Octave One

Lenny Burden and Lawrence Burden have been at the very forefront of techno since day one. As Octave One they've helped shape the sounds of the genre and their ever-evolving live sets show no sign of slowing down.

Although the outfit usually release via their own 430 West imprint, they've dropped killer cuts on Tresor, Underground Resistance and Concept Music. Now they're on the verge of releasing their fifth long-player and 'Burn It Down' promises to be more of the eclectic, devilishly-banging same.

Ten tracks of heavy-artillery techno are set for release on May 26 and you can expect a wide set of musical styles to be covered. We've got a free download of 'New Life' and if you like your music centred around hugely-uplifitng vocals, you'll be pretty pleased with this one.

Afrika Ansa-Pratt supplies some silky smooth verses which are backed by a rolling groove, fierce cymbals and euphoria-inducing synths. Octave One once again at their best and it's yours for absolutely nothing. We do spoil you.

'Burn It Down' by Octave One will be released on may 26 via 430 West
