Polyrythmic Electronica

A 5 track leftfield/idm ep (26m 46s) — released May 26th 2023 on System Of Objects

Benge is the influential electronica artist who launched the Expanding Records label in 1995. Polyrythmic Electronica is one of the underrated gems from Benge's discography, opening the series of re-issues from digital to vinyl on the new System Of Objects imprint. Remastered and presented for the first time as a 12" package, Polyrythmic Electronica, was originally released on CD in 1997. It displays Benge's distinctive take on the Electronica/IDM genres. In this 5 track EP, he explores tempos and textures reminiscent of the early sounds of Bola, Wagon Christ or The Higher Intelligence Agency.

"I made this extended player back in 1997, when my studio was still in the living room of my first house. The tracks were made on my fledgeling electronic studio using a combination of Roland 808 drum machine and Moog Modular IIIC synthesiser, an Akai S950 sampler and my trusty Atari sequencer, plus a bit of Lexicon LXP1 and Quadraverb for good measure., The idea I had back then was to use traditional electro-music equipment and compositional tropes, but to try and twist them into unconventional and hopefully interesting new territories. " Benge
