Octave One playing for their first time ever in New York City! The brothers (Lenny and Lawrence Burden, along with revolving band members Lynell, Lorne and Lance Burden) have been monsters of the Detroit techno and dance scene for over two decades now and seeing them live always reaffirms their stature as one of pioneering "second wave" groups coming out of the Detroit techno scene. I have been fortunate enough to see them play in Detroit and was excited to catch their set at The Bunker - THE place for techno in New York City/Brooklyn. The timing worked out just right as I had flown into the city Friday night for the Electric Zoo weekend - NYC's Electronic Dance Music festival. A bangin' set that could have lasted longer than the 2am-3am slot the duo was ! For those of you not familiar with the duo, check out their MySpace page for some killer tracks.

Hrdvsion opened for Octave One. Hardvsion is the brother of Mathew Jonson of Wagon Repair (Canada) fame... a groundbreaking label releasing the best in electronic music including tracks by Adam Beyer, Coobblestone Jazz, Glacier/Pier Bucci, and more.
