about

Mike Golding, also known as one half of B12, debuts on Delsin. Since the early nineties he has been a key artist in shaping the sound of IDM and electronic as part of B12. Releases on Warp and their own B12 Records have become landmarks that sounds as good today as they did 25 years ago and now he steps up on Delsin under his own name with four more timeless cuts. This is his first official EP for more than a decade since the last B12 material with Steve Rutter, which itself came after a ten year hiatus, a welcome return with more to come.

'Game Of Chance' is a bristling mix of drum grooves and tender pads that tugs at the heart strings while also making a dance floor impact. ’Source Code' is a futuristic slice of electronic with Detroit drums and spinning hi hats run through with cosmic synth lines that glisten brightly. There is a skittish energy to the IDM tinged techno of ’Semaphores', with its whirring machines and sombre synths, while closer 'Boosenbender' bumps along with impish spirits sinewy pads tying you in knots. This is avant guard machine music with a very real sense of soul.

The whole album is amazing. Empires is, overall, my favorite ... (1) Because it's extra quirky (2) It's the longest track on the album ... and I like long tracks. Whole album is great, though. 5/5 stars. 10/10.... all we need is more of Shima! And, I think, a trio collaboration between John Shima, Derek Carr and, of course, Mr Rutter himself would be extra special :) simplybeourselves
