Bit Folder
About
Bit Folder is a project by Mike Golding, he marks his first appearance on Analogical Force with an EP full of emotive and acidic electronics. A dreamy journey through fragility and the ephemeral. Simply sublime from a true master.
There may be a way to untangle the Bit Folder riddle through listening to the artist's EP Silicon Frontier from Central Processing Unit. There is classic early Warp in here, a dash of Rephlex too.
Like the classic 90s techno/IDM that it channels, this record gleams with the sounds of the android future. Keyboards glisten and shimmer, beats glitching or slowing down completely; hi-hats open and close like steam valves; synth lines move in and out of each other to create all these lovely little cells of melody.
Even while it channels the sounds of some of electro's most important sites - Detroit, London, CPU's native Sheffield - Bit Folder's debut EP Silicon Frontier still manages to sound fresh and new.
