Point B [UK] Live
first appearance in Belgium

Point B is the creation of Richard Bultitude who began recording at 15 years of age in Birkenhead, Merseyside. Since the days of four-track recording Richard embraced computer technology and converted many of his experimental guitar compositions to electronica under the guise of 'Platforrm'. Meandering down a slightly darker route 'Point B' was conceived in 2000 when Richard moved to London.

Having performed live and Djing at events (such as Casio Rock, Imposter & Wheels Instead of Hooves) for many years he put together his first commercial release for Erratica records in 2003 with the four track e.p. 'knowone'. Although only a small quantity were pressed, it received much praise from peers and retailers alike (see extract 1.1). The title track Knowone has been played regularly in the clubs by the likes of Mat Carter (Dedbeat / Haywire) and the b-side track 'breathindeep' track on XFM radio by Nick Luscombe. Point b has also performed alongside the likes Andy Weatherall, Lusine ICL, Pole and Soundmurderer.

A remix of Transparent Sound's seminal 'freaks frequency' is out on promo and due out for general release by the end of May. A four track e.p. named 'Fictionary' is also due out on Orson Records in June this year. See extract 1.2 for a review from DJ Magazine.
More releases (possibly an album) are planned with Erratica in 2004.

1.1
'First release from this London based record label - and it promises to be one to keep tabs on. Two tracks on each side - one side of dark and scary electro / breaks business very much in the Tipper / Si Begg / CFM / Posthuman vein of things. Flip for the mellow side - Beat driven electronic with plenty of melody - reminiscent of folks like L'usine, Funckarma etc. Good record - recommended.' Smallfish

1.2
Following his remix of Transparent Sound's 'Freaks Frequency', Point B flies solo with his dark and experimental take on dancefloor breaks. The pervy title track features the sound of a female orgasm over funky electro-breaks. 'King Cirrus' fuses Aphex or Squarepusher's reckless sense of breakbeat abandon with epic red planet soundscapes and 'Erosion' ends the EP in style with a night drive to the sonic alleyways once inhabited by Model 500.
