Artist 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.
