In his productions Andre Kronert performs a mesmerizing balancing act between two worlds. On the one side, there is the raw energy and explosive power of his ecstatic, repetitive rhythms. On the other side his style is characterized by subtle build-ups, filigree sound textures and the warmth of analogue synthesis.

"My trajectory, I hope, will always be uphill, in continuous musical evolution... I’m always hungry for new sound experiences, and I’ll put all my soul into it." - Raffaele Attanasio

The confines of contemporary music often ensnare a musician in a particular sound. Wrapped up in a box that defines and sells the 'product', that it's easier to digest for the modern consumer. It operates on a plane where it is assimilated in tiny soundbites that are quickly digested and moved on. Sound can get lost amongst trying to 'make it' or get likes. Music is not lost though; it exists as it always has and the passion for composing transcendent and transportive tracks exists in an artist like Raffaele Attanasio.

Born to a musician father in his home city of Naples, Attanasio was only satiated when listening to virtuoso maestros like Il Guardiano del Faro and Keith Emerson. Developing his prodigious ear, he trained on drums and then piano and his auspicious ability become apparent early. In his late teens, he ventured into DJing and electronic music production and has garnered plaudits from Jeff Mills, Len Faki and Ben Sims; even performing with Mills in a B2B live set and also Octave One. He found a home within the electronic music community, heading his own label Letter From Jerusalem, and releasing on others, such as Third Wave Black and Non Series. His label even released music from Douglas McCarthy of the band Nitzer Ebb.

What has never been lost on Attanasio is his eclectic flair. His releases span from nefarious techno - even releasing under his X-501 alias - to riveting Detroit inspired dance music with soulful piano. That piano may encapsulate a sound not many may equate to the Italian, but he now threads down a course that garners influences from his native Naples and musicians like Keith Jarret Duke Ellington and even Hans Zimmer. His artistic mould is shaped from by his experiences, and these are laid bare in his jazz-tinged sound on his album Nuovo Futuro, which was released on Axis records. Kaleidoscopic in his quenching of musical thirst, Attanasio keeps music in its purest form. These melodic air vibrations evoke something opaque, yet wildly pulchritudinous, regardless of the audience.

Octave is a Techno artist from France and the owner of "Silent Steps Records".

He grew up within a musical atmosphere and had his first experience with turntables in 2003 and thereafter concentrated more and more on a minimal approach to Techno, and started to produce by himself in early 2007. After his first steps into the techno field with some releases in 2007-2008, he was chosen by Richie Hawtin to take part of the "Sounds From Can Elles" project, and saw one of his track released on M_nus by the end of 2008.

Early 2009, he started to develop his own Live and to play in some clubs in Europe - including Tresor - with fantastic reactions to his sets on the dancefloor.

Fall 2010, Octave creates his own imprint with the label Silent Steps Records, several collaborations came out from this project already, with many talented artists from the Techno scene all around the globe like Drumcell, Audio Injection, Perc, Kyle Geiger, Ryuji Takeuchi, Luis Flores and many others.

Since 2010/2011, Octave has the chance to play a lot of gigs every months around Europe - also in the USA with a tour in April 2012 - and sometimes alongside very good artists like Speedy J, Cell Injection or Perc, including in his own label nights.

These days Octave continues to develop and is constantly evolving. His music combines a deep-rooted foundation of Techno underlined by stirring basslines and grooves, glitch moments, and hypnotic background atmospheres.
