B12 RECORDS ARCHIVE VOLUME 5

Volume five of this time travelling epic series showcases B12's (Mike Golding and Steve Ruter) pseudonym Redcell and introduces the first B12 releases from Stasis (Steve Pickton). The double CD set collects two original vinyl EP's and a limited edition, and rare, CD from 1993, the same year as B12 epic Warp album Electro Soma. These 15 stirring tracks, from what some have called the `Golden Age of Techno', have a timeless quality that transcends their age, a quality that affords them a vacuum-packed freshness. CD1 Collects the Redcell explorations of Mike Golding and Steve Rutter from 1993 which were only previously released on limited edition vinyl, B1208 and extremely hard to find limited CD release B12CD1. These tracks were extensions of the seminal album Electro Soma, released in the same year, they seamlessly intermingle to create a perfect futuristic soundtrack leaving the listener in no doubt that pure Techno music can be creative, powerful, emotional and danceable at the same time. Included on this disc are another two previously unreleased B12 tracks, recorded in 1993. CD2, showcases the B12 Records releases of Stasis (Steve Pickton) and demonstrates that Mike Golding and Steve Rutter are also able to hand pick classic tracks as well as create them. The funk meets Techno inspired music from Stasis shows true innovation and flare which remains unequalled even now. Point of no Return remains a classic of the time, quite possibly one of the techno classics of all time.
