Editor's review

Coburn sound like a cross between Kylie Minogue (if they dropped the sweetheart act and went full throttle with the sass), a less hectic Richard Humpty Vission and more heterosexual Fischerspooner. To an electronic fan, that kind of sounds like a dream, right? Right. Leave it to U.K. producer duos to kill it every time (see especially 2006 hit, "We Interrupt This Programme").

Biography

Coburn are Pete Martin and Tim Healey.

2005 saw the genre-busting "We interrupt this programme" hit the world's radios and dancefloors and cement Coburn’s position as one of the most cutting edge production teams in the UK. Their 2006 singles turned more people on to the anarchic electronic sound of Coburn and it looks like 2007 will be the year where they sear their take on noise into your sub-consciousness.

As some of the hardest working producers in dance, the duo have barely spent a weekend in the UK this year, with seminal performances at Fuji Rock, Australia’s Two Tribes tour, tours across Europe, Germany, China, Canada and the USA; The Secret Garden Party, and the ultra-chic party to launch the new Diesel store in Osaka, Japan, and massive outdoor raves in Brazil. Over Christmas and New Year an Australia tour is slated and then it is back to South America in Jan 2007.

Their hit single: We interrupt re-wrote the rule book on house music and won Coburn support from Djs as diverse as Zane Lowe, Jo Whiley, The Audio Bully's, Mylo, Carl Cox. Not wanting to write "We Interrupt - Part 2", the band mined a different seam altogether with "Give Me Love" - a dirty Moroder-inspired low-slung juggernaut.

Their latest single on Frontier (rel. date 7/Dec/2006): "I get my kicks" shows their diverse influnces from breaks to rock. Out in January 2007 on Great Stuff recordings, "Razorblade" is sexed-up, f**ked up pop, like Kylie on acid,

These tracks represent one edge of a wide arc that reaches from guitar-led indie to futuristic pop-punk, which will be fully revealed in their debut album in 2007, with guest appearances from Princess Superstar, Heidrun Anna and Solid State.
