Octave One's set for us last year was phenomenal; the energy, setting and metronomic head twists made it a no-brainer for inclusion in our Best of 2014. If you're that way inclined, you can hear the story behind how Boiler Room helped relaunch their career in more depth over here [INSERT LINK TO MICHAIL INTERVIEW HERE], as relayed to Derek Plaslaiko and our very own Michail. Seven tracks from Moscow made it onto their new LP, due May 26th, of which "Afterglow" was arguably the strongest.
Much like the towering behemoth of "Blackwater", it's a synergy of styles; dozens of boxes chattering away to one another in harmony. Somehow the track manages to be both flinty hard and yet shimmering, the lead curdled and yet crystal-clear. It's dancefloor TNT, an emphatic return from the brothers Burden. Burn It Down indeed.

Octave One "Afterglow" - Boiler Room Debuts

In the early age of 13 Rick Richter got influenced by electronic music what turned out to be the beginnig of a truely satisfying passion and got part of his life. Until May 2007 Rick Richter has spend plenty of time, having private mixing sessions together with friends and playing at a few clubs in and close to Darmstadt and Frankfurt, yet without any perspective for more. Nevertheless there was an important turning point in Rick Richter’s DJ career, as he met Pierre Morgan on a private party he played on May the 1st. 

Feeling confident about Rick’s understanding of electronic music, a close friendship has been developed.After the first gig together with Pierre Morgan, the relation took its next step when Rick Richter got Resident DJ of Pierre Morgan’s project WILD HOUSE – the secret party society, including a number of gigs at the lounge of former PRODO X in Darmstadt, which had been renamed into WILD HOUSE LOUNGE. Playing as Resident at the Wild House Events, Rick Richter was pleased to spin records with DJ’s such as SEBBO, DJ Tanith, Andy Düx & Holgi Star aka Holger Nielson. 
Up from now, Rick Richter got more involved into Pierre Morgan’s project and established together with him an electronic music party community – a family that is constantly growing. 

Furthermore Rick Richter had been given the opportunity to play at some well known clubs, such as the Groove Club (Gelsenkirchen, GER), Lighthouse (Essen, GER) or at the unique CAVE CLUB in Salzburg (AUT). In 2009 Rick was asked to play at the OMEN Connection, a well known revival party series from Frankfurts most curious club in the 90's - The OMEN, hosted by Sven Väth. It was a real pleasure to play with DJ Dag, Remute and many more but especially because the OMEN had to shut its doors even before Rick Richter's career had begun. In that years Rick Richter created his own particular sound, which can be described as detroit techno focussed with constantly integration of deep and tech house as well as minimal sounds. Rick Richter creates everytime he plays a unique composition of tracks he loves. Electronic music is in Rick's case, like bringing people to go with him on a musical journey where the music lets you dive deeper and deeper and kicks you out again and again. 

In the past three years Rick started his own project GoingFurther and got involved into Berlin's famous lifestyle and music culture due to a close friendship with LALOQUITA, a berlin located underground fashion label. Out of that he played at several venues and Berlin's Butt & Better Parade, Karneval der Kulturen Berlin 2015. In addition to that he took part at the ECLIPSIS party in Wiesbaden and played next to AMIR (bouq) and others, which was such a great success that just a half year later Rick was invited to play as the main act at Eclipsis Family Event at Gambrinus Club in Bad Homburg and got part of the luxorlune community. Now Rick focusses on so called "Under300" events made by his community GoingFurther or other labels within the EU.
