The Legendary Brothers of Detroit Techno Announce the First New Release in 3 Years on 430 West

Detroit, MI, United States - Electronic dynamic duo Octave One announce the release of their new SINGLE and new LIVE TOUR for 2008.

Electronic dynamic duo Octave One, Lawrence and Lenny Burden, announce the release of their new SINGLE, “I NEED RELEASE” b/w “HERE COMES THE PUSH”, on their own reborn label, 430 West Records.

Collaborating once again with Ann Saunderson (the vocalist on their hit single “Blackwater”, 2002), and MC P.Gruv (from their “The Theory of Everything” album, 2004), the brothers have produced a dance floor heavy double sided single. “I Need Release” blends Ann’s angelic vocals with the Burden’s signature rough and tumble production style, while “Here Comes The Push” takes a percussion driven ride off the edge, with P.Gruv as your guide. The tracks are already gracing the decks of the likes of Jeff Mills, Laurent Garnier, Carl Craig, Richie Hawtin, and Claude Young among many others. This project leads to the release of Octave One’s first studio album in four years, “Summers on Jupiter” (September 2008), also on 430 West Records.

Detroit Techno Militia is strengthening it's RECON:313 division with two new members, Dimitri Pike (Wildtek Concept) and Maxx T. (Code 316 Recordings).  

Dimitri Pike is returning to active duty with DTM after taking a short sabbatical to get his record label, Wildtek Concept, established.  Dimitri is a talented DJ and Producer with several releases under his belt.  His love for Detroit Techno runs deep and his heart is here in the city.

Maxx T. is joining our ranks after playing a show with T.Linder & DJ Seoul during the RECON:313 Tour in Europe.  Maxx has been a long time supporter of Detroit Techno and he fully represents that in everything he does.  Maxx founded his own record label, Code 316 Recordings, and runs the #1 French website for Detroit Techno: Go To Detroit.

One of the things that we Detroiters like to brag about is the serious amount of talent that’s here. One such artist is Bill Stacy, aka DJ Seoul. He‘s been on the set for so long that people can sometimes take for granted his impeccable mixing skill. All of that may change soon, as Seoul is finally bubbling up from the underground to make his presence known on a global scale.

Fresh off of Detroit Techno Militia’s European tour, RECON:313, he recounts his slow but sure rise to notoriety. “As a child, I was formally trained on the drums — counter-culture sounds and movements really motivated me,” Seoul says. “I‘m still into drums, as well as other traditional and electronic instruments.” Like so many of us, his introduction to electronic music came from two familiar sources: The Wizard (Jeff Mills) and the Electrifying Mojo, both of whom had mainstream radio shows in the ‘80s and early-‘90s. He cites other Detroit artists for influencing his DJ style, like Kenny Dixon Jr., Theo Parrish, Terrance Parker and Aux 88. In 1995, DJ Seoul was officially born at Juan Atkins’ Metroplex Records ten-year-anniversary event. Since then, he has developed a DJ style that is more akin to hip-hop turntablism, focusing on mixing and scratching, which is not the easiest of tasks when playing house and techno. DJ Seoul will be performing Saturday, March 22 at Corktown Tavern for the Funktion 2.0 event. Visit bangtech12.com.

A deeper respect to my Detroit brothas who rocked and offered excellent performances. T.linder started it and we was all stuned by the music, The Mercenary played pure D club tracks and Seoul showed us what scratch is ... Hope you'll enjoy pics and vids.
