyond) of a rented flat, and into the canal—rank and receiving. Perpetual Skip is a constant. A beautiful mess with a million stories. ‘Oh it loves a mess – and the mess – is the moss – of denial.’
