The night wraps 'round like a velvet glove,
A tender breeze whispers dreams above,
Stars wink slyly, as if they know,

Pale blue moonlight, it holds me tight,
Dancing shadows in silver light,
Pale blue moonlight, soft and low,
A quiet rhythm, a gentle glow.

[Verse 2]
The world slows down, the clocks all sleep,
A melody hums, soft and deep,
The echoes linger, sweet and kind,
A fleeting kiss of time unlined.

[Chorus]
Pale blue moonlight, it holds me tight,
Dancing shadows in silver light,
Pale blue moonlight, soft and low,
A quiet rhythm, a gentle glow.

[Bridge]
Oh, if the dawn must break this spell,
I’ll keep the memory, guard it well,
A stolen moment, pure and true,
Bathed in velvet’s tender hue.

[Chorus]
Pale blue moonlight, it holds me tight,
Dancing shadows in silver light,
pale blue moonlight, soft and low,
A quiet rhythm, a gentle glow.

Your shadow sways, a dance so slow.

A quiet storm, velvet and fire.

Velvet whispers, fire burns,
A tango twist, the night returns.
One step closer, hearts conspire,
Wrapped in rhythm, velvet and fire.

[Verse 2]
Your hand in mine, a daring tease,
The scent of smoke, the salt of seas.
The city hums, a muted choir,
A love ignites, velvet and fire.

[Prechorus]
Oh, the heat, the hush, the sway,
Each heartbeat pulling us away.

[Chorus]
Velvet whispers, fire burns,
A tango twist, the night returns.
One step closer, hearts conspire,
Wrapped in rhythm, velvet and fire.

[Bridge]
Footsteps echo on cobblestones,
Two souls lost, but not alone.
A fleeting kiss, a spark entire,
Bound together, velvet and fire.

[Verse]
In the corner, shadows play,
A glass of red, the night’s ballet.
Cigarette smoke curls, a fleeting ghost,
In this room, you’re the perfect host.

[Chorus]
Your name is Bond, so suave, so sly,
A whisper of danger, a glint in your eye.
Your name is Bond, a world in your stride,
With secrets untold and hearts to bide.

[Verse 2]
The bandoneón sighs, it knows your game,
Every note, a flicker of flame.
Footsteps trace the polished floor,
But it’s your voice we’re longing for.

[Prechorus]
A glass tilted, the world’s askew,
Tell me, Bond, is it me or you?

[Chorus]
Your name is Bond, so suave, so sly,
A whisper of danger, a glint in your eye.
Your name is Bond, a world in your stride,
With secrets untold and hearts to bide.

[Bridge]
Under the moonlight, shadows collide,
A dance of deception, nowhere to hide.
Your words are silk, your touch a flame,
Yet I wonder—who’s playing this game?

The candle flickers, shadows dance,
A stolen look, a fleeting chance.
Your hand on mine, a quiet plea,
Whispered words, just you and me.

[Prechorus]
The air is thick, the night’s alive,
In your gaze, I see us thrive.

[Chorus]
Never say never, when the rhythm sways,
The heart remembers, in its secret ways.
A step, a spin, a world to sever,
But here, my love, we’ll never say never.

[Verse 2]
The bandoneón sighs, a sultry moan,
Each note a story we’ve always known.
The stars lean close, the moon leans low,
A tango’s pull, its ebb and flow.

[Bridge]
Promises linger, like smoke in the air,
A fragile thread, a tender snare.
We move as one, through time and tether,
Bound by the vow to never say never.

[Chorus]
Never say never, when the rhythm sways,
The heart remembers, in its secret ways.
A step, a spin, a world to sever,
But here, my love, we’ll never say never.

Here are the lyrics:

[Verse]
On her majesty's request, I danced,
A flicker of fire, a fleeting chance.
The floor was waxed, the lights were low,
Her eyes commanded, and I followed the glow.

[Chorus]
She whispered softly, "Take my hand,"
A kingdom of rhythm at my command.
Step by step, we wove the thread,
On her majesty’s request, my heart was led.

[Verse 2]
Her shadow stretched like the moon's embrace,
Each movement a secret, each turn a chase.
The air grew heavy with her perfume,
A tango spun in a velvet cocoon.

[Prechorus]
The night sighed, the clock held still,
Her majesty’s will, my heart to fill.

[Chorus]
She whispered softly, "Take my hand,"
A kingdom of rhythm at my command.
Step by step, we wove the thread,
On her majesty’s request, my heart was led.

[Bridge]
Was it love or a royal decree?
Was I the subject, or was I free?
Each step a question, each spin a plea,
On her majesty's request, I ceased to be.

On Her Majesty's Request

another four hour love letter to black women, limp-wristed sissies and sexy nightlife workers! unfortunately some little shitstain stole my DJ controller and the universe blessed me with a mystery seizure disorder triggered by late nights, alcohol and lack of sleep. will return to DJing (in the daytime) once my neurologist gives me the okay!!

my last set of the summer before a seizure disorder and a DDJ thief ended my side hustle

playing music louder than the voices in my head

octave plateau – music by Gerhard Andreas Schreiber

Gerhard Andreas Schreiber. Since the 1980s,  composing and producing music under the name octave plateau. What began in the shadowed clubs of the post-punk era and the neon-lit pulse of the Neue Deutsche Welle has grown into a lifelong journey through diverse soundscapes and emotions.

Back then, working with artists like Markus, capturing the spirit of a generation in transition – between analog grit and melodic futurism. But the musical path didn’t stop there.

Today, octave plateau bridges four distinct yet emotionally intertwined genres:

Smooth Jazz – music like warm light on late-night streets; gentle grooves, atmospheric chords, and melodies that breathe and linger. It’s the sound of reflection and release, crafted with subtlety and soul.

New Wave – shimmering synths, melancholic harmonies, and rhythm-driven storytelling. A style rooted in the 80s, but constantly reinterpreted to reflect the tension and beauty of the now.

Deutscher Schlager – emotional, melodic, and lyrical. I approach this genre with both respect and reinvention – drawing from its traditions while reshaping its form for contemporary ears.

Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW) – raw, ironic, and rhythmic. NDW has always been the rebellious heart of octave plateau, combining German lyrics with electronic textures, punk aesthetics, and a dose of playful absurdity.

In 2024, these songs – some newly written, others rediscovered and reimagined – are being produced in the octave plateau studio in Berlin. Here, the past and the present meet in harmony and friction. Analog synthesizers hum alongside digital clarity. Stories unfold in every track – sometimes with a wink, sometimes with a sigh.

octave plateau is not just a musical alias. It’s a lifelong project, a personal archive, and a sonic playground. Welcome to a place where genres speak to one another – and where every note has a memory.

Resident DJ at Ace Hotel Toronto. Toronto/NYC.

I spin deep, atmospheric, soulful house (with a Balearic twist). Inspired by the sounds of Detroit, Chicago, New York, Paris and Ibiza.

Curator of 'SUMMING' and 'Collaborations sonores' mix series, 118-128 BPM, for the love of house.
