"When I think of forward thinking dance music, I always think ?John Digweed?. For me, this is the maturity of trance and electronic music in general. Its music for the dance floor, but also for the mind and I love this combination. You have all the freedom to compose, to search and to innovate. Its Pink Floyd in the 21st Century."

'Pole Folder is one of the most consistent and talented producers I've heard over the years. As far as the first ever artist album on Bedrock goes, he was the natural choice as there's been a link since we signed 'Apollo Vibes' after opening my GU: Los Angeles album with it, right through 'Dust' on MMII to the outstanding production you?ll hear here. This album is a really broad soundscape of music with feeling; downbeat building records, driving, urgent breaking tracks and mind blowing cinematic scale and production?all with a thread running through it. He's a genuine talent with a passion and a vision behind everything he does. Zero Gold is a brilliant reflection of that talent.'
John Digweed
Pole Folder & Bedrock
Pole Folder debuted on Bedrock Records in 2001 with a track conceived around space echoes and a strange collaboration of sounds called ?Apollo Vibes?. The massive underground response to this song, used by John Digweed to open his ?Global Underground ? Los Angeles? album was the beginning of Pole Folder?s career and his close collaboration with Bedrock.
A worthy follow up to ?Apollo Vibes? came with the fantastic AA, ?Enter the Rhythm? / ?Waxxx? and "Dust" in particular confirmed to the electronic scene that this was a new musician to watch with interest.
The Album
It took Pole Folder almost 2 years to produce "Zero Gold", a timeframe necessary to develop the complete idea of the concept and his musical translation of the ideas into an album.
Drawing on inspiration from artists like Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Massive Attack and Talk Talk Pole Folder has strived to maintain a common theme behind the tracks on the album, and this is reflected in the consistent and very predominant idea that it is sometimes that what we fear shapes our decisions, and motivates the purpose rather than our desires
From ?Abrasion? to ?Before it all changes? Pole Folder shares his analysis of the fears and doubts which afflict the human condition and that despite the palpable presence of melancholy made evident through the lyrics, and the atmospheric tone, a delicate optimism rises from the album.
Each track merges subtly into the next, to create a complete voyage of exactly 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
"Zero Gold" is not simply a dance album. It is a carefully crafted work, grounded in timeless musical concepts, stellar production and genuinely felt artistic presence. It acknowledges its influences without parodying them and is ultimately an expression of the artist?s endeavor played out through the use of modern technologies and musical techniques.
