One of Warp's original signees, B12 are an electronic music duo consisting of Mike Golding and Steve Rutter. First appearing in the early 1990s under a variety of monikers, the duo were often mistaken as hailing from Detroit, their sound being comparable to the so-called second wave of Detroit techno, but after the release of their cult classic album 'Electro-Soma', they went from anonymous figures on the fringe of the dance scene to emblems of techno and IDM. Originally released in 1993 as part of WARP's much-lauded Artificial Intelligence series, B12’s 'Electro-Soma' is a fearsomely beautiful work. More than 30 years after the album's debut, the music remains firmly in the future, with sci-fi designs and languid rhythms unfolding in cinematic fashion. Few artists get such beauty out of their machines as B12. Performing Electro-Soma live, this serves as a true bucket-list performance.
