Word + Sound = Power

“Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man” - JFK

Music with a message holds such a powerful force these days. DJs, MCs and producers are held in such high regard and are idolized, in parts, by many of their fans that sometimes these artists forget that they hold a very unique card in their pack. Word + Sound = Power

With the current age of technology and the levels of social communications media available and with the degree of separation ever decreasing, now is the perfect time to use music as a vehicle for revolution, not revolution of arms and violence but revolution of the hearts, minds, ideas and ideals.

Music can be used as an educational medium, highlighting many of the world’s injustices and contradictions; also, through lyrics, and positive songs, music can enlighten as well as inspire; this makes music a very powerful entity.

Music is also the one true common language; it can touch every nationality and has no boundaries, it is a unifying force like none other in the world, it is for this reason that it should be used with the greatest purpose.

There are many examples of artists who have devoted their whole ethos and career to the furtherment of good positive music, it is just that the majority now need to follow and need to realize the full potential power it has to be used to make a change for the better.

Positive Lyrics + Good Music = Audio Revolution

Music is a mission, not a competition! 1

Combining a sophisticated groove with an arcane core and manipulating sounds to the highest quality, Octane & DLR truly shook the drum & bass community in 2011, culminating appearances at Fabric in London, Star Warz in Belgium, to Outlook Festival in Croatia and a remarkable Australia / New Zealand tour. With an innate ability to apply an effortless funk to a purely technical undercurrent, 2011 saw them produce some of the dancefloor’s most unique creations, such as the callously percussive ‘Mainframe’ and the casually sinister ‘Red Mist’. The pair have consistently advanced their distinctive sound, to the escalating lure of listeners, labels and promoters worldwide. 

Their reputation for superb technical production led to the highly successful Drum & Bass Rollers sample pack for Loopmasters. Providing an array of bass textures and various drum hits and synths, this has enabled aspiring producers across the globe the chance to manipulate and adapt the much sought after Octane & DLR sound to their own specifications. In the coming months, they will also release 64 Patches for Native Instruments new FM8 project, offering an essential production tool to further inspire up and coming talent.

2012 is shaping up to be an astounding year for the duo and their demand has been met by endorsement from respected companies such as Magma DJ Bags, Serato, Tool Room Publishing and THTC. Forthcoming release material includes remix work for Horizons, including Amoss’ ceaseless roller ‘Footloose’, Gerra & Stone’s irrefutable ‘Dronehead’ for Alignment, alongside further releases on Ram Records and Symmetry. This is all preceded by their highly anticipated debut album, appearing on Dispatch Recordings in Early Summer. The project is set to be a true masterpiece of natural soundscapes, dark and twisting bass-forms and cinematic interludes, featuring collaborations with Break, Cern and EBK, With Outlook Festival confirmed and Album Tour information now being drafted up, Octane & DLR are set to take the scene by storm in 2012.
