We meet Detroit duo, Octave One, at ADE in the first of three
shows recorded at the Andaz Hotel in Amsterdam last month.

Brothers Lenny and Lawrence Burden made their techno debut on
Derrick May´s Transmat label with I Believe in 1989.

It was the start of their 35 year career and was included on the
compilation Techno 2: The Next Generation.

It marked the start of their LIVE performance and shows they
deliver in a very hardware heavy fashion.

With their other brother Lynell, they formed the record label 430
West Records to release the vinyl record Octave One "The
Octivation EP" and have remixed recordings for Massive Attack,
Joey Negro, DJ Rolando, Steve Bug amongst many others.

In 2000 they released their most commercially successful
recording, "Blackwater" but say it took them in a direction they
didn´t want to go and returned quickly to a more underground
style.
