Octave One touch down at Joshua Brooks for their Manchester debut – complete hardware, no compromise.
The Burden brothers have been reshaping dancefloors since '89, and their live show remains one of techno's purest expressions.
Forget DJ sets. This is Lawrence on the mixing desk, Lenny on the machines, building Detroit techno in real-time. The same setup that's levelled Berghain, Movement, and Tresor lands in Princess Street's basement for six hours of analog science. "Blackwater" might be the anthem everyone knows, but the brothers' live show goes deeper – percussive, relentless, proper.
Jordan Villa and Mad Beats understand the assignment. Both Manchester heads who know what works in this room, setting the frequencies right for when the Mothership arrives.
Low ceilings, VOID system, no phones in faces. November in that basement hits different. Limited capacity, you know how this goes.
