Octave one - The Octivation EP - 430 West / 4W-100

Here it is the promo version (which includes one different track compared to the official release) of one the most wanted Detroit techno records ever. completely mint unplayed copy.

A truly essential piece of early Detroit Techno history here, Octave One's original white label Octivation EP from 1990 has long been a sought after and a coveted slab of wax. This 5 track journey charts the Burden brothers' mood from sinister, spacey, acidic Techno jams (Sonic Fusion) to deeper, more melancholic mid-tempo cuts (Nicolette) and along the way manages to usher in a new wave of Detroit Techno sounds.

The earliest glimpse (Their 1st release) into a long and fruitful career that is still continuing today. This EP was a game-changer and its influence can still be felt in contemporary House and Techno right now.
