Octave One - Empower

The eleven-track LP by Octave Minds (Boys Noize + Chilly Gonzales) is set to drop on September 14 via Boysnoize Records and to celebrate we've got a premiere of one of the album's best cuts, 'Anthem'.

The song starts of with some serene piano work from Gonzales which is backed by majestic horns and carefully place drum stabs. Around the two-minute mark the song explodes into a heavenly four-four ballad, one that encapsulates everything good about the respective artists.

Premiere: Octave Minds 'Anthem'

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.
