Process aka Steve Barnes is a respected member of the English electronic-scene for now over three years. Alongside Peter Ford, SND and Mathew Herbert he has developed a specific English style of minimal dance music. His modern and groove orientated music deals with abstract sound design, sometimes non-rhythmic, sometimes rhythm led. The overall concept underlying the 'Process Sound' is to explore music´s relation to space and therefore picks on the heritage of true English Minimalism such as LFO, Sweet Exorcist etc. He has released three breathtaking 12"s since 1999 on the Cologne based label Traum: 'Integ', 'Process Remixes Elektronische Musik Aus Buenos Aires' and 'Horizon' which have had an overwhelming response. Since then process has build up a worldwide following, consisting of people interested in abstracts sounds as well as clubbers who seek the unorthodox four to the floor beat. Sven Väth's radio show on hessen 3 has highlighted his work here in Germany, as has The Wire in England and several magazines around the globe. Apart from his Traum records he released on Fat Cat in 2000 the CD & vinyl album Shape Space, a split EP with Dat Politics and on the Hefty label, the American equivalent to Fat Cat, 'Immediate Action Series'. The newest release Traum CD4: Pattern Recognition is not only a compilation of his Traum releases but also contains previously unreleased music. With this predominantly dance orientated CD Process reveals his talent to produce playfull and also geometrically straight tracks. What all tracks have in common, is a love for physical music and in the last consequence an acknowledgement for youth culture.
