B12 Records was founded in 1990 by Mike Golding and Steve Rutter as a vehicle for themselves and other like minded individuals to release electronic music for listening and dancing. Today, B12 Records -- spear-headed by the duo’s common pseudonym “B12” -- has exactly the same goal, to provide quality electronic music for futuristic feet and forward thinking minds.

Kirk Degiorgio - Isomer Shift EP
Title: Isomer Shift EP
Artist: Kirk Degiorgio
Cat. B1223
Format: Black Vinyl, Orange Vinyl, Download
Kirk Degiorgio, the man behind Future Past and As One, continues to innovate with unique sounds and dance floor friendly beats. The Isomer Shift EP is an uncompromising set of progressive dance floor beats in the tradition of Craig/Saunderson and Beltram.
The four tracks are outstanding 21st century techno, an instant Degiorgio classic with typically syncopated dance beats, beautiful chords and rhythms that create memorizing and energetic soundscape.
On the A side, ‘Isomer Shift’ is a perfect example of Degorigo’s relentless rhythmical talents. Twisted beats, beautiful strings and chords combine to create a master work of futuristic funk. Isidora, the second track brings bigger and spaceier atmospheres to a club fullfiled club beat.
The B side takes the future funk even deeper, great strings provide the backing for two tracks that see Degiorgio returning to his previous influences with rhythms and bass lines synonymous with Kirk’s much acclaimed earlier works.
