Nation 12 is a project that started life as a collaboration between electronic pioneer John Foxx and Bomb The Bass's Tim Simenon back in 1989. at the time the 21-year-old Simenon's hip hop beats and music cut-ups were right at the cutting edge of British music, as he'd not only constructed his own Number 2 single, 'Beat Dis' but in 1988 the dance innovator also co-produced Neneh Cherry's Top 10 hits 'Buffalo Stance' and 'Manchild'. In addition to his love for hip hop, the Brixton born producer was also a fan of electronic music, especially Depeche Mode, Fad Gadget and John Foxx.
