B12 is a British electronic music duo consisting of Mike Golding and Steve Rutter. Golding and Rutter, who shy away from the press and rarely give interviews, have also released material under the monikers Musicology and CStasis, and distribute their material on their own B12 record label. Their sound is usually categorized as ambient techno or intelligent dance music (IDM).

Their first full-length album, Electro-Soma, is a collection of early work (some tracks originally released with the Musicology and CStasis names) which was released by Warp Records in 1993. In addition, their music has appeared on the Warp compilation album Artificial Intelligence. A printing error on the CD insert indicates that this album contains twelve tracks, and in fact it has thirteen ("Drift", originally thought to be available only on the vinyl version of the album, is in fact on the CD release too).
