Arriving onto the electronic scene with "I Believe", featured on the monumental (10 Records) compilation "Techno 2: The Next Generation" (alongside Carl Craig, Marc Kinchen, and Jay Denham) in 1990, Octave One is the brainchild of the phenomenal native sons of Detroit, MI (USA), the Burden Brothers. The core unit of the band, made up of Lenny and Lawrence Burden (with revolving members of Lynell, Lorne, and Lance Burden), have had the privilege of bringing their high energy live shows to many parts of the world, including Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, UK, and the USA, among many other places.

The brothers have released groundbreaking dance anthems on their own Detroit based record label, 430 West Records. Including DJ Rolando's "Jaguar", Random Noise Generation's "Falling in Dub" (the other Burden brother moniker), Aux 88's "My A.U.X. Mind" (on the 430 West sister label Direct Beat), as well as their own Octave One recordings: "Empower", "Nicolette", 'The X-files", "Meridian", “Love and Hate”, “The Greater Good”, and 'Siege". They have remixed tracks for such artists as Massive Attack, Akabu (Joey Negro), DJ Rolando (Jaguar), Steve Bug, John Thomas, Aril Brikha, Vince Watson, The Trampps, Rhythm is Rhythm, and Inner City.

Rita Ribeiro

Portuguese-born and raised, Rita Ribeiro discovered her passion for music at an early age, starting to play the violin at just five years old alongside her father. From there, her curiosity and dedication evolved into a lifelong relationship with sound.

A self-taught DJ with a unique approach to mixing, Rita gained recognition after winning the 2004 Heineken Thirst Deejay Contest — a milestone that propelled her onto the Portuguese underground house scene and soon after to international stages.

Over the years, Rita has performed across diverse venues and festivals, earning respect for her distinctive style, technical precision, and ability to connect with audiences.

In 2012, she was appointed UAE Ambassador for PUMA Middle East, a role that further highlighted her influence as both an artist and cultural figure.
